I went to see Sin City on Friday. All I can say is
Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke!!!
I liked everybody else too and liked the movie enough to want to see it again already but Mickey ruled. I used to like Mickey years ago and then something happened that made him repellent to me so I stopped paying attention. I knew he had gotten knocked around in a failed re-entry into boxing and had really bad plastic surgery and the next time I noticed him was in The Rainmaker but it took a while to figure out who he was (I momentarily thought he was John Cassavetes until I remembered he was dead). So his performance in Sin City has been a bit of a revelation. When he first came on screen my instinct was to think that he had taken the whole plastic surgery thing a bit too far and then realized it was, you know, makeup. You never know these days.
This isn't really porn, but it tried.
