Kinetic Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I hear that Mickey Rourke plays a wrestler in this movie. I haven't actually seen it. I hear that he talks to Jack Nicholson and is all "your time is up, my time is now." And he makes a hand gesture which would seem to indicate that his fellow combatant cannot see him. And I guess Marisa Tomei is in the movie, although I must confess that I have not seen the film. I hear that for all the kudos Rourke is getting, Vladimir Kozlov really carries the movie. Discuss.
Lord of The Curry Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free? If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street? If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more? Tell me can you ask for anything more? Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat? If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze? If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more? Tell me can you ask for anything more? These things that have comforted me, I drive away This place that is my home I cannot stay My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free? If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me
Angle-plex Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 not as good as Ledger's performance in the Dark Knight.

So you won Poster of the Year here, huh?
Cran Da Maniac Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I don't see Mickey Rourke listed.
chuck415 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 At least one person in that movie killed a dude.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 The Great Khali is in the Wrestler?
The Niggardly King Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Eh, I liked the Chris Benoit version more... just riveting stuff.
Kinetic Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 So you won Poster of the Year here, huh? Listen, what are you implying by asking that question? I don't know you. Don't pretend that we know each other.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Kinetic, I think the wrestling movie's called Ready to Rumble. Common mistake, though.
Kinetic Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 A thought: If TSM were to have a Mount Rushmore, all four faces would belong to me. There would be Happy Kinetic, Caffeinated Kinetic, Drunk Kinetic, and Recently Bathed Kinetic. Nobody else would be allowed on this carving. You can't even take pictures of it. Why don't you just go home?
Big Ol' Smitty Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Spoiler alert: There is no God.
Kinetic Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 I haven't seen one serious response to my original post in this thread. I should have known that it was a waste of time trying to have a serious discussion about high-brow cinema here. Let's try this instead: Y'all fellers seen Paul Blart: Mall Cop? It's got that fat waste from that one awful show, but instead of being a UPS guy, he works mall security. And then something happens and I guess he dies, but his ghost comes back and haunts a Sbarro.
King Kamala Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I was thinking about starting a thread about The French New Wave in Movies/DVD/TV last night before realizing it'd probably end up getting one serious response from Byron The Bulb and then somebody asking me why I wasn't posting the thread in the music folder.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I watched Breathless for the first time in a couple years this past weekend. That movie owns. <3 Jean Seberg <3
BUTT Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Those damn frogs like Saddam more than George W.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Not quite the French New Wave, but I've been big on Jean-Pierre Melville lately. I ordered Le Cercle Rouge just the other day!

Dude, I would post in this thread. Start it.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I wish Criterion or someone would release Celine and Julie Go Boating on DVD in the US. I really want to see it but don't feel like shelling out $60 to import a Region 2 DVD. Someone needs to release Histoire(s) du cinéma over here too.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 The Great Khali is in the Wrestler? He plays a stripper.
The Niggardly King Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Le Boucher and Que la bête meure are pretty good. I only know Chabrol films from this time period. What else should I watch?
treble Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I tried watching Rashomon one time with French sub-titles. I got about 5 minutes in.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 There's now a French New Wave thread in the movies/tv folder, guys. Go have fun!
At Home Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I met the guy from Haiku Tunnel today in Berkeley.
Star Ocean 3 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I felt weird how everyone was talking about the greatness of Mickey Rourke and that he's back, and I had never heard of him before this movie, ever.
Maztinho Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I felt weird how everyone was talking about the greatness of Mickey Rourke and that he's back, and I had never heard of him before this movie, ever. He was in Sin City... I mean come on! He was hot stuff in the 80's too, gonna be like Tom Cruise and shit only with acting skills. Then he got high, and was on a road to flame out, a glorious trainwreck flame out, and now he's back.
