Dave and Jim Munger are doing their annual male-bonding fest this weekend:
Over the course of the next four days, Jim and I are going to watch, and review, every Rocky and Rambo movie.
[...]Here's our tentative viewing schedule:
Today: Rocky I and II
Tomorrow: Rocky III
Friday: Rocky IV and V
Saturday afternoon: First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II
Saturday night: Rocky Balboa (in an actual movie theater -- assuming we can find one. It's playing in Statesville tonight, but we want to watch the movies in order!)
Sunday afternoon: Rambo III
This isn't quite as ambitious as Vidsanity!, but it ought to be entertaining. You can follow the event as it unfolds at Word Munger (Dave's personal blog) and The Fix (Jim's blog).

My review.
The last movie of this genre I watched had Christopher Lee as the Werewolf Hunter. In this movie, the Werewolves engaged in a periodic orgy in which a newly converted nubile female would would be converted into a wolf-like form to have repeated dog-like copulations with a male vampire…
Coincidentally, I just watched "Rocky Balboa" tonight. (Online! Illegally!)
It wasn't as bad as it should have been.
