Well deserved indeed. Good to see he still has it.

i`ve never seen a good movie that this guy has been in. I don`t understand why people thought he was good to begin with. He mumbles and his facial expressions are so fake. I refuse to go along with pop media and say that he`s good when he clearly isn`t.

Out of all the performances, I thought it was pretty clear that Sean Penn`s performance eclipsed the belabored and, at times, tedious job Rourke did. Aronofsky is a pretty good director for visionary pieces, but this guy didn`t do much acting throughout the movie. He played a washed-up broke has-been who is basically ignored or hated. . . guess what guys, he wasn`t acting much since that`s pretty much his life these days.

Also, where was Richard Jenkins for his role in The Visitor?

^ Seriously, not to be too off topic, but who will play the next Joker? First Jack Nicholson(not counting the TV show, we`re talking movies) and his greatness, then Heath Ledger with his amazing performance(in my opinion at least), who comes next?

I`m sorry, I just don`t see Mickey Rourke as the next Joker. Mickey is too much of a tough guy, and that`s not the Joker`s character. He fiendishly intelligent, diabolical, and funny in a twisted way, all at once. I`d love to hear some serious picks for the next Joker.

I remember watching a Van Damme movie as a kid and routing for the bad guy, played by Mickey Rourke... forgot what the movie was called, I think it also had Dennis Rodman in it

^^ RepostPolice,

I wouldn`t count on it, Rourke was reportedly offered only $250,000 for the part in Iron Man 2 by Marvel. Which gives you a hint as to why Terrence Howard is off the list for the 2nd movie too.

Here`s a link.

^h0ser. Barfly, Sin City, Spun are probably a few of his better films, and I`ve always had a soft spot for Rumble fish (granted he did mumble his way through for the most part, but I guess it`s one of those films that left a strong impression during my earlier years - bit like The Warriors or The Wanderers)...and i`d be the first to admit that a large portion of his films were fucking horrible.

Nevertheless, his role in The Wrestler, I thought (which probably doesn`t say much) was great. I don`t think it`s as straight forward as "washed up actor, plays washed up wrestler". And bias aside, the man did a fine job, whether he acted or drew from his life, is not the point - he fell into the role perfectly.

Anyway, this is all trivial - the Academy/Golden Globe awards have been a fucking joke for sometime (Rocky beating Taxi driver for best picture says it all). But by "well deserved", I really do hope it gives his career a boost... it seems that through all his shitty roles, there is quite a bit of talent there - just waiting for the right part.

I`m pretty sure he can portray the joker just fine, he wont have to give the character a whole new look. He`s just gotta copy Heath. Give a guy enough money and I`m sure he could do just about anything. Audiences will either love it or hate it so might as well give him a shot. Nobody expected Heath to give the performance of his career when he was the Joker...but he fuckin ruled!!! GIVE MICKEY A CHANCE!
By the way watch this clip, he`s not all "Mr. Tough Guy"

I thought the wrestler was pretty good, slow at times, but interesting enough to keep you from doing something else. I just really hated the ending.. no closure.

Here`s hoping the Joker never gets cast ever again.
