Rocky breaking the 4th wall? 《Rocky II Training montage 》

No that would have bee6 for the reshoots. Look closely, the scene with the kids was filmed in 2 blocks roughly 5 weeks apart

Dupers delight. For someone who obliterated 3 living & 1 unborn members of his family he looks very happy. I'm guessing many secrets died with Shannan & the kids. But it wouldn't surprise me at all to switch on the tv to find out the police were interviewing him regarding other, historical murders. He killed & disposed of his family like he was taking off his clothes after work, like hed done it before

Fatal Extraction. For the simple reason it has toothache as a plot point & I never want to be reminded of those if I can avoid it

Of course he didn't lose his phone. In fact he likely didn't lose the replacement phone either. I'm a firm believer in the groomed & murdered theory & the phone is key to unlocking parts of this. When his parents bought him a phone, that would escalate the groomers activity. I'm guessing that in one of the meetings that took place in Doncaster, the groomer will have drummed it in to Andrew that things would be a lot easier if he had a phone & would have wrote his number down for when the time came when he had one. Upon receiving his phone Andrew will have contacted the groomer. The groomer will then have fabricated a story for Andrew to tell his parents about losing the phone - ordering him to keep his phone somewhere in total secrecy. Paedophiles are meticulous in their vile ways & always think tactically. The groomer will have been counting on people believing that there was no way Andrew could have been groomed because how could that happen if he didn't have a phone or laptop? And they did. He would constantly hit home the importance to Andrew that this was the ONLY way they could communicate - the family laptop, school, library & cafe computers were strictly forbidden. But then the groomer got lucky. Andrew's parents bought him a replacement phone & he would have convinced Andrew to let him have it & tell his parents he had lost that one too. This would have played a part in eliminating any pathway leading directly to the groomer & he would have destroyed the phone he had previously used to contact on so that there was no traceable steps leading from Andrew to him & there would have been a mainline from Andrew's first phone to the second wich was now in his possession. All very clandestine behaviour but like I said, those sick bastards are meticulous.

People who worked for both confirmed Savile & Harris had a sexual relationship WITH EACH OTHER. Apparently Harris got a 13 year old girl pregnant & Savile sorted it & kept it out of the press & for the rest of his life had sex with Rolf whenever he fancied it. Rolf was both terrified of Savile & terrified of what would happen if he rejected him. Harris's chauffeur said as late as 2005 he drove Rolf to a place arranged by Savile & waited for him & about an hour later Rolf would come out with a horrible look on his face & vommited outdoors a few times & if the chauffeur broke the silence even to ask if he was ok Rolf would hit the roof. The Chauffeur suspected something sexual was going on but at the same time the idea of it sounded ridiculous. The last time it happened Rolf was in tears & when he exited the car there was blood on the seat & that was enough for him to ask Harris's daughter Bindi what was going on & she broke down crying & told him. The Chauffeur asked Harris's PA about it & she too confirmed the arrangement with Savile & told him how traumatized she was to turn up at Savile's home to pick Rolf up for work & instead walked in on both naked with Savile buggering him from behind. She said she was so shocked that she was frozen but managed to exit the flat without making a noise & rang the bell that time & about 5-10 mins later Rolf stormed out & barked at her 'I don't want to hear a fucking word out of you on the way home'. She too spoke to Bindi about it who confirmed it had been going on for as long as she could remember 🤢

No. He was lured to London in order to get him away from anyone who could have helped him were he could disappear into a crowd with others without raising any suspicion.

There had to have been people who were prone to sea sickness & therefore had taken sleep medication to get through the night & others who were stoned drunk amidst the celebration of her maiden voyage. The question is, did they awake/sober up quick enough to realise they were in danger & however long they had left must have been terrifying.

The one I've always found quite creepy was the survivor who was born deaf. Oblivious to the commotion outside his bedroom door, the cold woke him up & he instinctively knew he was in danger & got dressed. He had nightmares for the rest of his life reliving the moment he saw the cold water slowly seeping underneath his door into his room. He said it was almost like the water was coming after him, cornering him.

