For those of you who thought I was going to hum a few bars of Tony Basil's song, I'm sorry to disappoint, but Hey, if you want I guess we could do a little bit. "Hey Mickey you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey Mickey." Yeah, yeah, I know. Now you will be cussing me out all day because you have it in your head. Nothing wrong with that.
Actually though this is about taking the time to tell Mickey Rourke, who is by far one of my favorite celebrities to write about. Over the past year I have posted some photos of Mickey from his comeback film The Wrestler. Apparently Mickey is back and amazing and he kicks ass, because it won the award for Best Picture at the Venice Film Festival. Apparently he would have won the award for Best Actor, but they have some weird rule about more than one award going to the same film.
Mickey, as usual, dressed to impress at the awards, but I have nothing but love for him and for making a comeback. Now if someone could just talk to him about his clothes. Below is a clip from the film and an interview about it.

Who's the hobo?....Oh, that's Mickey Rourke....jeez, what a mess.
ReplyDeleteI've always really liked Mickey but dang...years of abuse, boxing and surgery...kinda sad....I used to think he was so hot. 9 1/2 Weeks? LOVED IT.
ReplyDeleteto think i had the hots for him when he was in 9 1/2 weeks (yeah, i would have fought you for him, kris!). the guy looks nothing like he once did. it's sad.
ReplyDeleteI met him outside of a tanning salon in the Village and it took me forever to recognize who this guy was, he looked like a drag queen with that messed up face of his. The tanning salon girl had o tell me that it was Mickey Rourke, EWWWW, what a dayuuuum shame
ReplyDeleteI still love him, I don't know why.
ReplyDeletelol Molly....ain't it a shame...
ReplyDeletekris, it is, it is!
ReplyDeletecalifblondy, you're a better person than i am. i feel shallow now. i'm sure i'll get over it in a couple of minutes, but in the meantime, i do feel shallow...lol.
i think on netflix you can watch 9 1/2 weeks online for free if anyone subscribes and is interested.
Me, Mick, and an opened refrigerator door.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm.
Molly, I even loved him in Sin City. Sick, I know.
califblondy, i'd say you're more loyal than sick!
ReplyDeleteWow. What the hell happened to Mickey Rourke. I mean, I know he had bad plastic surgery etc. but what was/is wrong with his head to have made him screw up his life so much?
ReplyDeleteHe actually doesn't look so bad in the parts of the interview here where he's wearing the glasses. But those pictures of him and Evan Rachel Wood a couple days ago (check Dlisted to see what I mean)--uggghhhhh.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh yeah, 9 1/2 Weeks. I stole the DVD from am ex (well, really, I just "forgot" to give it back!). I have never 0r&@$^^ed so much during a movie of any kind, including straight woman-friendly porn. I think I liked Kim better, though. Is that TMI? Well, too late. :)
I own 9 1/2 Weeks and Wild Orchid. And as long as I'm confessing, Showgirls too. Hilariously cheesy soft-core porn is one of my vices.
ReplyDeleteBut post-surgery addiction Mickey Rourke is not good. Evan Rachel Wood has gotta be on serious drugs, right?
I saw Angel Heart 3 X in 1987 for that man...I still didn't understand the movie but I thought Mickey Rourke was the hottest thing going...except for Andrew McCarthy. I was 17; I can't explain these things.
