Back to edit..(original posted as got - many words joined together, like Sly was typing during a strenuous workout !) :o
Sylvester Stallone (as in, "Rocky") cordially invites you, as a leader in the faith and family community, to JOIN HIM ON THE PHONE LIVE this Friday at 12:30 - 12:50 pm Pacific Time. :angel:
Sly would like to take some time to talk to you about the faith and values
that run through the Rocky films, and share with you about his upcoming
movie, Rocky Balboa, the final chapter in the Rocky story (yes, Stallone himself gets back in the ring!). 8-)
Asspace on this call is limited, please ( http://www.elabs3.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s= ... ,mb07,cg28 ) CLICK HERE TO RSVPimmediately to reserve your spot.
In interviews with various faith-based publications, Sly recently
shared some of his thoughts about the Rocky character and faith:
"In Rocky, if he's just a fighter, then it's just a boxing story, and I told
the producers in the beginning, 'It's not a boxing story; it's a spiritual
journey. It really is about a man that has been chosen to accomplish a role,
to be an example for other people.' " Interview with New Man Magazine
"If you don't have a great relationship with God, you can go off the deep
end. The Christian foundation of life is really the perfect ideal which one
should base every decision they make on, because it comes from a sense of kindness, a sense of giving, a sense of fairness, and it avoids everything
which I'm exposed to every day in my particular industry which is greed, and
avarice and jealousy and bitterness . . ." Interview with Catholic Digest
We recently screened Rocky Balboa for some key leaders, who had a chance to meet with Sly after the screening. Here's what they had to say:
"Life is hard, and faith can help us to face some of those challenges
and issues in our past and you see Rocky do that throughout the movies but particularly it comes to kind of a peak in this movie and it was exciting to see." Jud Wilhite Senior Pastor, Central Christian Church, Las Vegas, Nevada
"I thought it was a tremendous film. I thought it was powerful. It was not an overtly Christian film, but it was a film filled with Christian themes of
faith and hope and second chances and redemption,and I would say that for
us as Christians that it gives us real fodder for conversations with people
to talk about those themes." Mark Mittelberg Writer, speaker and Church Consultant
"I guess if there's one theme that stood out for me was the whole idea of
self esteem. And how important that is to be formed in the family, first of
all, and then, if it gets lost along the way, that it can be regained. And
that's a good message for people to know, and to hear that there's always
hope." Sister Rose Pacatte, 'Daughters of St. Paul'
We at Motive Entertainment (we managed the grass roots campaigns for
The Passion and Narnia, among others) have created a varietyof FREE
faith-based Rocky resources for teaching and preaching (visit http://www.RockyResources.com).
Though this is not a religious film, we believe there are many themes
("TheHeart of a Champion," "Fighting the Good Fight," "Recovery After a
Fall," etc.) that relate to faith and values. But don't take our word for it -
listen to Sly himself explain how he has woven these themes into his movies.
Please join us with Sylvester Stallone LIVE this Friday.

Rocky Balboa Synopsis
The greatest underdog story of our time is back for one final round of the
Academy Award-winning Rocky franchise. In Rocky Balboa, the former
heavyweight champion steps out of retirement and back into the ring, pitting
himself against a new rival in a dramatically different era.
After a virtual boxing match declares Rocky Balboa the victor over current
champion Mason "The Line" Dixon, the legendary fighter's passion and spirit
are reignited. But when his desire to fight in small, regional competitions is
trumped by promoters calling for a rematch of the cyber-fight, Balboa must
weigh the mental and physical risks of a high profile exhibition match against his need to be in the ring.
ROCKY BALBOA stars Sylvester Stallone, Burt Young, Milo Ventimiglia, Tony Burton, James Francis Kelly III, Antonio Tarver and Geraldine Hughes.
