Tie for film of the year...

...with Benjamin Button.

Does this not look amazing? Rourke is my man. The dude has been cranking out some awesome films for years. It actually enrages me how people knock this dude, and all these parallels they're drawing between his character in The Wrestler and himself are obviously apt (here is a link to a fantastic interview where he discusses this), but did we not watch Domino or Sin City where he kicked ass?


Who actually thinks he doesn't kick ass? Cause I'll kick YOUR ass!

Go watch Angel Heart. Rumble Fish. Barfly. Heck his 5 minutes in Body Heat are electrifying, plus his cameo in The Pledge was heartbreaking.

At least this film will bring him back into the public's eye, but all you people who say he's back - he's not back, he's been here the whole time (we'll give the 90's some slack, he was busy getting his face bashed in).