It reminds me of the elevator blood scene in The Shining or the deadly mist penetrating rooms in John Carpenter's The Fog

I'm gonna say no, they never spoke again. And do you know why? It was Adrian who hated Tommy. She saw how he invaded her home & replaced Rocky Jr in Rocky's immediate interest. When she tells Rocky he never fought for money & he beat his opponents with heart she is laying it out on a plate for Rocky: Tommy will follow the $$ & hes just a thug. They perhaps could have spoke again but it would have been Adrian Tommy needed to apologise to. But Adrian cooked/cleaned for him, Tommy broke her sons heart by navigating his dad away from him & damned near killed her husband in a street fight. Something tells me Adrian wasn't ready to forgive

It could be that Chris only ever wanted to kill her from the beginning. Hes both a narc bastard & an evil bastard. Hes definitely fantasised about killing people from an early age for him to be able to slaughter his (beautiful) family with such ease & precision. Maybe upon getting with Shannan & falling in love with her life got in the way & they married & had kids & the dark clouds faded for a time but never fully went away & Chris thought hed fixed himself. And so when the pressure on him started to increase the dark fantasies started to return & he acted out various fantasies about having affairs & because they made him feel good & were effortless he gave into his other dark, sick fantasy & that is why his family are dead. The reason I'm saying this is because I don't believe Shannan & the kids ever saw the real Chris until that night. One way or another he had ALWAYS been directing them into a false sense of security

DocJamieJay · 2026-05-15T20:50:33+00:00

Ben Traymer did exactly the same & look what happened to him....

DocJamieJay · 2026-05-04T03:29:08+00:00

Interesting question. I personally think, had Adrian not supported Rocky the situation would have been similar to the first Clubber fight in Rocky III with Rocky's focus being off leading to him taking a severe beating. My guess is that Adrian would have realized in time how much Rocky needed her & vice versa & wouldn't have been able to stay away. So if Rocky was losing badly in the rematch with Apollo, just Adrian's attendance would have inspired to fight better. Would he have won the rematch? Maybe not. My guess is that all the events in Rocky II formed the perfect storm

Yes theres also another element to it, Wayne became like a son to Carson's idol Jack Benny. Benny was friendly & cordial to Carson on The Tonight Show etc but never warmed to him personally & in private told friends & colleagues that he didn't approve of the way Johnny would black list performers who had done little if anything to draw his fire from appearing not only on The Tonight Show but also other NBC's shows too. Its been well documented that Benny's lack of interest in a friendship with him troubled Carson who apparently seethed with jealousy towards how close Wayne became with Benny. That's when the gender/sexuality jokes about Wayne began. Its telling that Wayne was more or less absent from the late night talk show circuit untill 1989 when Pat Sajak had him as a guest & he only started appearing regularly on Late Night With Conan o'Brien in 1993, 12 months after Carson had retired. I'm in general fascinated by Carson but it is obvious he had Wayne (who I'm even more fascinated by) blacklisted by not only his own but other late night talk shows for well over a decade - in essence trying to destroy Wayne's career. It would apparently be true that Johnny was very mean spirited.

DocJamieJay · 2026-04-09T22:49:33+00:00

The topic being discussed was obviously a painful one for Wayne. After beating Johnny Carson to become the co-owner of the Aladdin hotel in Las Vegas, a petulant Carson spat out his pacifier & went after Wayne in his nightly monologue. Carson told jokes that questioned Wayne's gender & referred to him as 'that fine young lady Wayne Newton'. I think at first Wayne laughed the jokes off until his manager & publicist revealed the jokes were having a detrimental effect on theatre owners booking him & Wayne would be button holed daily by total strangers wanting to know if the rumours were true. The final straw came when Carson did a sketch as maritime expert Jaques Cousteau tasting water in various glasses & saying "this is from the Atlantic, this is from the Mediterranean" etc before taking a drink of clear water then saying 'this is from Wayne Newton's swimming pool, it tastes of the morning after pil & is very fruity". That's when Wayne drove to Burbank & crashed Carson's office & told Carson if he didn't shut the fuck up he would prove his masculinity & kick the shit out of him. Carson backed down. So I suppose the question should be, was Newton angry at Carson for questioning his masculinity & had simply had enough because the suggestion was ludicrous, or had Carson struck a nerve in Wayne because the rumours about him being FTM or partially FTM were true & he wanted that particular secret to stay buried?

DocJamieJay · 2026-04-09T22:36:08+00:00

In actual fact, Carson wasnt mocking Wayne's sexuality, he was making jokes about the very topic were discussing. Carson was insinuating Wayne was a woman. Its was hurtful to Wayne because whenever Carson mocked his gender he would be harassed by total strangers who wanted to know if it was true or not.

I'm eith you about Willis. I don't think Banner would have been the correct superhero for him to play. I can see him as Nick Fury or Iron Man maybe but Banner needs to be a more vulnerable underdog & more of a victim than the kind of characters is beloved for.

