I have seen none of the CREED films. Having absolved myself of any qualifications, I observe that boxing is itself fiction -- proxy warfare as dictated by the Marquess of Queensberry -- and therefore all films about boxing are fiction about fiction; inherent postmodernity.
I didn't know anything about this Marquess of Queensberry and the title's connection to boxing; just looked it up. Thanks for hipping me to this info and I dig your comment.
Ah, the suspense of which grand classic you might be targeting next... I will make a bold prediction ✨🔮✨ that the country of origin might be that of ... 🇪🇸.
Also enjoyed these musings of yours (further below) and it makes me wonder..., has there been such a book written/created, meaning one that perhaps followed/imagined the Peanuts gang maturing into adolescence and well into adulthood+??
“Really the only other thing I want to mention is that the elegantly restrained and sweetly childlike style Harkham uses to depict his characters gave me the odd idea that this story is almost kinda about what the neurotic and angst-laden children of the Peanuts gang of the Fifties might have been like if they had aged into boozing, self-conflicted twenty-somethings in the Seventies.”
Sounds like an interesting and diverse week of both reading and watching/viewing. What films may be on the horizon for you, or do you generally only write/mention the films after you’ve fully experienced them?

Careful; you'll get in trouble for insider trading! 😱
Re films: I have a few thoughts but not wholly certain. May issue a new poll soon to decide.
The imagining of the future for the Peanuts gang is priceless ! Unfortunately you’re going to hell!😂
Fair enough, though that hasn't been in doubt for some time now.
I’ll be in good company then!😂

And climate is overrated anyway!😁
