Mickey Rourke Is Really Just A Broken-Down Piece Of Meat
Mickey Rourke will not rest until the already blurry line between where his life ends and where the fictional life of Randy 'The Ram' Robinson begins is completely obliterated (by tears). From MSNBC:
Rourke will be participating in WWE's "Wrestlemania 25" in Houston on April 5."The boys from the WWE called me and asked me to do it," Rourke told Access Hollywood. "I said, 'I want to.' I'm talking with [WWE legend] Rowdy Roddy Piper about it."
Look, good for him. Kind of. The Wrestler was great, and the good Lord in Heaven knows that Mickey Rourke has earned his moment of glory. He should stretch his success out for as long, and as far, as he can. It's just that I kind of thought that was going to mean a few more boastful months of sitting at the finest tables in town drinking champagne on the house, getting laid by unpaid women, and maybe pulling in slightly larger salaries for the next couple of movies. Not becoming a parody of the character he played in a movie that actually kind of just felt like a documentary about what happens to human faces after so many decades of bad decisions and immeasurable human sadness.
But whatever. You go, girl.

I was hoping that Mickey Rourke actually turned into a piece of meat, but whatevs.
Still gotta see Wrestler.
Score = 0
he was on Jimmy Kimmel with Rowdy Roddy Piper (whose movies rule) and there was a part where Rowdy Piper put someone in a sleeper hold and that person passed out... I hope there is a reality from this wher Mickey Rourke wears crazy clothes and talks about famous people he knew and hangs out with wreslers (Dino Bravo, Brutus Beefcake, Bastion Booger types) and then they just fake-beat the shit out of real actors (Viggo Mortenson, Shannon Sossamyn, Charles Nelson Reilly types) and make fun of Dwayne: The Rock Johnson and maybe some form of plot.... like Viva La Bam for an art crowd.. yea do that.
Score = 1
I hope wrestlemania ends with a lame, slow-motion, open-ended turnbuckle jump.
Score = -2
The best part of this is up until a few weeks ago, the WWE was putting a lot of effort into discrediting the movie and saying that its portrayal of Wrestling is nothing like it is in the WWE today. Then a lot more people took notice of the movie and now they're trying to exploit it for all it's worth.
But enough with the explanations, moar posts about... seriously, 100 million for Paul Blart, Mall Cop?
