Calling It A Night

2009-02-24T02:16:00.003-05:00

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to let ya'll know that not much is happening in the world of Rourke. Heather is returning home Tuesday night - from Los Angeles and we'll be back on www.uniquelyrourke.com - Wednesday.

Heather went to several Oscar parties and a private party Mickey had at a undisclosed venue. He was a gracious host. And you will be able to read - what I am talking about - in a couple of days.

Many of you are asking how Mickey is doing after not getting the Oscar. Well, Mickey is doing GREAT!!! He firmly believes he will be back in the race next year and I have no doubt he means what he says.

I also want THANK all our uniquelyrourke site visitors for making this detour for the last several days and for all the Guest Book comment/Blog Comments. Heather is going to get crackin' on putting site visitors words - up on uniquelyrourke as soon as possible.

Wow, this is an early morning for me. I live on the east coast - but have been keeping west coast hours. Holy shit, I'm I tired... :)

BTW - there are new photos up at MickeyRourkeWallsGallery

Mickey Paid Tribute .....

2009-02-23T03:21:00.001-05:00

to Loki on the Red Carpet At the Oscars :

Mickey Rourke paid tribute to his dead dog LOKI at by wearing a small photo of the Chihuahua on a pendant around his neck.
The little pet died last week (ends20Feb09), and the Oscar nominee called her, "The love of my life," whenever he was asked about the necklace on the red carpet.
He said, "She left me at a time where, after 18 years, she knew I'd be alright.
"It's bittersweet because I said to myself, 'I'd rather have Loki another two years than an Oscar' and I told her that, but she stayed here as long as she could."
On the red carpet at the Oscars, Rourke revealed he had planned to bring Loki to the ceremony as his date - and had even bought her a fitted tuxedo.

More News........

2009-02-21T22:27:00.003-05:00

"The Wrestler" pummelled its opponents at the Spirit Awards on Saturday, winning three awards, including best feature at the independent film world's equivalent of the Oscars.

The film's star, Mickey Rourke, won the male lead race for his comeback title role as a washed-up fighter. French camerawoman Maryse Alberti won the cinematography prize for her work on the film.

Rourke, a Hollywood bad-boy whose career flat-lined years ago before his resurrection in "The Wrestler," basked in the limelight as he received his award to a partial standing ovation underneath a marquee on Santa Monica beach.

After kissing the film's director, Darren Aronofsky, on the lips, the 56-year-old actor launched into a meandering speech in which he recalled being arrested by the local police a decade ago, urged Hollywood to give his friend Eric Roberts another shot, and fought back tears as he paid tribute to his recently deceased Chihuahua dog Loki.

For his part, Aronofsky told reporters backstage that he hoped to work with Rourke again.

Mickey Steals The Show!!

2009-02-21T20:47:00.002-05:00

MICKEY ROURKE added to his award season haul and stole the show at the 2009 Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday (21Feb09) with a hilarious and rambling acceptance speech.
A starstudded crowd at the Santa Monica, California ceremony gave the actor a standing ovation when he stepped onstage to collect the Best Male prize for his role as a washed-up grappler in The Wrestler.
During his speech, he dedicated the award to his beloved pet dog Loki, who died this week (15Feb); threatened to beat up comedian Rainn Wilson, who had impersonated him in an earlier skit; forgot the name of his The Wrestler co-star Marisa Tomei; and broke his microphone.
He said, "That little blond dude who did that thing (Wilson), I'm going to beat your ass when I get out of here... I've got thousands of letters about my dog that died six days ago. Loki, Loki, this is for you baby."
And he needed help from the audience when he forgot to thank Tomei, who played a stripper in the film. He said, "My memory ain't that good. I want to thank....." and paused, prompting the crowd to yell "Marisa". He responded by saying, "Melissa? Marisa? Marisa Tomei. She had to do all this bare-a**ed. Not many girls can climb the poll. She climbed the poll and she did it well."
The Wrestler also lifted the Best Feature award and the Best Cinematography prize for Maryse Alberti. Publish Post

Heather called me when she landed in LA. It was only for a few minutes - she had to go get settled in at her digs (tell ya more bout that later) and met up with some folks.

Rourke'S MOJO

What better way to express one's individuality - than through fashion. And that's just what Mickey does and has been doing since he first hit the scene. He has never been one to cater to what is trendy. He likes - what he likes and that's the way it's going down in his world. Personally, I never gave a shit what he wore. However, this attitude comes from a chick - who at one time wore nothing but, black, shopped in vintage clothes stores, wore earring made out of the tops of beer cans and had bold pink highlights throughout my hair. While those days are behind me - I still got my on thang going on. And so does Mickey. He is looking SMASHIN' these days. His stylist Michael Fisher, gives you the scope on Mickey's latest look via an article in the LA TIMES :

Mickey Rourke, the sartorial 'Wrestler'

By Mark Olsen

If this year's award season has seemed like an endless parade of trophies for "Slumdog Millionaire" and Kate Winslet, then there has remained one rather tantalizing bit of suspense for dedicated kudo watchers: What will Mickey Rourke wear next? ¶ The actor, working the award circuit in support of his unexpected comeback role in "The Wrestler," had been a sartorial riot of textures and patterns and colors, mixing and matching pieces with a fearlessness paralleled only by his astonishing performance. With his mussy hair, sunglasses and ubiquitous hip-dangling chain, he still evokes the outlaw danger of his biker past, while his penchant for open-necked shirts, unbuttoned cuffs and oversized, slightly undone neckties exudes an air of disheveled elegance. Consider the look something like a luxury hobo or a dandy gone to seed. READ

UK Connection

Our friend Katie had the opportunity to attend the February 9th taping of Johnathan Ross. She wrote about her impressions of Mickey's appearance on the show.

So That's How Ya Do It

2009-02-19T03:46:00.003-05:00

I'm really going to bed after this. I had to finish up some mail - when this came my way.

Emergency-medical specialist Doug Bowen of West Chester has done many things in his line of work, which takes him to movie and TV shoots. For example, Bowen was behind the scenes, medical kit in hand, on the MTV men-behaving-badly series Jackass.

But teaching someone to feign a near-fatal heart attack?

For the movie The Wrestler, which shot scenes a year ago at New Alhambra Arena in South Philly, Bowen instructed star Mickey Rourke on the classic symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, numbness and tingling in the jaw, shoulder and arm, plus nausea and vomiting.

Rourke, up for an Oscar on Sunday for his bravura turn as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, employed a mixture of vanilla wafers and ginger ale for the more obvious symptoms, Bowen says. Rourke collapsed for the cameras about a dozen times before director Darren Aronofsky was satisfied. Bowen turns up in the background as a medic.

You've Landed In The Right Realm

2009-02-19T02:01:00.002-05:00

Hey Everyone,

I hope you didn't have any problems clicking over here. Heather and I, appreciate you taking a detour for the next few days.

