The Poojer Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 if you havent seen this movie, do it, it is really good, mickey rourke is excellent in it The Wrestler
erynthered Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I liked that Mickey Rourke bashes Sean Penn. He called him a "homophobe" and an "average" actor. That should really help his Oscar hopes.
bizell Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 this movie is !@#$ing fantastic. what a sad, sad existence they have portrayed for randy 'the ram' ramzinski. if you haven't seen it, watch it.
The Poojer Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 i think it also shows an equally sad existence for the marisa tomei character this movie is !@#$ing fantastic. what a sad, sad existence they have portrayed for randy 'the ram' ramzinski. if you haven't seen it, watch it.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 This is a cool story about how he got Bruce Springsteen to write a song for him that won the Best Song last night. Another in an endless series of examples of why Springsteen is the coolest. Rourke wrote him a long letter about the movie (and sent him the scsript) and asked him to do it for free. Springsteen said he was touring but would try if he could. Rourke went to see his show in NJ a few months later with Darren Aronofsky the Director. Bruce sat them down after the show and played the song he wrote for them and said. "I don't know if it's any good yet" and it just blew the guys away. It's similar to what happened with the movie "Philadelphia". http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1602516/story.jhtml
bizell Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 i think it also shows an equally sad existence for the marisa tomei character that's true. professions for over-the-hill people that require physical things (looks in tomei's case, muscle/body in rourke's) have no pity.
The Senator Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 pretty good interview w/rourke on cbs a couple sundays ago... link
buckeyemike Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Hope to see The Wrestler soon. The trailer alone blew me away.
WellDressed Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Boy looks like a straight red neck in the picture with his ex wife. "Barkeep (Barman), fetch me a draft!!" Micky Rourke in "The Barfly" w/Faye Dunaway
