Rocky takeaways

I watched Rocky for the first time tonight, front to back. My findings:

1. Boxing looks hard.
2. I'm not sure why everyone loved this movie? I know that's unAmerican of me to say, lo siento.
3. The longer I watched the more John's friend Matt Soloperto reminded me of Rocky.
4. I felt I must have Eye of the Tiger for my iPod. I also wanted the Rocky theme Gonna Fly Now but couldn't find a good trumpet-y version like that of the movie on the iTunes store. There is, however, a polka-ish version (by the Columbia Ballroom Orchestra) which is quite comical.