Later today - I've got some news about the Oscars via an insider. This person gave me some insight on how & why (some) Academy members vote the way they do. While he/she - was giving me the lowdown - it was as though he/she was describing a political election.. for example the Presidency. In the way, that folks get all pissed off if a 3rd & 4th party become involved in the election. It splits the votes . Alright, since I've already filled you in on some of the process - heres the deal : It's between Mickey Rourke & Sean Penn, however, this person has spoken to some older Academy members - who are voting for Frank Langella (Frost/Nixion) , hence the spliting of the votes for Best Actor, which means, we (couldd) be looking at a tight race. Let me tell how engrossed people have become in this Best Actor race - fivethirtyeight is a site created by Nate Silver( a policitcal pollster). During the elections he used his knowledge of baseball sabermeterics - to predict the outcome of elections. He's good. Anywho. LaShane called me tonight to let me know about fivethrityeight, taking a shot at choosing the a winner. Of couse they make sure to let you know - it's for entertaining purposes only. I bet they won't be saying that shit if some of their chooses win... If you are curious just click the link fivethirtyeight

You may see Heather's name down at the bottom of the blog. We ran into a problem. For some reason my account isn't working and we didn't have time to fool with it.

I'm off...

Interesting, very, very interesting!

2007-01-19T21:59:00.000-05:00

yes I am back from the dead..lol! naw, Ive just been up to my eyeballs revamping our website! What a challenge, to say the least.
Not to pat myself on the back, but I must say it looks badass! I couldnt have done it without Stephys input. That poor chick listened to me try to work things out so I could understand them for a whole year. Im sure she is glad she doesnt have to listen to any of that anymore (snicker, snicker).

Hmm, what else has been happening? Not surprising, those select few (2) have been throwing out wild, unsubstantiated allegations of Stephy, I and another close friend of ours who runs a fabulous Rourke Wallpaper website, of hacking into her websites and Myspaces. At least thats the word on the street. Silly is a good word that comes to mind, along with immature, idiotic and shallow.

What surprises me the most...no surprise isnt a good word, nothing surprises me about those 2 anymore.. LOL!!!!! Apparently they are trying to run some sort of campaign to try and discredit us or something. Funny though, Ive been told by eye witneses its rather comical the behaviorial patterns people are picking up on and finally noticing about these 2. Stephy calls them Tunas, as do many other people now, kind of a fitting nickname, wouldnt you agree? lmfao
These people that informed me of it, say that, whenever we do something with our website, Myspace page, or our friend with the wallpaper website changes something with her site, the tunas run around bellowing and pointing the finger at us and her about how we hacked the tunas sites, or we said this or that, or we are doing this or that. Coincidental? Nope, I think not, and neither do most of you emailing me.

What do I do about it, nothing really, mostly laugh. I know the truth will come out. People off kilter do demonstrate certain perrsonality traits and like I said, behavioral patterns, and other people are taking notice.

I did contact my old family friend in Chicago. He stated that this whole blasphemy is called internet harrassement. Also, since we have proof of their visiting habits and proof of doctored emails...as in emails of ours that one of them doctored to fit her own needs and purposes, is akin to forgery. I was surprised at that one, email forgery? Yep, you bet. Its a real crime.
I may as well throw in here, that supposedly they are irked I threw out thier isp carriers. Yes carriers. However it sounds as if they need a real lesson in ISP addresses and carriers, but I doubt they know they difference. Actually they dont, judging by the email I was sent. carriers and addresses are 2 different things, but I wont go into that. Im sure they will be scrambeling, searching for info. on that, now that Ive thrown it out here.

However their whole campaign against Stephy and myself, our friend with the wallpapers website, and our website is just silly as I stated before. I for one know, for a fact, I dont visit other Rourke websites or Myspace pages. With the exception of Lashanes Creations, her fabulous wallpaper website is beautiful. That is one website we are affiliated with and visit often. But others, nope. Here and there I will run across a few, but it isnt of the tuna persuasion.

Speaking of their Myspace alleged hacking nightmare. Everyone knows Myspace is constantly getting hacked into. Tom even sends out bulletins about it. The latest hacking craze on Myspace has affected pretty near everyone, so dont feel special tunas.
I sent out a bulletin to our Myspace friends and family, telling them of one of our many experiences with getting hacked into, and this is what Ive observed, along with Tom and countless others...but, since Im feeling nice tonight I figured if their allegations of a hacking nightmare are indeed true, Id give them something to read, and possibly they can fix their problem and stop pointing the finger. I know they dont have any record of me being on their sites, as I stated above, I dont visit them. Im not interested truth be told. No, thats not a diss or a slamming, however, Ive got alot better things to do with my time than sit around day and night surfing the internet. With my own successful business to run, I dont have the time nor energy.

Visit your Myspace page without being signed into it. Do it from a new window. When you view your profile without being signed into it, see if there is an Active X box that comes up. If there is, your profile has been hacked by the same people who hack everyone elses.
To get your profile back to normal....close that window and type in the Myspace address, ya know myspace.com, sign into your account and go to edit profile. In your about me section and the other sections, wherever you put code for, say, your background and things like that, look at it very closely. Go over every word of it. The hackers whom attack everyone on there, on a regular basis, slip code into and attach it to, say picture files, if a person has a movie, or a youtube thing posted, or whatever.
Remove any weird code you find.
Actually your best bet, is to remove everything on the profile and start over again(that is why its good to back up a copy of it on a disk, cuz this happens so much, and who wants to re-build a whole page anyway?)
It happened to me on my personal Myspace many times, and my personal Myspace page is privatized....

Also, if you are on Myspace and surfing around to your friends pages, and you get booted off, and get a sign in screen again, close that, open a new window, again type in myspace.com and go to the main sign in page.

I was once surfing a friends profile, got booted and the other sign in page came up. Wham, I didnt sign in at all, but my personal profile was hacked from just being on that fake/spoof sign in page. Also, always, always, always look at the top of your window in the address bar, on the left. Make double sure it says www.myspace.com. There are a growing number of spoof pages out there, where you dont look to verify the address and wham, the hackers have all your sign i information and then some.

Troublesome and time consuming, oh hell yes. The safest way to go while still enjoying Myspace? yes. A pain in the ass? yes.

Oh, and if you visit someones Myspace page and that active X box comes up, odds are your own profile is now hacked also. Who could forget, do not open suspicious bulletins about ringtones and just odd things that the person on your friends list wouldnt normally post. The hackers love to send out flakey bulletins.

All of the above information is easily accessible via Tom's Blog on Myspace. That is where I 1st read, studied and learned how to protect myself against the rampant hacking on Myspace. It seems as though its become a sport or something on there. But, its a free service and there are so many people on there, what can one expect?

I really hope, if the tunas are being honest in their hacking stories, that they at least take the above steps to protect themselves. Customizing a profile is hard work and a lot of time and energy. Nobody deserves a hacking nightmare, however, it happens to everyone on there.

REVAMPING COMPLETE ~ FINALLY

The Ducati Guy.....Mickey Rourke

2006-12-18T21:37:00.000-05:00

Ducati Special Guest: Mickey Rourke
18 December 2006

During a visit in Italy, the film star, Micky Rourke, protagonist of “Year of the Dragon”, “Nine and ½ Weeks”, “Angel Heart” and the recent success “Sin City”, (with the sequel “Sin City 2” coming out soon) came to visit the Ducati factory.

Rourke just had to take the opportunity to touch one of his greatest passions: Ducati motorcycles, famous all over the world as a symbol of Italian style and passion.

Rourke came in to Ducati with his much loved canine friend, Loki. This little likeable Chihuahua even got a Ducati T-Shirt. During his visit, Rourke visited the entire company and showed great appreciation for the historical models in the Ducati Museum, symbols of Ducati’s glorious racing history. Before leaving Borgo Panigale, Rourke visited Ducati Corse and hopped on Loris Capirossi’s Desmosedici to see what it felt like and he stopped in for a snack at the Desmo Bar to visit with some people who work on the production line.

