Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler

he thing I'm most impressed with is the fact that The Wrestler looks to have been made for very little money. I even read that Mickey and the Director Darren Aronofsky had to shop the film for distribution themselves after Post Production.

The film overall is very simple and conservatively directed. Mickey seemingly easily BECOMES this downtrodden character. I think Mickey has felt similarly in the past about himself and his own life. It wasn't too long ago that he was completely off the radar and un-hireable in Hollywood. Then he earned a great role in Sin City that effectively revived his career. Now this AND a Golden Globe! Mickey is back in a huge way. I'm interested to see what his next big role will be.

Oh yeah, Marisa Tomei is 44 with the body of a 24 year old. I was seriously impressed.

Jeffrey Wright and Josh Brolin (George W. and Colin Powell) get abused by the fuzz !!

Actor extraordinaire Jeffrey Wright and W. frontman Josh Brolin were tasered and peppersprayed back in march during the filming of the movie W. They were allegedly involved in a BAR FIGHT! It's kind of refreshing since most celebs these days are straight CRACKHEADS or UPSKIRT specialists. The cops still haven't learned that in 2008 (1992 for that matter -- Rodney King) EVERYBODY has a video camera or video phone. You just can't brutalize people in front of everyone and suffer no consequences. Especially if they are famous actors.



So anyways, I hope Jeff, Josh, and the 5 other crew members that got their asses kicked get something out of this. It was just reported by TMZ that all of the charges against Jeffrey and Josh have been dropped. Did you see how they were tasing Jeffrey even after he was handcuffed on the ground?--wow. The lady filming says to the cops "you do know you're being filmed right?" They didn't really appear to care all that much.
