Sylvester Stallone “The struggle and Rise” (Rocky)

Featured

Remember the super classic movie “Rocky”, starring Sylvester Stallone as the main cast ?

If you are a lover of classic movies I’m sure you do would have seen the movie before, well there’s to that movie than the story entails. The movie became Sylvester Stallone breakthrough into Hollywood, but note that wasn’t his first movie but his first major cast as an actor. Join me as I briefly take you on a journey ride of genesis of Sylvester Stallone break into the limelight through the movie “Rocky”, I hope this would stair up someone out there into greatness.

At the beginning

Sylvester Stallone had it pretty rough in life as a young adult; he came to Hollywood to pursue his passion as a young man. He started as a young struggling actor, fighting for each little movie roles he got.  He was once rejected a movie role he so wanted, but he persisted on getting it. He went as far as sleeping by the door of the director just to proof to the director how much he wanted that minor movie role.  The movie director got really touched by Sylvester’s drive and passion and at the end he got it, the never say die spirit in Sylvester Stallone is what I admired the most in him. Sylvester didn’t stop there he went on struggling as a young man, as the course of his struggles his beloved girlfriend left him. He felt devastated, leaving him only with his dog which became his closet companion as time went on. Sylvester Stallone fed from hand to mouth living each day with hope of a better tomorrow. Stealing, cheating or staying idle was never an option to him instead he pressed harder towards becoming the man he has always dreamt of being.

 

The Genesis of the Break

This was how it all began….. Sylvester Stallone got inspire after watching a boxing fight on TV because at that time I’m sure wouldn’t be able to afford a ticket to a major live boxing match. So he picked up his pen and started writing a movie script, he sat down writing for many hours, never stopped until he finished what is soon to be the world’s renowned masterpiece The movie “Rocky”, script. After completing the script he presented it to one of Hollywood’s huge movie studios, the movie studio liked it and offered Sylvester Stallone hundred bucks of dollars for the script. A hundred bucks of dollars for totally broke dude he hardly feed himself and pay bills wow! But guess what? He turned it down and gave them his own conditions for the script to be released to them.  Sylvester Stallone emphatically asked the movie company to make him the main cast of his own story, the request sounded weird and funny to them. The movie company told Sylvester Stallone that it’s not going to be possible, that they prefer to use an established actor for the major character not a rookie like Sylvester Stallone got inspire. The movie company laughed it off and offered to increase the earlier price offered way higher to convince him to change his mind but Sylvester Stallone turned the offer down and left. After the meeting with the movie company Sylvester Stallone went even more broke that he has to sell his best friend “his dog” just to feed. That was the most devastating moment of his life, he felt as though the world should just come crashing on him.

 

The Break

“But come to think of it, if it were many out there the fact that he was hungry and broke would make him sell the movie script at that mouthwatering price. Many out there would do otherwise, hungry or poverty isn’t enough excuse to lose your dignity and insanity.”

Few weeks later after selling his dog to feed, the movie company called Sylvester Stallone for talks. He went for the meeting with the movie company and at the course of the meeting they reluctantly accepted to stare Sylvester Stallone got as the main cast of the movie but would offer just peanuts for his pay. Sylvester Stallone gladly accepted the deal; he got paid and went straight to the place he sold his dog to buy him back. For weeks he couldn’t find the person he sold the dog to, but his never say die spirit still pushed to keep on searching for his best friend. Finally he found the dog and the man he sold the dog to, he was so excited to see his dog again, the dog wagged his tail sighting his original owner. Sylvester Stallone immediately offered to buy back his dog but the man refused and told Sylvester Stallone that the dog is now his and there’s nothing he could do about it. Sylvester Stallone narrated the whole deal to him, how he got to the position of selling the dog and the movie script, then the man offered a deal. He offered to sell the dog back to Sylvester Stallone for thousands of dollars (a dog he bought from Sylvester Stallone about a hundred dollar) and a role in the movie “Rocky”, Sylvester Stallone agreed to the deal and got his best friend back.

After his first major movie Sylvester Stallone got his break in the movie industry because he stood by what he believed. He could have accepted the mouthwatering offer and maybe misuse it and his dreams would be left unfulfilled. He was broke, shattered and hungry but he never allowed any of this to determine course his should follow, he stood strong and got the ultimate prize. So to my struggling brothers and sisters or you out there still hoping for a better day, don’t give up, continue doing that very thing that adds value to people, and embrace the “never say die spirit of Sylvester Stallone, you will be noticed and get rewarded someday.