This film star was friendly and always ready to be photographed and to sign autographs. When he saw the Hypermotard and the 1098 Superbike he was literally shocked by their beauty and as a real fan of Cafè Racer he can’t wait to try the elegant black Sport 1000.

New Movie...?????

2006-12-15T04:01:00.000-05:00

It's 3:45 am here on the east coast and my ass is still up.. I been working on the skinny among other things.. One of the other things was reading an aritcle ( The Independent UK) about Val Kilmer and much to my surprise, the article makes reference to one of Kilmer's upcoming film projects - where he portrays Mickey's brother.. I wish I had more info, but that's it...I checked out some sites to see if I could garner more info and found nothing. I decided to post the article ...cuz, its a good piece and I dig Kilmer - always have... Maybe now, I should go to bed..

Val Kilmer: No more Mr Bad Guy
He hasn't always enjoyed the best of reputations in Hollywood. It's all been a misunderstanding, he tells Lesley O'Toole
Published: 15 December 2006
"Please hire me again, Jerry Bruckheimer. Jerry, please." Val Kilmer is not entirely play-acting. Though spectacular in last year's hypnotic, noir-ish, crime thriller Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, he says the rush of admiration for his performance - and an electric double-act with Robert Downey Jr - has not translated to any perceptible career heat. He is thrilled, though, to be starring for Bruckheimer and his old Top Gun director Tony Scott in Déjà Vu, the sort of flashy action-drama that has become the domain of Scott, Bruckheimer, and Denzel Washington.

Twenty years ago Kilmer did not want to play second lead in Top Gun. Today, he has no qualms playing second fiddle to Washington, or third, even, after Jim Caviezel, who has a juicy role as a twisted patriot. As always, Kilmer steals scenes, obviously, if not perhaps deliberately. And he is equally obviously having fun, as evidenced in his playfulness on screen and his irresistible, joie de vivre in person.

"With a little break and some of these films I've done recently, I kind of feel like I've only just started. I really feel again that this is a fun job. I feel very excited about storytelling and life and acting right now. And I think that's because I took some time off. It's a hard business."

Kilmer knows this better than most. He has been the object of vitriol hurled from the mouths of Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, 1995) and John Frankenheimer (The Island of Dr Moreau, 1996). Yet today, he's a lamb. He also looks a thousand times better than his slightly doughy federal agent in Déjà Vu. Was the line already in the film about his character's having lost his looks? "Yeah, that was always there. You know, I started running round and training and all that stuff but I was hanging out with these FBI and DEA guys and they're just not like that. So I thought, 'I'll train on the next movie,' and started eating pasta."

He is still a very attractive man, who turns 47 on New Year's Eve, and is necessarily then a little more worn-looking than Top Gun's Iceman and, of course, Batman. He is also funny, confident, and immensely personable to boot, though he does have a tendency to talk 19 to the dozen.

"I really didn't take the business as seriously as a professional as I should have. We are all sensitive and I didn't realise just how sensitive we are. People like getting Christmas cards, you know."

Kilmer probably gets a lot of Christmas cards these days, at his remote (working) ranch outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. He clearly has a lot of friends in Hollywood (he is close to Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, for starters), as he always has. And if he has not enjoyed the career he might have, he admits it is as much due to his own decisions, as that reputation.

"You just don't turn down certain directors. You just don't. And I didn't realise how precious time is. I thought I could work with them again when I turned them down. I now realise I won't get another chance." Robert Altman and Francis Ford Coppola are just two.

"And I've turned down a lot of roles. The Insider is one. I don't regret that. And I turned down The Matrix, Laurence Fishburne's role."

Kilmer had worked with Déjà Vu's director Scott twice before, on the film that made him a movie star - 1986's Top Gun - and 1993's True Romance, in which he played Elvis. Kilmer is aware now that he owes him. "I didn't want to do Top Gun and I turned down a bunch of meetings with Tony. My agent was just torturing me, telling me, 'You're going to love him, he's a great guy,' so I went to meet him to get her off my back. So I meet him, listen to his deal, and then leave. As I pushed the button of the lift I heard this swooshing round the corner. The doors opened and Tony jumped in front of the lift and wouldn't let me leave. He went [now in a perfect Tony Scott impression], 'It's going to be great, man. There'll be jets and whooof! And I know you don't want to do it but your hair's going to be great!'"

Famously, Kilmer took the role and stardom followed. Two years later he made Willow, in which he co-starred with his wife-to-be, the British actress Joanne Whalley. They married in 1988, had two children - Mercedes, now 15, and Jack, 11 - and endured a difficult divorce in 1996.

He went on to do excellent work in the Nineties, in The Doors, Thunderheart, Tombstone and Heat. He also uses his profile for the benefit of the state he considers home, New Mexico. In 2002, Hollywood spent $3m filming in New Mexico, in 2006, $117m. "It's a very wonderful community for the United States, a tri-cultural Latino and Native American one. But there is extreme poverty, as in many Native American communities."

Kilmer says he also works for Habitat for Humanity, which aims to eliminate poverty housing. "I'm not a bad guy," he says at one point, in the resigned tone of one certain he will spend his immediate future having to prove it. "I'm very boring. I've never been in a fist-fight my whole life."

Kilmer insists Kiss Kiss Bang Bang did not readily translate into a slew of shiny, irresistible, offers. "I wish." It was not the first time Kilmer had been funny on film, but it seems to have re-ignited a long-dormant dream to laugh more. "It is so great to go to work and laugh all day long. Or all night long on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Most of it was shot at night, which is usually just exhausting but the sun would be coming up and I'd be upset because I just wanted to keep laughing."

Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr are actively looking for a comedy to make together, and I remind him of something he mentioned during an interview he gave in London last year. It was a Danny Boyle project about a period train heist that he mused might be something for the pair. "Yes!" Kilmer announces, excitedly. "One of the million Wilson brothers was going to do it. Or was it Hugh Grant? But thanks. I'm going to write another note to myself." He duly does so. "Danny Boyle is awfully good. I saw Shallow Grave when it came out and I wrote his name down then, like I am now."

Kilmer also has his own production company in Los Angeles. But his children also live there. His daughter Mercedes attends the same exclusive private school as one of Steven Spielberg's daughter, his son Jack one equally expensive and elite. "She just won the championship for debating here, which means she's the best arguer of all the kids in LA. I called the ex-wife and went, 'Look at the size of this trophy!' But then I realised all it's going to do is make her haughtier. She's 15 now so she's been arguing for 13 years and now she's got a trophy to prove it. She'll be like, 'Dad, I want a car.' And she'll probably point to the trophy and say, 'Don't make me prove it.'"

On his list of upcoming jobs are playing brothers with Mickey Rourke, a play and movie with high-school pal Kevin Spacey, a film about Mark Twain based on a biography he is writing, and a musical. But laughter is paramount. "I want Owen Wilson's life. I'd do nothing but comedies for the next five years if I could."

'Déjà Vu' opens today

"Please hire me again, Jerry Bruckheimer. Jerry, please." Val Kilmer is not entirely play-acting. Though spectacular in last year's hypnotic, noir-ish, crime thriller Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, he says the rush of admiration for his performance - and an electric double-act with Robert Downey Jr - has not translated to any perceptible career heat.