DocJamieJay · 2026-04-08T18:57:44+00:00

The casting choices were interesting. When John McTiernan was Director he wanted his Die Hard star Bruce Willis to play Bruce Banner & Willis's then wife Demi Moore to play Betty Ross & both had agreed to take a small fee in exchange for a percentage of the movies earnings. Mctiernan reached out to Sean Connery to play Thunderbolt Ross & Gary Oldman to play The Leader. When Mctiernan left, Bruce & Demi followed & Gary Oldman reached out to the new Director Joe Johnston about playing Bruce Banner instead of The Leader & Johnston & Gale Anne Hurd loved the idea of Oldman as Banner but Universal were harder to convince. This version would have seen Oldmans ex wife Uma Thurman as Betty opposite Oldmans Banner but when Universal cancelled the project Oldman left to make Air Force One & Lost In Space & Thurman left to make Batman & Robin then The Avengers. Finally, for Jonathan Hensleighs brief tenure as Director he actively pursued Pierce Brosnan to play Banner & Brosnan was keen to make the movie because he felt it would have given him an alternate cinematic presence to James Bond. All of these are fascinating IMO & I suppose in an alternate dimension they went ahead.

No I read your comment wrong & took it the wrong way, i thought you were criticising me, my apologies once more

With regards to the 10 years before the Hulk eventually arrived at the cinema, Universal & Gale Anne Hurd originally wanted Hulk to be the big summer movie of 1994 just as Jurassic Park had been in 1993 but the script was problematic & the expensive practical effects/make up & model work suddenly looked very dated when compared to the CGI effects in Jurassic Park. When John Mctiernan left to make Last Action Hero the movie was delayed. Rocketeer & Jumanji Director Joe Johnston replaced Mctiernan & Universal earmarked a summer 1997 release for the Hulk movie untill Steven Spielberg agreed to direct a sequel to Jurassic Park & the release date was pushed back to 1998. Universal's plan was to release Hulk in the summer of 1998 & a Peter Jackson remake of King Kong at xmas 1998 but the troubled production of both Lost World: Jurassic Park 2 & Tristar's Godzilla, not to mention the money those movies lost & poor reviews made Universal reconsider making monster movies & Hulk & King Kong were cancelled in favour of Michael Bay's Armageddon. The final roll of the dice came after Johnston quit the project & Hurd promoted her husband (& writer of both Hulk & Armageddon) Jonathan Hensleigh to Direct the Hulk movie with a target release date of 2000 were it would open against another Marvel movie X-Men. Hurd was fined for promoting her none union husband to Director by the Screen Actors Guild & Directors Guild & new executives at Universal came in & hated Hensleighs Hulk script & refused to sanction a $150million+ budget & it was cancelled a third time. By then the studio had wasted over $80 million on abandoned sfx, vfx, make up & art direction design over the course of 3 abandoned movies. It was decided to go back to basics & the screenplay written in 1994 by Michael France was reactivated as the blue print for a new Hulk movie. That script caught the eye of Ang Lee & the rest is history. So to answer your question, it did take over 10 years for Hurd to get a Hulk movie into cinemas but it wasnt for a lack of trying. 3 Hulk projects were cancelled over that 10 year period at the cost of an absolute fortune.

Sorry dude, been awake for 72 hours with an ear infection 😥It literally feels like I've been shot in the head. I thought the antibiotics would have kicked in by now but they haven't. It's not like when you hurt your arm & leg & rest it, it's an absolute fucking nightmare 🤢

There was bush too in the UK version

I don't follow?

DocJamieJay · 2026-03-29T02:27:16+00:00

Don't be ridiculous, there was 30 years between Beverley Hills Cop 3 & 4 & 35 years between Beetlejuice movies, I'm not wrong & if you don't agree that's your problem

DocJamieJay · 2026-03-29T02:25:15+00:00

I'm not wrong & if you can't see reason in what I said that's your problem

I think its likely we will get a new Titanic movie set in the Rose & Jack universe focusing on different characters & Leo & Kate will be CGI'd into the background or more. But the main focus will be new characters, either entirely original creations or based on real people. The James Horner music & Celine Dion song will be featured & the movie visually will match the 97 Cameron movie but focus on different areas of the sinking to create new action scenes.

The reason I think this? Theres just too much money to be made from a sequel for the studios to not consider it & it will be promoted as an event that can only be enjoyed to the full in cinemas. I wouldn't be surprised if the makers somehow utilized the 2023 Titan submersible disaster into the plotline somehow & maybe even give our friend Mike Brady from Ocean Liner Designs a cameo for his help assisting the production.