Josh Gad Mourns Death of Mike Nichols, Bill Cosby’s Jeopardized Legacy

This week marked wasn’t a good one for two Holywood legends .

Multi award winning director Mike Nichols, who is one of the few stars to boast of all complete EGOT (winning Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards),passed away on Wednesday, Nov.

19, and Bill Cosby, one of the most beloved television personalities and comedians, finds his legacy diffuse into the air, perhaps forever, after years of widespread allegations of sexual
abuse have resurfaced.

Actor Josh Gad, who voiced Olaf in Frozen and played Steve Wozniak in Jobs, talked about the legacies of the two men in an emotional new column for USA Today.

Titling the piece “A legacy cemented, a legacy tarnished,” Gad, 33, compared the reputation that Nichols leaves behind with that of Cosby’s tainted honor.

Nichols died of a sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 83 after a storied entertainment career, which included films such as Working Girl, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and the Oscar-winning The Graduate, and Broadway work like his 2012 Death of a Salesman revival, The Odd Couple in the 1960s, and 1984’s The Real Thing.

He was married to Diane Sawyer for 26 years and his death sparked an outpouring of tributes, which remembered Nichols as a brilliant and kind man.

Meanwhile, Cosby has found stars and
collaborators distancing themselves from
him in recent weeks. As more and more
women continue to come forward with their own stories, the Emmy winner, 77, has lost his upcoming projects with Netflix and NBC, and TV Land has pulled rerun episodes of the eponymous sitcom that cemented his worldwide fame in the ’80s.

“Two legacies that have been all but assured of their place in history are now on completely different trajectories,” Gad writes.

“On the one hand, you have a man, who by all accounts, was generous, loving and beyond respectful. On the other you have a man who is not only being accused of raping multiple women, but doing it in a manner that is so dark and premeditated as to suggest a behavior usually reserved for serial sociopaths.”

“One is being remembered today by dignitaries and titans, while the other is being called out by alleged victims and a ravenous media,” he continued. “As the lights dim on Broadway for the great Nichols, the alarm bells will seemingly only grow louder for Cosby.”

The same week that representatives for Broadway announced that the famed theaters will dim their lights on Friday, Nov. 21, in honor of Nichols, Cosby refused to comment on the ever-growing scandal of his dark past.

“Of this I am certain — today we have lost two titans, one involuntary and one who’s presumable choices have cost him
everything,” Gad notes. “None of us can be judge, jury and executioner, but as the accusations continue to fly and each one sounds resoundingly familiar, it is safe to say that Mr. Cosby’s legacy is in as much jeopardy as Mr. Nichols’ is all but assured.”

Oh Cosby what a show of shame

5 things to know about Chris Hemsworth, ‘Sexiest Man Alive’

When you’re talking about Chris Hemsworth being named People magazine’s new Sexiest Man Alive, don’t make the mistake of calling him “that guy from ‘The Hunger Games.'”

No, Chris Hemsworth is the ripped Australian actor who’s made a name for himself as the hammer-wielding Thor in Marvel’s blockbuster movies. The Hemsworth who does star in “The Hunger Games” franchise is actually Hemsworth’s younger brother, Liam.

While the two siblings have competed for a role once before — they actually both auditioned to play Marvel’s Norse god, with Liam being a serious contender — there’s no beef between them about Chris landing at the top of People magazine’s “sexy” list.

“Liam’s been good; we’ve been throwing
sexy looks back and forth all week,” Hemsworth, 31, said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Tuesday, where his People magazine cover was revealed. “He’s been a real team player.”

And what does Hemsworth himself think
of his sexy status?

“I’m most excited about the ‘alive’ portion of that statement,” Hemsworth joked. “The sexy is a bonus, and I’m flattered.” Aside from his hotness, here are a few other things you should know about the star:

Before he was Thor, he was a TV star Down Under Chris Hemsworth earned his first acting credit in 2002, and in 2004 he landed the role of Kim Hyde on the Australian soap opera “Home and Away.” After starring on the series for three years, Hemsworth moved on to the big screen, landing a part in J.J. Abrams’ 2009 “Star Trek” as George Kirk.

He’s actually the middle Hemsworth brother There are two Hemsworth siblings that are currently dominating our movie screens, but there’s actually a third Hemsworth brother, Luke. He’s the eldest, and is three years older than
Chris.