Today, he has no qualms playing second fiddle to Washington, or third, even, after Jim Caviezel, who has a juicy role as a twisted patriot. As always, Kilmer steals scenes, obviously, if not perhaps deliberately. And he is equally obviously having fun, as evidenced in his playfulness on screen and his irresistible, joie de vivre in person.

"With a little break and some of these films I've done recently, I kind of feel like I've only just started. I really feel again that this is a fun job. I feel very excited about storytelling and life and acting right now. And I think that's because I took some time off. It's a hard business."

Kilmer knows this better than most. He has been the object of vitriol hurled from the mouths of Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, 1995) and John Frankenheimer (The Island of Dr Moreau, 1996). Yet today, he's a lamb. He also looks a thousand times better than his slightly doughy federal agent in Déjà Vu. Was the line already in the film about his character's having lost his looks? "Yeah, that was always there. You know, I started running round and training and all that stuff but I was hanging out with these FBI and DEA guys and they're just not like that. So I thought, 'I'll train on the next movie,' and started eating pasta."

He is still a very attractive man, who turns 47 on New Year's Eve, and is necessarily then a little more worn-looking than Top Gun's Iceman and, of course, Batman. He is also funny, confident, and immensely personable to boot, though he does have a tendency to talk 19 to the dozen.

"I really didn't take the business as seriously as a professional as I should have. We are all sensitive and I didn't realise just how sensitive we are. People like getting Christmas cards, you know."

Kilmer probably gets a lot of Christmas cards these days, at his remote (working) ranch outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. He clearly has a lot of friends in Hollywood (he is close to Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, for starters), as he always has. And if he has not enjoyed the career he might have, he admits it is as much due to his own decisions, as that reputation.

"You just don't turn down certain directors. You just don't. And I didn't realise how precious time is. I thought I could work with them again when I turned them down. I now realise I won't get another chance." Robert Altman and Francis Ford Coppola are just two.

"And I've turned down a lot of roles. The Insider is one. I don't regret that. And I turned down The Matrix, Laurence Fishburne's role."

Kilmer had worked with Déjà Vu's director Scott twice before, on the film that made him a movie star - 1986's Top Gun - and 1993's True Romance, in which he played Elvis. Kilmer is aware now that he owes him. "I didn't want to do Top Gun and I turned down a bunch of meetings with Tony. My agent was just torturing me, telling me, 'You're going to love him, he's a great guy,' so I went to meet him to get her off my back. So I meet him, listen to his deal, and then leave. As I pushed the button of the lift I heard this swooshing round the corner. The doors opened and Tony jumped in front of the lift and wouldn't let me leave. He went [now in a perfect Tony Scott impression], 'It's going to be great, man. There'll be jets and whooof! And I know you don't want to do it but your hair's going to be great!'"

Famously, Kilmer took the role and stardom followed. Two years later he made Willow, in which he co-starred with his wife-to-be, the British actress Joanne Whalley. They married in 1988, had two children - Mercedes, now 15, and Jack, 11 - and endured a difficult divorce in 1996.

He went on to do excellent work in the Nineties, in The Doors, Thunderheart, Tombstone and Heat. He also uses his profile for the benefit of the state he considers home, New Mexico. In 2002, Hollywood spent $3m filming in New Mexico, in 2006, $117m. "It's a very wonderful community for the United States, a tri-cultural Latino and Native American one. But there is extreme poverty, as in many Native American communities."

Kilmer says he also works for Habitat for Humanity, which aims to eliminate poverty housing. "I'm not a bad guy," he says at one point, in the resigned tone of one certain he will spend his immediate future having to prove it. "I'm very boring. I've never been in a fist-fight my whole life."

Kilmer insists Kiss Kiss Bang Bang did not readily translate into a slew of shiny, irresistible, offers. "I wish." It was not the first time Kilmer had been funny on film, but it seems to have re-ignited a long-dormant dream to laugh more. "It is so great to go to work and laugh all day long. Or all night long on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Most of it was shot at night, which is usually just exhausting but the sun would be coming up and I'd be upset because I just wanted to keep laughing."

Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr are actively looking for a comedy to make together, and I remind him of something he mentioned during an interview he gave in London last year. It was a Danny Boyle project about a period train heist that he mused might be something for the pair. "Yes!" Kilmer announces, excitedly. "One of the million Wilson brothers was going to do it. Or was it Hugh Grant? But thanks. I'm going to write another note to myself." He duly does so. "Danny Boyle is awfully good. I saw Shallow Grave when it came out and I wrote his name down then, like I am now."

Kilmer also has his own production company in Los Angeles. But his children also live there. His daughter Mercedes attends the same exclusive private school as one of Steven Spielberg's daughter, his son Jack one equally expensive and elite. "She just won the championship for debating here, which means she's the best arguer of all the kids in LA. I called the ex-wife and went, 'Look at the size of this trophy!' But then I realised all it's going to do is make her haughtier. She's 15 now so she's been arguing for 13 years and now she's got a trophy to prove it. She'll be like, 'Dad, I want a car.' And she'll probably point to the trophy and say, 'Don't make me prove it.'"

On his list of upcoming jobs are playing brothers with Mickey Rourke, a play and movie with high-school pal Kevin Spacey, a film about Mark Twain based on a biography he is writing, and a musical. But laughter is paramount. "I want Owen Wilson's life. I'd do nothing but comedies for the next five years if I could."

'Déjà Vu' opens today

Sad Really

2006-11-28T01:09:00.000-05:00

I just read Stephys post below, and I have to say...Stephy is passionate, not hot tempered (wink, wink) but she speaks the truth. Many people may say alot of crap about us, but we have never deviated from what we believe in, the truth. The truth is a touchy thing, mostly because no one really wants to hear it. Either that, or they want a sugar coated version. Sugar coated isnt happening here, never has and nerver will. But judging from the feedback Steph and I recieve, people respect that about us and enjoy it.

And yes, some unscrupulous people did join our Myspace account and spread some kinda funky thing around. To those who are friends of Mickeys and to others. I guess someone had their pants down in the ole hacker/virus dept. of things, but then again, I dont think these poeple have brains enough to figure it out. They will now, since they and their friends are readers of this Blog. Good...fix your damn puter!! Sheesh, if you want to try and spy on us, at least have your computer in shape!

How did we get ISP addys may be a topic of hot convo...well Myspace tech help is a great thing, that is, when you can get thru the BS and make contact with someone real over there!! But, thankfully Myspace takes viruses and hackers very seriously Ive come to find out. YAY for Myspace in regards to that. We've also taken steps to retain people to track it for us, on top of that. So, I guess you could say we are working in tandem with Myspace on the issue. Mostly though, I feel bad for the people that have nothing to do with the one who has the messed up computer and is carrying this and speading it like a bad case of VD....yes, I mean Mickeys friends who contracted it from said person. They are not amused.

I agree with Steph, different strokes for different folks, or so the song says. At least there is a choice, and people have the freedom to make choices as to what websites and places on the web they are going to visit. No, we at UniquelyRourke are not into building an army nor demanding people choose us over any other website out there. Hey, come and go as ya please, we are not into running our website like some sort of cult, that would be ludacris and not to mention a bit whacked. We do what we do, like Ive said before...either ya like it or ya dont. Whichever way you feel is fine by us, but we are laid back like that..not type A personality types....ish, so not us.

Stephy calls me the diplomat..haha! She is something else! ;o)
Truth is Im just a laid back kind of person as always. Has this gotten under my skin or made me mad, or hypervenalative? Nope, not in the least. I point this out, only because I know as usual, when I check my email after I post this...it will soon be filled with the how dare they, dont let em getcha down, keep doing what your doing kind of emails. Those emails are so supportive and really are a breath of fresh air....but due to the high volume of them, I feel bad when I cant respond to each one in a timely manner....really though, thik about it this way from my perspective, there are bigger things in the world happening that are way more important than thinking about a tin can filled with smelly fish.

An All Time Low..Even For A Tuna...

2006-11-27T12:07:00.000-05:00

ON Nov. 19, I wrote a skinny, pertaining to the German Maxim Magazine. The jest of it was this.. Mickey poised for some photo's and did an interview. A couple of these photo's - included a beautiful woman who's name is Jen Pae..let me just say this woman is not only beautiful on the outside - she's also has a beautiful - inner self. She is a warm , funny, smart & a geninuely nice person. Sista' and I believe this is what pushed them to the edge.. A hot chick and her friendship with Mickey. A bit whacked.. Right?

Let me contine with the story of As The Tuna World Turns - : )
When the skinny was posted on the 19th we were slammed...with friend requests at myspace. As I previously stated, our profile has been privatized, due to all the problems we have had with the tunas aka other rourke sites. Anyway, they slid past us.. I guess you could say - it was my fault - they slipped by, however..they should have known we would find out and they should have known - when I found out I was going to call em' for the pathetic human beings they are -- We hadn't heard anything from them for weeks.. here we are thinking..Oh maybe they are gonna leave us alone..and go about their business...Sista' and I were like great. Everyone can do their own thing and move on.. OH NO.. they just couldn't let it go..

I don't know what the tuna's are like in real life, therefore I can' comment...but when it comes to Mickey Rourke - they will do anything to get next to him.. Even make-up a fake id.. too get close to his friends...my question is.. if they are this devious on a web site ..what does that say for them as human beings. The things Sista' and I have written about (the tunas) came from fans... Tuna's you need to realize - at times - your site visitors - didn't like the vindictive nature of your sites -

Needless to say, the moral support we have recieve has been tremendous.. We come from a good place..and good people can see that and good people can also spot JEALOUS and CRUELITY from a mile away...

AS for the tuna's and why they felt the need to use a fake id - to get on our site could be for numerous reason's. Their joining our myspace friends list on the very day of our skinny of Nov 19th is a dead give away or they could be pissed at what Sista' and I have written about them, but, whenever we wrote about them and their latest shennigans - we always had the facts to back it up.. Tuna's, since you need to know - the drill went something like this...whenever you wrote some kinda BS about us or Mickey - a fan would send it to us - the facts were in that email. We would never write something up if the facts weren't in front of me. Why the tuna's got pissed off at us - is something we never grasped. Clearly, the words were theirs and ....Sure we used those very words against them, but, only to prove - what they said about us or Mickey - wasn't true. Listen Tuna's - if a member of your group believes you are being unfair and unjust in your rambling's about us and Mickey - yes, in the past, your post were sent to us. And in all fairness, we had a right to defend ourselves against their allegations. Listen up tuna's - For Godsake's it only a damn web site and myspace. If we wanted you to join our private profile..we would have ventured over to your neck of the woods and sent you an add request.

Why the tuna's feel threatened is beyond my comprehension. We have never once felt threatened by them. Their downfall was thier continous untruths about us, Mickey and even former friends. Here's the deal Tuna's - you lied about us/others - at that moment - ya'll decided - ya'll wanted to take us on .. like another web site owner you ran off. Silly isn't it. The tuna's have turned this in to some kind of internet - OK Corral -Hello Tuna's. the bad guys lost or gave up. Let it go, we aren't going anywhere and this ain't the ole west.

This last fishing expedition of the tuna's all rested upon a virus that was traced back to them - that's how we found out they had slipped onto our myspace friends list. Yep, one of the tuna's - has a virus and the real kicker is ..not only did they give it to us, our friends - but they passed it to along to a friend of Mickey Rourke's. See when the tuna's -- were going to Mickey's friend's pages..checking them out - they left a lil' present (virus) for a couple of em'. Thank Goodness not all of em' got it & getting this info cost me some dough. How odd..was it to learn the tuna/tuna's were on our myspace and the way we found out - they were on myspace goes to show - what goes around comes around. You tuna's once again have egg - all over your face. A virus called you out. How did we find out..Well, we simply contacted myspace & another service...and the virus was traced. Its not like it was some kind of complicated virus. Just one of those myspace things.. We also have a tracking of all the days you were on our myspace ...and the dumbest thing you did..was read our myspace blog and click the link to our web site..DUH!!! It shows up ..HELLO!

This next surprise diddy is for them....it won't have much value for those reading this...
The records given to us - of our myspace account - shows your - isp address.. oh yeah, Cousin It.. if ya didn't know it.. you register as Stanford NC & Lemon Springs.. and we notice how you tried to hide your isp..DUH! it didn't work. I'll save you and the queen a lil' embarassment by not putting up the number's to your isp..but keep pushing me...

Nov 25 alltel.net... 3

On Sunday, Nov 26, we cleaned house on myspace...and no more tuna's...YAY!!!

If I come off harsh, well I just can't help it. I am a very intense chick, with a hot temper.... and I think the frustration associated is my trying to wrap my brain around their.... indecent obsession with Mickey Rourke - you would think it would be all they have done to us, but, no its just what I stated...and you know what- I'm not doing it anymore. It is pointless exercise, due to the fact, ...I can't think on that level of a twisted reality -- And now.. they have gone and spoiled it for all those Fans who are legit & who want to be a part of our myspace...these folks... will find it more difficult to join.. We made our myspace profile private for a reason. We only let those folks in ..who we think is gonna respect those who know Mickey and respect the rights of all who are on our site..

So, tuna's - we know the routine after you read one of our blogs or the skinny - you get on your sites and groups ..and tell everyone how horrible we are ..and how we are ruining your reputations..but the thing you need to do..as I've previously stated before,is go look in the mirror.. remember you just shit on Rourke fans and now a couple of long time friends of Mickey Rourke... and why .. cuz, you just couldn't take it .. your selfish and you think you deserve something more than you haven't earned. When are you gonna get it.. some people like our site and others like yours. We are different people and you're angry - that you've never been able to control us.... It really irrates the F#$k outta ya - that the very chicks - you guys treated like pieces of sh!t..are now running a pretty damn good Rourke site..(at least that is what we have been told)

Just think... if it weren't for that lil' ole virus.. we never would have known those tuna's were even on our myspace. Payback is a bitch !!!

ps.. camden .. I hope this satisfies you....

He's A Man - With A Plan...

2006-11-02T12:52:00.000-05:00

MICKEY ROURKE claims he has mellowed with age and now only uses physical violence as a last resort. The 50-year-old insists he now asks questions first and no longer jumps in with his fists. Rourke says, "The other day, there's some drunk guy giving me shit in a restaurant. "So I gave him the benefit of the doubt and I said to the waitress, 'I want you to watch this. If he touches me, I'm going to knock him right the fuck out.' And they got rid of him. "Whereas in the old days I would have just punched him in the mouth. "He was being really rude and obnoxious, but I'm now able to evaluate and see what the consequences are."

check out the December 2006 issue of Arena (UK) -- The article is called The Revenge of Mickey Rourke...Oh the fun I will have - trying to track this magazine down....here's a quote from that issue...

******Mickey Rourke has some choice words for Hollywood******
"It's not really about acting. It's about the publicity. It's about which idiot is going out with this one, which idiot had a baby. In real life, people have babies all the time it's no big . . . deal."

He Should Know.....

Matt Damon says that the person who gave him the best advice about Hollywood was Mickey Rourke. “He sat me down and said, ‘Don’t mouth off to people in Hollywood, like I did,’” Damon told Aussie magazine NW. Rourke continued: “You gotta be on time and disciplined. I [bleeping] blew it.”

Let Me Clairify Something

2006-10-20T17:23:00.000-04:00

I wanna thank those people who have kept us informed of the misleading info - being dished on message boards, groups etc. Most might think they are snitches etc... but basically, what they are doing - is saying enough is enough...I know when I belonged to a certain group this type of bashing and back stabbing was never permitted to happen. And that is what those folks remember. A time when this place was a good place. Now it's just full of hostile people who believe they are Gods of all thing Rourke.

Furthermore - when the topic of convo is us - you're damn right we wanna know. Only people who have something to hide - express their views in such a way. The Holier Than Thou Brigade - know us. In fact, when one of them started their site a few yrs ago and there was a lot turmoil about it - I gotta admit - she got hit hard - for starting her site - and you know what -I was there saying..Hey good for you! as was Sista' - OH how they forget. And now she has the gall - to do what- was done to her - to us. I still have the email I sent her. Telling her to hang in there.

As for the Queen.. I never trusted her and that is my right. Now for the worm..(at least I don't use this person's name - like he did us) believe it or not - we were friends a long time ago. We did the news together. At one time ( a couple of yrs ago) I was a co-moderator of one of his yahoo groups. I don't know what happened. All of a sudden - this person got a stick up his ass - and decided I was the enemy. I have no idea what set this person off..except maybe - someone filled this person's head with nonsense. What's strange is this person knows that I am a no BS kinda chick - so why he would think I'd lie is beyond me. The worm has seen me in action - defending people who were under attack by certain persons. I would write this person and say hey I'm sorry but that wasn't right what they did and he would be like - it didn't bother me - oh did I mention he was a co-moderator back in the day when the group I mentioned was run by him & another person. He was a great moderator. I wouldn't take that from him. Back in the day - he never would have tolerated this behaviour nor would he talk the way he does now. This person use to be a fair minded individual . I suppose hate does that to the best of em'

Now, the Queen is trying to cover her ass. This was just sent to me. I want to boldly state to all those who read this.. Sista' nor myself have ever contacted any of her friends. Only person we have contacted is the one is South Florida. She once again - LIES - Also we, have been told we tampered with their words. These people are the real deal. Like I've always said the truth is way too good...Strange how they wanna deny they wrote those things. This denial stuff was to be expected. I mean they come over here and read their words. Can you imagine - how dumb they must feel...

Some of the Queen's words - implying we emailed a few of her friends. certain friends of ours have been approached
by others. it was not appreciated and it took a few days to iron out the probs &
we simply do not want this to be repeated.

Here's another HAHA! kinda thing. They want their privacy. Oh but you can come over to our site and screw with us but - how dare we take you on. Sorry, we don't roll over and play dead.

We were again, slammed for speaking the names of people who - spoke to us on the record. Meaning there names appear on our site with permission. Are they the only ones we know.. Nope.. those remain nameless but, when you call some of Rourke's closest friends liars. Then you are gonna be sorry for it. Mickey's friends have been really good to us. Always, telling us what is true and what is Bullsh!t..
So the least we can do.. Is say wait a minute - They don't lie.

Have A Good Sunday

New Interview...

2006-10-20T09:34:00.000-04:00

Q&A

Living in Oblivion
Hollywood's bad boy emeritus talks about his ties to John Gotti, blowing his career, and the bitch who split his lip
By Jeb Reed

HUMBLE FISH Mickey Rourke is older and, after years of therapy, wiserThe first paragraph of any story written about Mickey Rourke since 1990 can be summarized in three words: He fucked up. The actor, whose raw, magnetic performances in films like Rumble Fish, Barfly, Diner, and Angel Heart once drew comparisons to Brando, knows this better than anyone. He fucked up. And he'll let you know it twenty times in the course of an hour. In those dark years, Rourke tormented directors and producers and led the kind of private life that would make your average Serbian gangster feel like a pansy. There were reports of drug abuse and domestic violence, and the constant company of strippers and lowlives—but mostly there were his ties to a criminal underworld most Hollywood actors only experience on camera. Rourke knew John Gotti well enough to attend his murder trial in 1992, but his only statement about their friendship until now has been "No comment." In an interview with Radar, Rourke, 50, finally opens up about the mob ties, tells us how he met his Chihuahua soul mate, and pinpoints the moment he realized he was completely insane.
RADAR: You've said your favorite among your films is The Pope of Greenwich Village. It's kind of like Little Italy's version of
Midnight Cowboy.
MICKEY ROURKE: We shot that back when there was actually a Little Italy. Which, you know, there really isn't anymore.

Since it's become a theme park?
Well, right. The Italians don't live there now. You can have a pizza, but that's about it. It was nice back then because you had all the old timers. Stuart [Rosenberg] was able to capture that ambiance using good old-time actors. Tony Musante and other guys. It was probably the most fun I've had on a movie.

Did you get to know the neighborhood pretty well?
Well, let's put it this way: I made certain associations with people. I met some really interesting, shady characters that I maintained relationships with until I went to therapy. But I don't want to get into that too much.

Understood. You've been very diligent about the therapy though, haven't you?
Yeah. It was something that I was totally against. But, Jesus, I needed to go. I knew I was a little out there, but I didn't realize my shit was crazy till my doctor told me. Listen, I changed. But there is still something inside of me that is never going to change. If those buttons are pushed, all hell is still going to break loose.

Since you returned to acting, there's lots of discussion about whether you're "reformed." Do you ever feel like people just want you to become a boring schlub?
People see that whatever-you-want-to-call-it in me and it scares a lot of them. But if I have that in me and I'm not putting my hand through someone's head, then they should chill the fuck out. The guys who are afraid are the ones who were around when I was just starting out. The younger directors like Rodriguez and Aronofsky that I'm working with now aren't afraid of it. I also just recently got offered a Tarantino movie that I didn't—that I chose not to do.

SLIPPING HER THE MICKEY Rourke has taken many loversAfter turning down Pulp Fiction, why did you pass up the opportunity to work with Tarantino on his latest project, Grindhouse?
You know what? He hasn't made any comments about it. And until he makes a comment about it, I'm not going to say anything. It just didn't work out. And I hope that's what he has to say. I'm just going to wait.
Do you still feel drawn to outlaw characters like Tupac?
Yeah. Tupac and I had a lot in common, even though we were very fucking different. You know, I don't come from the hip-hop world. But we both had a certain upbringing.

Have you heard about John Gotti's prison uniform? Somebody's giving it away in postage-stamp-sized squares.
So, I guess you know that we were friends. Is that right?

There's been speculation.
You know what? I had a relationship with John that was like—if I wanted to do research on that lifestyle, or whatever you want to call it, he was there for me. You know what I'm saying?

