Benedick: Your wit is as quick as the greyhound’s mouth; it catches.
Margaret: And yours as blunt as the fencer’s foils, which hit, but not hurt.
Benedick: A most manly wit, Margaret; it will not hurt a woman: and so, I pray thee, call Beatrice: I give thee the bucklers.
Margaret: Give us the swords; we have bucklers of our own.
Much Ado About Nothing – William Shakespeare
Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies, since I’ve always found them to be endlessly fascinating.
I’m a big fan of the Rocky film series. The first one is nearly perfect, the next three are all good fun (the less said about the 5th one, the better) and I absolutely love Rocky Balboa, the 6th film in the series which was released in 2006 and featured an aged Rocky returning to the ring to face a young champion based on an ESPN computer simulation. I also happen to like Raging Bull, the Jake LaMotta biopic by Scorsese which featured a tour de force performance by Robert De Niro. However, I had no desire to see the two films combine into the travesty of a trailer that I was presented with at the theater this weekend. Take a look and read on for my comments:
