I love Mickey Rourke “hey mickey he’s so fine he’s so fine he blow my mind hey mickey.. hey hey mickey” ssssorry.  Anyway, I think every movie he’s been since his hollywood comeback has been superb.  He’s a badass on screen and from what I hear, a totally nice guy.  Here’s some news via themovieblog regarding his possible pay check for the upcoming Iron Man 2:

A couple of weeks ago we heard the word that Marvel had approached Mickey Rourke about playing a villain in the upcoming Iron Man 2. We all, collectively, LOVED the idea especially after seeing him return in The Wrestler.

The word on the street right now is that Marvel has offered Rourke $250k to play the part. Remember… that’s an amount of money it would take most of us 5-7 years to make kind of coin. And Rourke will probably have to work, at most, about 15-20 days for it.

Also keep in mind that 18 months ago Rourke was basically an outcast from Hollywood.

Now here’s the thing. Rourke has not come out and started bitching about the amount he’s been offered (to the best of my knowledge) and I hope it stays that way. I hope Rourke continues to show some humility and remembers what the last 10 years have been like and just appreciated the opportunity to be back in the spotlight again. I’ve been cheering for Mickey to make a comeback the last few years and I would hate it if he suddenly developed some sort of sense of entitlement again. That would turn me off.

Some people are talking about how Marvel is being cheap. Me, I kind of appreciate a new studio trying to make the money that flies at actors a little less insane and be a little more financially responsible in theese crazy economic times where people are losing their jobs and homes.

But like I said… keep it in perspective before we jump on the “the studio is being cheap” bandwagon. They offered Mickey Rourke, in my estimation, $12,500 A DAY to get to star in one of the most anticipated movies coming in the next couple of years. You won’t see me shedding any tears for him… and thankfully so far, I don’t see Rourke shedding any either.

Stay real Mickey!

What do I think? hmmm… well, I think Mickey deserves more, but like John Campea said on TMB he’s making a comeback and cant expect to be bank millions and requesting millions and being a bitch about it… He’s redeeming himself you know.  But, I cant help but think of the shit actors and actresses i.e. that black dude from Rush Hour.  His name eludes me at the moment.  He can request 50 mil and be horrible at what he does but Mickey who’s actually trying gets the snub?  People like Denzel Washington, have EVERY right to request more but that’s because they are amazing and they have a significant box office draw.  I just think that perhaps Marvel studios should possibly reconsider upping that amount a couple hundred dollarhairs… what do you think?

I mentioned last night that every Friday is Archie’s night.  Therefore, tomorrow, we will be getting wings at approx. 5:15pm just in time for happy hour.  If anyone is in the area and would like to join thee.  After that we’ll most likely shoot down to downtown Middletown for some more fun in the cold snow…. Shoot me an email! erockasire@yahoo.com

So… Watcha think about the new Street Fighter movie coming out?  Kristen Kreuk is damn hot… ohh…. KK (hehe).  I think I’m on the other end of the spectrum here when I saw, I thoroughly enjoyed the Street Fister movie with JCVD (Jean Claudde Van Damme).  Add to that, I really would’ve liked to see a sequel from that.  But then again, I’m the person that liked the Mario Bros. movie, and Double Dragon… Mark Dacascos (Only The Strong) is my hero!   Nevertheless, I give unto thee a new poster for the upcoming streest fiester flim via firstshowing:

Thoughts?

Q: Is that Chinese dude Liu Kang from the Mortal Kombat movies?

So, just a quick thought.  I love buffalo wings… I love them i love them i love them!! If any readers are close to Wallingford CT by any chance, I suggest you stop into a lil restaraunt called Archie Moore’s.  They serve the most wonderful wings in the world and myself and some friends often frequent the rest. on a weekly basis.  That is, every friday we are there, and sometimes on saturday for a wingy lunch, and sometimes Sunday. 

Order suggestion:

2 people – 28 wings with extra bleu cheese and 2 Bud Lights each

3 peeps – 63 wings with extra bleu cheese and 2 Bud Lights each

Here is the website for the menu:  Archie Moore’s

If any of you gang are in the area and ended up going there… Shoot me an email or a comment on the boards and we’ll meet up or something.

Erick want wingy

Seems as though Juddy Apatowy is moving to the horror genre, thanks to mania for this scarrrryyyy news:

It seems that the writing team of Bill Hader and Judd Apatow (Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express) may be taking the plunge into the world of horror films. While talking to CHUD, Hader revealed that he has a slasher script penned alongside “Saturday Night Live” writer Simon Rich and producer-director Judd Apatow has expressed interest in seeing Hader run around attempting to escape a gruesome death.

I don’t know if it’s even going to get made,’ Hader told me. ‘Judd met with us and said “I want to do a horror movie with you. I want to see you in a slasher movie.”‘

Which horror films influenced the slasher script for Hader?

‘It’s partially Straw Dogs meets Halloween meets Home Alone meets Monster Squad.’

I hate horror… I really don’t like horror movies in the least.  But, if you can get some of the sweet comedy that Judd Apatow pours from his loins onto the big screen and add to that some blood and scary moments… Perhaps we’ll get Scary Movie… or, Scary Movie 2… or Scary Movie 3…. or Scary Movie 4 (you know, the one with the gigantic ipod and a smokin hot Anna Faris) Wait, maybe they should call it Scary Movie 5? Or Superscary? Or Scary Old Virgin? Or Scaring Sarah Marshall? Any Scary Thoughts?

HOW DO YOU WORK THIS THING!!!! I decided to post some shit.  I’ve been feeling like one of those really cool porn sites that you frequent and then all of a sudden they stop posting and you’re left… well… you know hehe!.

Let’s get back into the swing of things with this little bit of tiddy from themovieblog:

While such a decision seems to suggest that the effects-laden film won’t be ready, or that the studio lacks confidence in the film, Sony insists that’s not the case. Sony’s head of international distribution, Rory Bruer, insists that the film would have been ready for its July release date. But the studio felt they had a very strong summer slate with “Angels and Demons” on May 15, and the Denzel Washington, John Travolta thriller “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” on June 12. They also have the international distribution rights to “Terminator: Salvation,” so when it comes to the big bucks of the blockbuster season, they’re all set.

I’m heavily saddened by this news.  This is one… of not many films from 2009 that I’ve been highly anticipating.  Seems it’ll be pushed back til Thxgiving.  That’s ok… I’ll just be sitting in the seat… pooping and throwing up on myself from eating too much.  And a tryptofan high will surely pull a premium one week before race wars… WONT IT TED!!!
