because they have never met nor worked with performers. I say so from experience, so unless you have you are as fake and phony as they are.Calling actors phony is like calling the ocean wet.
You have met performers? OMG, that's AMAZING! You should email me. I don't get to meet many performers, I live in Japan and the ones I have met are all very short. Have you met any TALL performers, who would wear, say, a size 12 or larger wrestling shoe? I have a Mickey Rourke wrestling costume from a movie he made. It's in a vault but I visit it every few days to smell it. Please EMAIL ME. We need to talk. I mean it.they have never met nor worked with performers. I say so from experience
you're boring with your incessant and puerile drivel.You have met performers? OMG, that's AMAZING! You should email me.
Linda Bukowski has said that he really hated it.
In Born Into This at 1:40 Bukowski gives a decisive criticism of Rourke's portrayal. It is just as Roni said, exagerrated. The specific scene that Bukowski called out was when he walked into the bar and says 'i've been missed, i should run for mayor.' Rourke did this in a loud obnoxious way, and Bukowski says it missed the point entirely:he said it was overexaggarated, like the way Mickey Rourke had his hair into his face. And he claimed, that even in his worst days he never looked so fucked up as the Chinaski-character in Barfly. (all this in an interview, that Thomas Schmidt did in 1990)
having said that (and let me know mods if this citation is a violation of copywright), the movie IS a Bukowski, and if you're going to watch hollywood, you might as well at least watch something with writing in it and a couple of good lines.I don't think the kid (Rourke) hase ver been on skid row.... he didn't get it right ... see, you don't brag it. it's low key all the time. he had it all .. kindof exagerrated, it's untrue ... a little bit show off about it ... so no ... it was kindof misdone ... i found out that hollywood is more crooked, dumber, crueler, stupider, than all the books i'd read about it. they didn't go enough into it, how it lacks art .. soul .. art ... how its really a piece of crap. there are too many hands directing, they'res too many fingers in the pot and they're all kindof ignorant about what they're doing, they're greedy and they're vicious so you don't get much of a movie
I've always wondered what Buk's personal feelings were towards 'Barfly'. Did he like it? Didn't he actually work with the production of the film from afar? Did he like & approve of the final product?