Sure.
I'll give you an example. We were watching a soccer game one time during the World Cup, and Italy and Ireland were playing. I said, "John"—because he, you know, liked to gamble—I said, "I'll take Ireland." And Italy was favored up the ass, right? But Ireland ended up winning the fucking game. And before that I said to John, "What do you want to bet? Ten grand? Whatever? Whatever you want to do." He says, "No, no. I'm never going to take your money. Let's bet watches." Right? I'll tell you something. His friends came over three weeks later and brought me the most beautiful fucking watch I've ever seen. Autographed, "To Mick, All the best. JG."

So he was a good friend?
Listen, I don't know what the fuck he did behind closed doors. But the fact that he goes, "I'm not gonna take your money"—see, because I was supposed to lose that fucking bet. I would have bought him a really nice watch, but it probably would have been $10,000 less than the one he bought me.

So that was part of your research?
What I'm trying to say to you is, back when I was a lot younger and doing Pope, I was very, very interested in that lifestyle. You know? Very curious about that whole world. He opened doors you don't fucking want to walk into. Let me tell you something, brother, it wasn't all roses.

It sounds like you got gored by Sammy the Bull.
[Long pause] No.

In any case, you had a Catholic background in common with those guys.
Yeah, I'm Irish and French.

The practicing Catholics I know are either traditionalists or they've had a religious experience. What's the draw for you?
It's changed a lot for me. I went to Catholic school for a few years with the nuns and all that stuff. It goes way deep in your brain when they crack you on the knuckles with a ruler. But there were times when my younger brother was very ill and he was supposed to die, and my grandmother told me what saint to pray to. Each time he was supposed to die, he ended up living. So it became something in my life that was very important to me. Every few years Joe would get sick and—bing!—it would be right back to the saint.

But that changed at some point?
He died a year and a half ago. That's why I say that stuff was a part of my life. I've had a hard time with my beliefs because of the way he died [cancer] and how he suffered. Having my kid brother die in my arms and just seeing the life go out of him, it was ... it was ... Joey was my younger brother. The way my mind works, your kid brother isn't supposed to die first.

Does the suffering in your own life incline you to reach out to the less fortunate?
The only thing I do in that area is work with rescued dogs in shelters, try and find them homes. Mainly Chihuahuas.

JAWS OF LIFE Mickey's canine support teamYou and Chihuahuas. What's the attraction?
I always had big dogs. Then my [ex-] wife brought home a Chihuahua. It had a cough that night. I remember going down to the kitchen and sleeping with the dog, holding her. I felt bad for her. Man, that was sixteen years ago, and I've had Chihuahuas ever since. Here's how I got my dog Jaws: I went down to the animal rescue place in L.A. They have all these dogs that they're going to put to sleep because they're all products of incest—fucked up that way. They're all violent bitches. I picked this dog up to look at him, and he bit me on the lip. There was blood all over the place and stuff—it needed stitches. Swollen out to here. Then I saw the name on the cage was Little Mickey. I couldn't believe it. I looked at him and said, "Motherfucker...." Then I turned to the lady and said, "I'll take him." What really got to me though ... he would sit in the chair across the room from my bed. All the other dogs would be in my bed and then about two in the morning, he would scream. I thought, What the fuck?
What do you think was the problem?
See, these damaged dogs—they're like people. I know damn well when I look in this dog's eyes that somebody abused him—beat the fuck out of this little guy for years. I know about that stuff from my own life. But he's not even that little. He's the most muscular Chihuahua you've ever seen.

Do you have him on 'roids?
No, but he looks like a mini pit bull. And he's got the biggest fucking teeth for a Chihuahua.

So the dogs are your support system?
I come home and I've got five dogs here, and they've all got different personalities. It's almost like I've got a—almost like five friends I come home to. I've lived alone for almost ten years, and it's really nice. As much as they need me, I need them.

One of your most famous roles is Henry Chinaski in Barfly. How was that film to make?
The director [Barbet Schroeder] was kind of an asshole, but the project was very interesting. Bukowski was on the set. I liked Charlie. Charlie was cool with me. I was never a Bukowski fanatic or anything. I did enjoy reading a few of his books, but, you know, it wasn't like he was Tennessee Williams to me.

TO LIVE AND CRY IN L.A. Underneath, the former tough guy is all heartBukowski and Williams were both big drinkers. You never were, right?
Well, no. My father died from drinking at 47 years old. His brothers died from drinking in their thirties and forties. My grandpa and his father in their late thirties. I didn't want to make a movie about anything having to do with drinking or glorifying it. The director kept chasing me around for 12 months, and I kept saying no. I just wasn't interested in the material. I didn't even know who Bukowski was, to tell you the truth. But I read a couple of his books, and when I didn't have a project I gave it some thought and ended up doing it.
Who was a better Chinaski—Matt Dillon in Factotum, or you?
I haven't seen that movie.

We should talk about Stormbreaker, this new kids' movie you're in....
Aw, God. Oh. I was afraid of that. Well, I can say, I liked being in London. It was almost like, Should I just hang out in London and raise hell, or should I go to work a couple days a week?

Make some money.
Exactly.

You play a billionaire in the mold of a James Bond villain. You dress in silk, walk with a very elegant cane, and keep a toothpick in your mouth. I'm guessing the toothpick was your touch?
I don't really work with wardrobe people—I like to do it myself. The toothpick I didn't remember till you brought it up. Yeah, I wanted the toothpick. And I'll tell you where the cane came from: Two weeks before the movie started, I had my appendix taken out, and I was really weak because they had to do it twice—

Take your appendix out twice? That sucks.
And I couldn't walk either. I was in the hospital, and I'm thinking, Aw, fuck, I've gotta go to work in two weeks. I started walking with a cane. Then I read the script and thought, Might as well keep it.

You were definitely the high point of the movie.
I knew before I did this movie that I was going to work with John Madden on Killshot [based on the Elmore Leonard novel]. I think that movie is the best work I've done for 15 years. Fucking guy is just incredible to work with. So I felt like it was okay to just have fun doing this other thing. But, I mean, I don't want to knock it. That would be Old Mickey.

Stormbreaker is now in theaters. Killshot is scheduled for a spring '07 release.

Merry Go Round..and round...and round

2006-10-19T00:07:00.000-04:00

After perusing the latest shenanigans that have made their way into my inbox one thought crosses my mind...Visit my post Merry Go Round...need I really say more? More wildly concocted threats hurled at our website, and at us. Some people really thrive on any kind of attention, even if it is in the negative sense. Mundane really, unless certain people enjoy living a life full of dramatics, because thats all they really have left to hold on to. What a sad and sorrowful exsistance, needing to hide behind a computer screen for false bravado and try to start something all because they have nothing better to do in their own life. Last I heard there are plenty of charitable organizations that are looking for help. That would certainly be time better spent. It may even earn that person some well needed good karma, cuz its widely known, this person has built up a whole boatload of bad karma, and when those old hens come home to roost, it's going to be quite the spectacle.

Tuna Drama... YAWN YAWN

2006-10-18T15:41:00.000-04:00

OMG! Here's the latest... We are in BIG trouble now... Yeah. Right. I guess they are sending the big guns ...ooh, we're soo scared. Get over yourselves - it's just a freakin' web site. You guys truly are a waste of breathe - but you are so funny -we can't resist. The stuff you guys say is beyond stupid. It's a good laugh and fans seem to enjoy it. HAHAHA! Hey, when you guys complain about us ..Aren't you off topic? Oh that right, as long as you talk about your Queen & how victimized she is ..then it's ok.

