Just got back from seeing the Q104 Halifax premiere of "The Wrestler". It's a great movie.
Mickey Rourke does an incredible job. Everyone applauded at the end of it...that doesn't happen often. Nicholas Cage was originally supposed to do this film and for various reasons it didn't happen. Thank god...'cause Mickey brought this character to life from the hard to watch wrestling matches, to some touching and heartfelt moments. He deserves that Golden Globe Award for best actor in this film. Here's his speech from the other night.

Like the fact that he did a special shout out to his dogs and went and filmed a public service announcement for Peta that would make Bob Barker proud.

And here's a revelation from The Onion. Wrestling fans are fake! Oh really...I did not know that.

It's too bad Mickey has had all that plastic surgery. It would be nice to see him have aged naturally. I'm on board with the Europeans view on ageing ...you've earned every wrinkle now wear it with pride.
Here's Mickey, prior to going under the knife and or botox injections in a wonderful movie from 1984 "The Pope Of Greenwich Village" Check out the trailer and rent it if you get the chance.
