The Wrestler

Yes its an excellent film, very moving. I really like that director Aronofsky, he also made "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream"
 
I may go see that tonight.

Eh. Ill bet it is a great movie, but hes hard to look at nowadays. He was perfect as Marv in Sin City, but it was his looks that helped capsulize the character.

You're telling me that he's not harsh enough looking to play an over-tenderized professional fall guy?

If you ask me he fits the role well, he has the perfect torn-down appearance for a guy who abused his body like wrestlers do.... Now this movie could have been called any number of names, The Bull Rider, The Roughneck, The Lumber Jack, The Rugbyist, The Good, The Bad and The Ugliest Motherfucker in Hollywood.....why they chose Wrestler is beyond me....
 
I have yet to view this movie, but I will based on the recommendations you guys gave. True, Rourke with his multiple surgeries is very disturbing to look at. Which gives his role a little credence.

Now, the addition of Marissa Tomei really helps to balance this out. Giving a true meaning of beauty and the beast!

Yeah plastic surgery is common...

But, Bad plastic surgery is another story.

I think his Surgeon mistook the idea of "Plastic Surgery" and pour molten plastic over his face and tried to mold it. When the plastic didn't hold and fell off Rourke thought it was the top layer of his skin falling away to reveal his new self.....

:roflmao: Or, he and his surgean shared whichever drug he was doing on that particular day. Or maybe it was the Anaesthesia...

I liked him in the movie, but he does look worse than six miles of bad fence.
 
Anyone following WWE Raw right now? Rorke is calling Chris Jerricho out and challenging him to a wrestling match at a paperview. :roflmao:

I have respect for Rorke as an actor. Don't get it twisted. But he just doesn't actualy know what he is getting into if this actually happens.

lol, seriously? the only reason I think Rorke might be in trouble is his age, otherwise I think he would kick Jericho's ass, don't forget Rorke was a pro boxer.

it's all scripted yes, however Jericho was truly pissed off at Rorke for calling him out on the red carpet, did you hear the Larry King interview?

I didn't watch that whole interview. Does this have anything to do with Jerricho hitting that woman? Or, does Mickey really believe he is a wrestler now?

No, Mickey is a boxer/scrapper, I think he was just joking but Jericho is a prick and took it seriously, if Mickey were 20 years younger he would show Jericho just how fake wrestling really is. :lol:

No doubt!
 
Awesome movie that director did not make a mistake yet. Lets see if Robocop is going to be awesome too.

I never realized until this movie that in many regards being a pro wrestler is similar to that of a pro bodybuilder.
