Speaking Of The Wrestler (And Not The Oscars) Mickey Rourke Is Legendary


The Oscars happened and I suppose we should comment on it but it was all so boringly predictable and MOR that we decided to post this clip instead. See folks, this is how to make an acceptance speech. Take note A-listers. If viewership figures for the Oscars keep going South you may need to learn a thing or two from Rourke. The guy should give seminars on public speaking. Rule 1. Cursing is funny!

Oh and as far as The Oscars go, we have nothing to say other than we felt sorry for Mickey and were pleased for Danny Boyle. Otherwise this may have genuinely been the dullest Oscars ever.

*Disclaimer. We are some of the last few suckers who actually like the Oscars. Our dismissal comes from our disappointment in this year's ceremony not from the same old predictable dismissal of the maintream instituionalism of it. It's like being disappointed in an old friend who used to be funny and exciting and unpredictable, when he used to drink but is extremely boring now that he's sober. Come back fun Bobby! We miss you. We've got a shoulder of vodka with your name on it.
