Movie night over the weekend and I finally saw the movie ‘The Wrestler’ starring the great Mickey Rourke. (it’s on ppv) He shoulda won the academy award!!! I saw Sean Penn’s movie ‘Milk’ at the theatre (with my gay bf) And although his performance was awesome, Mickey shoulda won instead! I also saw ALL of the movies the actors nominated for best actor were in. I didn’t see The Wrestler though until over the weekend. And Mickey was the GREATEST! Watch ‘The Wrestler’. The only issue I had was the ending. Since I will not be giving anything away incase you haven’t seen it by explaining the ending as it was one of those endings that doesn’t tell you what happens. You have to guess on your own. Almost exactly like the last episode of the Sopranos. Screen goes black. Boom, movie done. I was waiting for Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing to play while credits were rolling. I believe Mickey’s charector-THE RAM, lived and he and his stripper girlfriend were happily ever after in the trailer park. My boyfriend thinks he died. Mickey will now be starring in ‘Iron Man 2′ as one of the bad guys and he will be in a Stallone movie too. Mickey Rourke is my new favorite old actor. I write this blog as Mickey and the crew from that new Stallone movie are here in Nola for the next couple of weeks filming. I will be on high Mickey alert and hoefully have some Mickey encounters and sightings I can report. I hope Mickey reads this blog. If you run into him let him know.
