The Wrestler trailer

[ZION]

Been waiting and waiting for this to come out and finally they release a trailer. I'm a big fan of Aronofsky and from the trailer you can see Rourke bringing a strong performance to the screen.

Here's a 30 min. interview about the film with Mickey. **minor spoilers** But great interview on Mickey's part. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=165938655988147885&hl=en

[FrighT MasteR]

Caught the flick earlier -- good movie. A little overrated in my opinion, though. Regardless, Rourke gives one of the best performances in his career. :thumbup3:

7/10

:rolleyes2:

:straightface2:

[buffyslayedme717]

Totally dig Marisa Tomei...will see her play a stripper any day

[FrighT MasteR]

She has some perky ass breasts for a woman her age :mrpervert:

[Cataclysm]

Solid movie. Very different for Aronofsky as it doesn't contain is usually artistic style, but has the typical character depth that is in his movies. The Wrestler has a very unique look to it as often times it looks more like a documentary than anything else, since the camera is usually "following" Rourke's character, Randy the Ram.

This is a movie that wrestlers and wrestling fans will definitely appreciate more so than most viewers as it shows the not so glamorous life of a wrestler, when they are no longer the hot ticket. Not to mention it goes into what really goes on in wrestling matches, such as blading and match planning.

Definitely a flick worth checking out.

Oh yeah, the Necro Butcher cameo was great. For those of you who follow or followed wrestling, you'll see/hear some familiar names and faces.

[FrighT MasteR]

I really liked the behind-the-scenes aspect the film showed of the wrestling, like the blade thing that you mentioned and the camaraderie before and after matches :thumbup3:

[Cataclysm]

Yes, it was a nice touch. I think that it helped to keep the movie from getting too cheesy because of its subject matter, also that it helped to show wrestling in a serious light and how it is the life for these people.

I was really surprised that they showed Randy setting up to do a blade job, while all wrestlers do it, who bleed in their matches, its still a subject that most don't like to talk about.

Then there are the ones who've got such fucked up foreheads that it's no secret, like Abdullah the Butcher.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

Looks really good. I'll definitely check this one out. Plus, I do like the films put out by Darren Aronofsky.

[ReD]

Definitely something I'll check at some point.

No surprise that the minds around WWE give it credit but in the end find a way to diminish it a bit. With things like Wrestling with Shadows, Tough Enough and Hogans Celebrity Championship Wrestling I don't see why the minds around WWE are worried about the business being exposed anymore. Its out there.

[choptop2]

Just got back from it, and it lives up to its hype. Worth seeking out.

[Galerian]

Really want to see this. Aronofsky is the shit.

[Doc Awesome]

An incredible movie. One of my favs. from last year. Mickey Rourke does an excellent job as does Marissa Tomei. I'd recommend it.

[LgOr]

awesome movie. Rourke gives an amazing performance and you feel for him through all the crap that happens. Tomei's ass and tits were a nice touch as well. She hasnt aged a bit and still looks fuckn sexy. I thought the ending was good too, kinda sad. 8/10

[ZION]

His last line in the movie prett much sums up his career in Hollywood. 9/10
