I can also add that watching kitten-fights to the strains of "Eye of the Tiger" is a wonderful and uplifting experience.

I got a better one.
In the late 1850's an American farmer killed a Canadian hog and things got so heated that we "almost" went to war with England! The matter was settled by the (Are you ready for this?) the King of Prussia!
The only casualty in this "war" was the hog.

I just got around to reading the Rocky IV review.
I got to the part about how Rocky's first winnings were about $37,000. I then remembered a inflation calculator I used once. Here is what it said:
What cost $37,000 in 1979 would cost $110,465.78 in 2006.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2006 and 1979,
they would cost you $37,000 and $12,392.98 respectively.

| Does anyone remember an entertainment weekly article about Quentin Tarantino(probably around when Kill Bill came out) where he said the fight scenes with Drago were some of his all time favorite movie scenes? Or am I imagining this? |
