Aronofsky > ME (foot wedged firmly in mouth, thanks.)

Bruce Springsteen should start writing his acceptance speech.  Best Song is locked.  Incredible.

Mickey Rourke should be prepared to RAM JAM that little weasel, Sean Penn, as he walks by on his way to the win for Best Actor.  Does anyone who read this know if Mickey Rourke is method?  He just absolutely IS this role.  Nicolas Cage was supposed to play it…  Mickey Rourke BECAME this movie.  Incredible.

I can’t decide who’s in better shape, though… Mickey Rourke rocking huge pecs and an 8-pack, or Marissa Tomeis incrEDIBLE body.  My heart… be still.  44 years old and still rocking full frontal (ahem… piercings, natch!) with no cause for shame.   Incredible.img_11

The first act may be the most BRUTAL piece of cinema I’ve ever seen.  It broke me.   Incredible.

In Pi, Mr. Aronofsky shot a large amount of the scenes from the front of the characters… in this, he shoots almost everything from the back.   Absolutely gorgeous.  Chilling.  Incredible.

Movie of the year?  I’d accept an argument for such.

Rating: 9.7/10

Bonus: Bruce Springsteen – The Wrestler
