"You need to have the exdpertise and the guidance of someone else. You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and about what the church is: The church is the gym of the soul."
It's funny that you post this, because I just watched Rocky for the first time tonight. It's not a great movie (it has an absolutely terrible first act, among other things) but it's endearing; especially since the movie story reflects the movie production: underdog makes good on a one in a million chance.
Whatever you think of Sly, you have to admire the guy for writing (and later direcing) his own way to success.
Very well put! .. It's partly Sly's fault because he's made some truly bad movies, but it's easy to forget that he's really a very smart dude
