Fury of the Film Fan reviews The Wrestler

I have learned many new sexual positions just from watching wrestling.

They're in some sort of body lock when snap, his arm's gone 90 degrees.

That looks like it might've hurt a bit.

Can you get any more redneck than this?

The only way this could be better is if they all threw grenades.

Maybe you should try not being 500 pounds?

That's what you get for rolling around on the ground groping another sweaty dude.

Next time you're filming a fake wrestling match and it looks like the wrestler is about to flip on top of you, you should probably move.

The guy looks buff, but he's still a shortie.

Backyard wrestler takes a hard dive on to his neck.

I give my opinion on the movie The Wrestler and my opinion on how the Academy Awards Committee messed up BIG TIME on this fantastic movie!

The Wrestler - Mickey Rourke (Drake Younger's view) The Wrestler is an upcoming film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Mickey Rourke, Ernest Miller, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. Production   more...began in January 2008. The film premiered at the 2008 Venice Film Festival and was a winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film. Fox Searchlight has acquired rights to distribute the film in the U.S.,[1][2] and will be released in a limited capacity on December 17, 2008.Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) is a professional wrestler from the 1980s who is forced to retire after a heart attack threatens to kill him the next time he wrestles. He takes a job at a deli, attempts to form a relationship with a stripper (Marisa Tomei) and does his best to reconcile with his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood). However, he is drawn to the prospect of a rematch with his old wrestling nemesis the Ayatollah (Ernest Miller), even though the fight may cost him his lifeThe Wrestler was scripted by former The Onion writer Robert Siegel and entered development at director Darren Aronofsky's Protozoa Pictures. Actor Nicolas Cage entered negotiations in October 2007 to star in the film's lead role as Randy "Ram" Robinson, a former wrestler.[3] The following month, Cage left the project after attending a Ring of Honor show in Manhattan, New York, and Mickey Rourke replaced the actor in the lead role. According to Darren Aronofsky, Cage pulled out of the movie because Darren wanted Rourke as the lead character. Darren stated that Cage was "a complete gentleman, and he understood that my heart was with Mickey and he stepped aside. I have so much respect for Nic Cage as an actor and I think it really could have worked with Nic but… you know, Nic was incredibly supportive of Mickey and he is old friends with Mickey and really wanted to help with this opportunity, so he pulled himself out of the race." [8] Production began in January 2008,[9] with filming taking place in New York and New Jersey.[5] Scenes were also shot at Alhambra Arena in Philadelphia.[10] Afa Anoa'i, a former professional wrestler, was hired to train Rourke for his role. Anoai brought his two main trainers, Jon Trosky and Tom Farra to work with Rourke for eight weeks. Both trainers also have parts in the movie.[11]
[edit] Music
Clint Mansell, the composer for Aronofsky's previous films, p, Requiem for a Dream, and The Fountain, reprised his role as composer for The Wrestler. A new Bruce Springsteen song, also titled "The Wrestler", plays in an acoustic arrangement over the film's closing creditsPhilip Andre "Mickey" Rourke, Jr. (born September 16, 1952) is an American actor, who has appeared primarily in action, drama and thriller films. Trained as a boxer in his early years, Rourke had a short stint as a pro fighter in the 1990s. Although his acting career has been uneven, he has recently carved out a niche with gritty, anti-hero roles.
Rourke was born in Schenectady, New York,[1] the son of Ann and Philip Andre Rourke, Sr., who was an amateur body builder.[2][3][4] His family was Catholic and of Irish and French descent.[5][6] After his parents divorced, he moved with his mother to South Florida, where he attended Miami Beach Senior High School.[7] (There are some reports that Rourke took drama classes with the legendary "Teacher to the Stars", Jay W. Jensen, even appearing in at least one stage-play. However, the "P. Rourke" listed in that play's credits could have been his sister, Patricia Rourke, who also attended Miami Beach Senior High School.)
Rourke's teenage years were more aimed toward sports than acting. Rourke claims he was raised in the tough inner city neighbourhood of Liberty City. However, a 1971 Natilus Junior High School telephone directory lists Rourke's sister's address as Miami Beach. Regardless, Rourke took up self-defense training at the Boys Club of Miami. It was there he learned boxing skills and decided on an amateur career. At the age o  less

If you were being humped by a freak with no legs and mini-arms, you'd probably just give up and hope it's over with soon too.

Fake wrestling is always better when the "performers" screw up and actually hurt themselves...

I cook with this mask on.

The wrestling may be completely faked, but the sound of your skull smacking into those stairs is all real baby.