“We grew up surfing and stuff,” Liam, 24, told Details magazine of their upbringing in Melbourne, Australia. “That’s why we can laugh (at the movie industry). This business is ridiculous.”

He’s married to Spanish actress Elsa Pataky Just as Chris Hemsworth’s reputation as Hollywood’s newest heartthrob was taking off, he settled down and tied the knot with Spanish
actress Elsa Pataky in 2010.

When his wife learned that she’s married to the “Sexiest Man Alive,” she thought “it was pretty funny,” Hemsworth told People. “We had a good laugh about it.”

Perhaps that’s because, in the Hemsworth household, Pataky still reigns as “the sexiest thing in the world,” Hemsworth said. He’s a major family man Chris and Elsa have been steadily building a family since they wed in 2010.
In 2012, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter India Rose, and in March 2014 they added twin boys to their
brood. With his movie commitments, Hemsworth has admitted that it isn’t easy balancing fatherhood with his superhero duties.

“It makes it harder and harder to leave and go to work,” he told People of being a dad last year. “I enjoy being at home a lot more than I ever have.”

He’s not only about Marvel movies So far, Hemsworth has starred in two “Thor” movies — 2011’s “Thor” and 2013’s “Thor: The Dark World” — and he has a third sequel on the way. That’s not even counting the times he suits up to star in Marvel’s “Avengers” movies.

Between that demanding schedule, Hemsworth is squeezing in other dramatic work. In 2013, he starred as British race car driver James Hunt in “Rush,” and in 2015 he’ll appear in Ron Howard’s action adventure, “In the Heart of the Sea,” and a comedy called “Vacation.”

Is Wil and Jada Smith doing a great parenting job ? Findout

A lot has criticized the way Will Smith
and Jada were raising their children. And now, in a new interview, i guess its now clear that the critics were somewhat right. Willow and Jaden sounded absolutely raw and nuts in an interview with T Magazine: Always remember that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Read the interview bellow

I’m curious about your experience of time. Do you feel like life is moving really quickly? Is your music one way to sort of turn it over and reflect on it?

WILLOW: I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that’s how I know it doesn’t exist.

JADEN: It’s proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the
universe. It’s relative to beings and other
places. But on the level of being here on
earth, if you are aware in a moment, one
second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it’s also such a thing that you can get lost in.

WILLOW: Because living.

JADEN: Right, because you have to live.
There’s a theoretical physicist inside all of our minds, and you can talk and talk, but it’s living.

WILLOW: It’s the action of it. What are some of the themes that recur in your work?

JADEN: The P.C.H. being one of them; the melancholiness of the ocean; the melancholiness of everything else.

WILLOW: And the feeling of being like, this is a fragment of a holographic reality that a higher consciousness made.

JADEN: [bursts into laughter] As soon as me and Willow started releasing music, that’s one thing that the whole world took away is, okay, they unlocked another step of honesty. If these guys can be honest about everything, then we can be more honest. You mentioned breathing earlier, and it’s also an idea that recurs in your songs.

WILLOW: Breathing is meditation; life is a
meditation. You have to breathe in order to live, so breathing is how you get in touch with the sacred space of your heart.

JADEN: When babies are born, their soft spots bump: It has, like, a heartbeat in it. That’s because energy is coming through their body, up and down.

WILLOW: Prana energy.

JADEN: It’s prana energy because they still breathe through their stomach. They
remember. Babies remember.

WILLOW: When they’re in the stomach,
they’re so aware, putting all their bones
together, putting all their ligaments together. But they’re shocked by this harsh world.

JADEN: By the chemicals and things, and
then slowly…

WILLOW: As they grow up, they start losing.

JADEN: You know, they become just like us. So is the hardest education the unlearning of things?

WILLOW: Yes, basically, but the crazy thing is it doesn’t have to be like that.

JADEN: Here’s the deal: School is not
authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to.

WILLOW: Forever, ‘til the day that we’re in our bed.

JADEN: Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty.

WILLOW: They never want to do anything, they’re so tired.

JADEN: You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out.

WILLOW: I went to school for one year. It
was the best experience but the worst experience. The best experience because I was, like, “Oh, now I know why kids are so depressed.” But it was the worst experience because I was depressed.

So what’s next?

JADEN: I have a goal to be just the most
craziest person of all time. And when I say craziest, I mean, like, I want to do like Olympic-level things. I want to be the most durable person on the planet.
WILLOW: I think by the time we’re 30 or 20, we’re going to be climbing as many
mountains as we can possibly climb.
