Give me a Break.

Why must every movie producer beat every good idea (and yes, Rocky was a
great Idea!) until it annoys people?  Yes, folks.  The same thing is
happening to ROCKY that happened to FRIDAY, THE 13th.  I can see it now.

   "Friday the 13th Part 13: Jason's back and this time he's doubly
    dangerous!"

I hate when that happens to original ideas.
