Suddenly everyone is Robert Osborne online – if you don’t remember him, he was a Turner Classic Movies Host who literally brought back “old movies” to a new generation – but now there are so many liner-note commenters. You’ve got a cinema ga-lazy of Blogstars and Podcast heroes, so it’s unremarkable when all-comers comment on films…

However, tonight MGM is casting Sylvester Stallone as a Live Studio Host to stream his signature Academy-Award Winning picture on MGM’s Studio’s Facebook page.

“The free screening event invites fans nationwide to chat and watch the film live with Stallone as he joins on camera for a special livestream of MGM’s classic hit movie,” the Studio says.

This live event will benefit communities impacted by COVID-19, which is an added plus.

So here’s a montage from the original Sly cinderella story, about a guy who gets all buffed up, goes to a brawl, and comes home a King.

TUNE IN TONIGHT:
MGM FACEBOOK PAGE
LIVE at 4pm PST / 7pm EST

Have fun, kids… and do some push-ups, you’re starting to look like you’re under house arrest or something… yo, Adrian! 😉

WHAT: Benicio del Toro announces today’s AFI Movie Club selection: ROCKY. The film is ranked on both AFI’s original and 10th anniversary lists of the greatest American films of all time. Rocky Balboa punches his way to #7 in the pantheon of AFI’s greatest screen heroes, and the film lands at #4 as one of the most inspiring movies ever. And the ROCKY theme song – “Gonna Fly Now” – is championed by AFI as one of the greatest movie songs.
DID YOU KNOW? ROCKY was one of the first feature length films to use a Steadicam. Garrett Brown, who is credited with special camera effects for ROCKY, was granted a patent for the Steadicam process in 1977. In this exclusive video from the AFI Archive, Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire talk about working on the film (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teTHJRDukpM).
