Appreciate your friends
mjp is right about Rourke mumbling through Barfly like Popeye, but he isn't that bad. Time will tell.
Right. Well I don't consider any of those to be really good movies, so now what? Come on, Angel Heart? Rumblefish? 9 1/2 weeks?! Jesus christ.BODY HEAT, RUMBLE FISH, DINER, POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE, ANGEL HEART, SIN CITY, THE PLEDGE, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO, PRAYER FOR THE DYING, 9 1/2 WEEKS.
you seem to know quite a bit.
homeless....i was actually responding to a very angry carnivore. sorry if it sounded as if it was directed at you. mr carnivore is sounding pretty hostile today. perhaps he should go and see 'slumdog millionaire.' to cheer himself up. or maybe he just likes being angry.my ignorance has paraded around here often. don't confuse a few facts with knowledge. ;)
Now I'm going to cry. I hope you're happy.mr carnivore is sounding pretty hostile today. perhaps he should go and see 'slumdog millionaire.' to cheer himself up. or maybe he just likes being angry.
Homeboy rings a bell, but I don't think I've seen Johnny Handsome.
You know, except when I look in the mirror!
Get it? Get it?
Never mind.
I didn't know we were in a war. I wasn't.truce?
No prize on this one. Just finished watching it, and good lord, anyone who calls this a Rourke "comeback" - or even acting - should have their eyes and earholes (and maybe brain function) checked.Like I said, maybe his wrestler movie is astounding, I haven't seen it. When I do, if I like it, I'll admit he's been good one movie.

Watching Rourke in this movie is like watching a potato with a really bad weave and creepy Howard Hughes fingernail claw things. It should have been marketed as a horror movie. I'm not kidding - what are those monstrosities at the ends of his fingers?! I'm going to have nightmares about those.
The story is predictable, and again, Rourke can't act because he can't move his fucking face.
Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch and yawn. I nominate it for the Palme d'Bore.
Really? I guess he had to cultivate some convincing gestures since he can't move his face anymore.really??? i thought rourke was AMAZING in this, i totally believed him in this role. the way he moved, his gestures, the way he looked, all brought to mind the wrestlers we used to watch as kids. i was genuinely moved by his performance.
I trust my eyes, and my eyes saw a potato in a dirty wig.
[...] you can't get the image of Rourke's weird claws out of your mind...
[...] Did anything happen - even one thing - that you didn't see coming?
[...] and his dad says, "Eh...yeah....well, I've heard that before. [...]
Really, that's one of the most simplistic and reductive perceptions of the seventh art I've ever read.Really, most movies are contrived and stupid.
I just came across this, vis a vis Rourke's weird fingernails:what are those monstrosities at the ends of his fingers?! I'm going to have nightmares about those.
