THERE'S ONE THING I WANT YOU TO DO FOR ME.... WIN: Or, there's also the answer that Muhammad Ali said to the screen when watching Rocky II with Roger Ebert back in 1979. A great read, with Ali critiquing Stallone-as-fighter, Apollo Creed as Ali stand-in, the film's realism ("In a real fight," Ali said, "they would never allow the eyes to be closed that much and let the fight keep going. They would stop it") and the racial implications of the ending. (HT: Chuck.)
