i don't know Une, is there any need for a entire TV series based on Tremors?

Maybe you should be happy for the people who are excited for Rocky's return.

I will tell you what I told my friends at cylon.org..

" Rocky is one of my favorite on screen heroes of all time and you people just roll your eyeballs of this exciting announcement of Rocky 6.

I just want to point out that poking fun at Rocky is as equally distasteful.

It was Rocky who inspired me all my life to defeat the challenges in my life that had overwhelming odds against me. It was Rocky that help shape and mold me into the person I am today.

Those of you who knows me can tell you that Rocky was the main reason why I wanted to be a professional fighter."
I'm a fan of the Rocky series. I've liked every single one of the sequels, although Rocky 4 was somewhat out of place. But the thing is I feel that even though the sequels are for the most part are pretty fun, they all take away from the first film. The point of the first film was even though Rocky lost the big fight he gained something more important, a bit of self respect. By having Rocky come back in the sequel and beat Creed, to me, tarnished the first film. It seemed to take away from the film instead of complimenting, or adding onto it.

The same can be said of the Tremors sequels and series, all of which were fun but unnecessary.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm going to see Rocky 6 and I'm very sure that I'll enjoy it, but just like Rocky 3, my favorite of the sequels, I'll like it but think of it as a needless addition to the Rocky saga.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
Dave Bowman: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.
HAL: It's called "Daisy."
