Quotes:
Narrator: [opening narration] Portrait of a man at work, the only work he's ever done, the only work he knows. His name is Henry Francis Valentine, but he calls himself "Rocky", because that's the way his life has been-rocky and perilous and uphill at a dead run all the way. He's tired now, tired of running or wanting, of waiting for the breaks that come to others but never to him, never to Rocky Valentine. A scared, angry little man. He thinks it's all over now but he's wrong. For Rocky Valentine, it's just the beginning. more

Theologically sound, actually, 1 January 2009
Author: Julie Shaw (juliemshaw@yahoo.com) from Spokane, WA

Eternal damnation can be interpreted in many ways - having "everything you ever wanted" could most certainly become detestable after a short period of time. Granted there was no fire and brimstone, but the concept was very theologically sound. Just living with the frustration of always winning, always getting whatever you want, always having things turn out in your favor - imagine it! The spice of life is the unexpected, it's in the "not knowings" of this world that we find excitement. Remove that, and life becomes unbearable for many. Add to that the concept that "Hell" means different things to different people, and the precepts behind the story become very theologically sound.
