The first of two times he's screwed for playing this role in an Oscar in the Academy awards.

If he got hit by a bus and died after Rocky I and never did anything again, people would look at him like a certain generation looked at James Dean.

Gil DuranGUEST
My fear is that no matter who wins, these guys have enough money to buy them out.
Gil DuranGUEST
and to buy both sides.
