seeing mickey rourke at the oscars last night i recalled a line from, 'barfly.' a year ago, rourke could not pay someone to take his photo, unless it was in a police lineup...but last night he was the toast of the town after his part in 'the wrestler.'
i am sure you all remember the line in 'barfly,' when he entered one of his favourite watering hole to cheers from the other barflies. he said, 'ohhh, suddenly i am so popular, maybe i should run for city council.'
i read somewhere that bukowski wanted sean penn to play the part, but i thought rourke was great as chinaski. a bit ironic too that last night penn stole the statue.
