I watched The Wrestler last night.

Man, Darren Aronofsky is really good at depressing the shit out of me. Great film though.

1. I like that Marisa Tomei is going topless in more movies.

[ghostsofgiants]

2. You would.

:P

10. What's the matter with you?

:P

16. Hm...well, I suppose the chest' of some men are finer displayed as more-the-manly?

:shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Kick.

It's a good movie, people!

[littlebit]

4. I scored a screener copy of it the other night.

It was a great movie but really depressing.

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Definitely.

Aronofsky is good at depressing movies, haha.

8. I know

Requiem for a Dream depressed the hell out of me for weeks. I heard somewhere that he was making a new Robocop movie.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I heard that as well.

Should be interesting.

5. Ohhhh. That looks good.

I've always liked Mickey Rourke.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. He is excellent in it.

:thumbsup:

11. Glad to hear that you liked it.

When I saw the trailer, I thought it looked like something I'd like to see.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. It's definitely worth checking out.

13. As a huge wrestling fan

I've been waiting for a movie like this for a long time. I'm also expecting Bruce to take the Best Original Song Oscar for the title song for this movie.

14. I like Mickey, he inhabits his roles, thought his Marv was cool & tailor made for Mickey...

Good edgy crazy-ass in Spun, Domino, etc, everything of his from there to here all Mickey, all pieces of the same character, pieces of Mickey...I'm sure he's saving his money he's not a dumb guy, cause I don't want to have to see him work himself out of parts. The trailer does look cool though.

"I love hit-men. No matter what you do to them; you don't feel bad."

15. **SPOILER ALERT, SKIP THIS POST IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE**

I'll have to re-watch the movie to see if there are any more "blink and you'll miss it" references like this; but it was a brilliant move to have a fan at ringside during the last match wearing a Randy Savage t-shirt. A tip of the hat to the second-most tragic wrestling love story.
