Saw The Wrestler

That was supposed to imply "I saw The Wrestler" not that you should cut up a wrestler that you have in your possession. It was a good movie and I enjoyed watching if simply for all the Jerseyness strewn throughout. 

I was trying to figure out who Mickey Rourke as Randy "The Ram" looked like. Then it hit me. He doesn't look like somebody. He looks what would happen if 1983 Mickey Rourke was put in a teleportation chamber in a David Cronenberg movie and, at the last minute, not only did a fly get in but also David Spade.


Regardless of how he looked, the acting was superb. Mickey Rourke is going to get all the nominations but Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood were also amazing in it. If you loved growing up with Randy "Macho Man" Savage and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Debiase, this movie will be totally worth it.
