WhadoIknow Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 He's unquestionably a real talent. His work speaks for itself. His forays into boxing illustrate a commitment to keeping it real. OK, he did use his ex-wife for a sparring partner, but, anyone in the boxing biz knows sparring partners are expensive, and in his defense, she was in his same weight class. Drugs? Steroids? Whatever! An actor uses all the tools that are available to him. A dead dog? Never has a dead chihuahua done so much to further a career. America loves actors with pets. ( Lord knows pets are easier than children, and they don't come back later to write tell-all books! ) I'm sure Mickey took a cue from the Hilton chic. ( Well, think Mickey's sex-tapes were precursor to Hilton's. ) Take a whoorish publicist, a well-paid stylist, a corpse masquerading as an actor, and you've got Hollywood circa 2009. In Eco-Conscious Hollywood, everything is re-cycled. Storylines, scandals, and careers! Message was edited by: WhadoIknow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoetrope Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm all for a reappraisal of Mickey Rourke's career. Maybe some day *Nine and 1/2 Weeks* will even be considered a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joefilmone Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Rourke is a perfect example of what can go wrong with your career- look at him so fresh face and human in "Diner"(1982) and then cringe at the grotesque villain of "Double Team" (1997).
