2010 The Year of Rourke?

 

[Hypocrisy86]

wow, yea that did boost his career.

 

[Freakzilla]

Rambo V??

Freak

 

[Zigurd]

Great !!!

The man has talent. Although I must admit I watched the wrestler with a lack of enthusiasm... I just don't give a fuck about wrestling. But his acting made me watch it.

 

[Robcardu]

I havent seen The wrestler yet, but it def. helped his carrer, last thing i saw from him was a Enrique Iglesia's video.

You do realize it was about far more than wrestling, right?

There was more told about his life than his wrestling career.

Oh yes, more meaning than just wrestling.

:io:

 

[brendan]

it sure did help boost his carrer.

Can't wait for the Sin City 2! Nancy Callahan is still in the movie

*Patiently waits for The Wrestler to come out on DVD*

Paulie out of no where. Haven't seen you on here in a while.

 

[Samoan-Z]

One word, Paycheck.

 

[Line]

One word, Paycheck.

I'd say it's more about reestablishing himself as a reliable worker. His past escapades are likely why Penn toppled him for Best Actor at the last Oscars. It only makes sense to regain the respect of the filmic community if he hopes to make for himself as he's capable of doing.

[SiCK]

Have you guys ever seen the movie Barfly that Rourke was in?

 

[Zigurd]

You do realize it was about far more than wrestling, right?

Of course. The fact that he was a wrestler in the movie did make it hard to watch at first for me.

 

[CombBoy]

Hes gonna be one busy motherfucker with all those movies in the pipeline.