Hey Sista'- how many times does Mickey appear in 1941 ... Oh that's right- you don't have the time or the inclination to sit and watch frame by frame - to check out Mickey's every move... Hello, can you say stalker or is more like the -I wish I were Mickey Rourke Syndrome

Our mailboxes runneth over this morning... See what we have to deal with... Isn't it sad and pathetic... Will their immaturity ever cease. Oh by the way, what people send us - is public domain... myspace nor yahoo belongs to you... duh! At least we say it on a public forum so you losers( meaning the tuna's and the worm) can read it. The bold comments are from Sista' and myself... responding to all this dripple...

Here is the Queen words... As we have verified on many occassion's no one important has heard of her....least of all... MICKEY ROURKE
oh, i'm not that tough..
but i CAN cook.. ( maybe you have one redeeming quality )
i also don't stoop to low Gestapo ( you're calling us nazi's - I don't recall Sista'or myself, rounding up Jews (that was a primary use of the Gestapo) then torturing them or even killing them. Ahh, nor have we ever had a part in sending anyone to a concentration camp. You just stooped to the lowest level. what next we had a role in the assination of Martin Luther King Jr. You are so ignorant and selfish. to compare yourself to those who have suffered the worst things known to mankind. Shame on you...You narcissistic way of thinking - makes you look foolish..(btw) Duh! we are on the computer you dink. A tough way of practicing Gestapo tactics.) I tactics in order to get attention. (no attention grabbing is your department of expertise)
nor do i attack well-meaning people unnecessarily (Yeah, what's that ole saying - I bet you take the dishes outta the sink - before you squat to take a piss) that's stemmed from jealous insecurities and exclusive to those who are.
i am neither jealous or insecure. ( Wow... you really need to prove something don't you)but it has come to my attention that members of our forum are now
being quoted elsewhere! now THAT makes me (and Yahoo! Groups) angry!
( whatever. what you say - is public domain.. You don't own the group nor do you own myspace.Your a guest...as is everyone else. You're just pissed off and it shows.)
(for starters) .. i have been advised to let you all know. (who advised you- the 100's of professional know-it-all's that trust you.)
things are going to change and i assure you, what you say in this forum is sacred
and meant for sincere Mickey Rourke fans to share their thoughts with THE GROUP!
what is said about me, i don't care! but i WILL protect those of you who are here for (we've never talked about or posted anything about Mickey Rourke from your site.. Why - cuz, we don't have a tiger beat menatality)the right reasons from being done this way!
i don't broadcast published incorrect information i hear about constantly. i get alerts,
phone calls, emails from EVERYWHERE! ( excuse me - didn't you keep saying Nic Roeg was the director of Barfly and you quoted Mickey as saying Nic Roeg was a prick.Umm, if you didn't provide that info..then you better tell all those 100's of professionals you know -that they are giving you the wrong info )
(no down-time with my day job. i don't have the luxury of being that bored)(ahh, but you are bored. You spend way to much time worrying about what we are doing.)
also, i am simply not that mean and hateful regarding people i don't even know(oh yes you are - we've been shown - what you write about us and Mickey on your other sites - as many as you have - you are quite bored) who
don't know me in the least with the exception of what they have heard from others.(you so easily forget - we heard your voice - we know of you calling fans up to 15 times a day - talking all whacked out.)
(that has been doctored heavily or just made up as it goes along). i just don't operate that way. (You threatened both Sista'and myself a couple of years ago..We thought u were screwy then and we think U are still screwy )
but if i wanted to.. i could blow 1/2 dozen people clean out of the water. ( keep playing that victim card.. You're so good at it) i have GOBS (of horse crap)
of ammunition that will not be used on-line.( wow, more violence references - you have issues) there's a MUCH better place for that evidence.( yeah, your bathroom)(All this talk of violence. I thought you were Anti-Bush - anti-war & anti-violence.. See your true colors are showing)
(and have been BEGGED for months to use it by 100s .. several who are PROFESSIONALS
in this very field of expertise who still regard me and my word very highly)( That's only because they don't know U that well. ) some.. should be actors! ( Are those the same people quoting you in Australian magazines.)

websites that use up the majority of their space talking smack about
other people usually don't have too much else to contribute.

Ahh, Hey worm - why do you keep coming back to our site...if we don't say anything..why are you so interested. You're there morning , evening, late night, and inbetween. Do you have a life? Could someone be a lil' pissed that he got kicked off a particular friend's list. In the end.. We never publish - what other's say about Mickey Rourke. We only get what people send us about us. We just decided to start posting this because more people are asking about these folks and what proof did we have that they are talking about us. Here it is....

As you can see.. their elementry school - playground bully tactics are still in full swing. Grow up...Sista' and I stopped playing on the swings and the merry-go round years ago..

Here's the latest..Queenie is screaming - we are giving her free press over Mickey..No - we are calling you out as a liar. You've done nothing but lie about Mickey Rourke, his family and others. As for her saying she has been told about what we write.. Ahh, we have the proof she has been here at the Realm today - yesterday and beyond.. I'm telling ya.. all that horse manure is frying this broad's brain...

HAVE A GOOD ONE

Merry Go Round

2006-10-13T00:12:00.000-04:00

Its been brought to my attention that a select few individuals, who need to feel self important, have again started a bunch of crap with our website (uniquelyrourke) and our Myspace page. Hmmm, hate is a ugly emotion, it brings out the worst in people and fuels many irrational actions. Not many things get under my skin, and this latest attack hasnt either. Many ask why and how it does not get under my skin...my answer is always the same...consider the source it comes from, its stupid really. That response is always met with laughter, for its so true. Speaking of the truth, it is hard to swallow for some people. Thus, people spend countless hours scheming up ways to try and present their lies as truth. What wasted time, scurrying around, spending your life trying to convince others that your lie is a truth. Recruiting friends and family under false pretenses. Duping Mickey Rourke fans with concocted stories and falseities that are unfounded. When backed into a corner with the truth exposing your deceit, desperation ensues. A merry go round effect....so sad people just cant be honest, however, historically certain personality types and mental states just cant grasp the truth, preferring to exsist in a fantasy land/altered reality state instead.

It has also come to my attention, via fans who feel the need to send me things, that I am being called a liar in who I know and yada yada. I dont feel the need to crow about who I know, who I dont, nor make up tall tales in order to try to convince people otherwise. Those who know me, know that Im a straight shooter, tight lipped and extremley trustworthy. So no, Im not going to spout off in order to make myself look better about anybody who I converse with, email with, nor message back and fourth with. If I did, I would sink to a level that would be unacceptable to me as a person, and go against my *grain*. The proof is in the pudding, if you need proof, check out one of countless examples, the page on uniquelyrourke titled LA Woman. I do believe you will find sufficent evidence there.

Still yearning for more? LOL!! Ok, we'll, I did have an intense, enlightening conversation with a few people who are very close to Mickey when our web designers plate got too full. I was told, directly in my ear... Im so sorry to hear that about your web designer. Whatever you do, your website must stay up. That is the snippet from that particular very informative conversation that Im comfortable sharing. Again, Im not into blabbering and running my mouth about the people I speak with...if I did, I wouldnt expect them to speak with me anymore. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would feel the same way to be bluntly honest. Who likes a blabbermoth anyway? In all my years of working with, hanging out with celebrities, rock and rollers ect ect, one resounding theme is...dont go running your mouth about what they said or who you know, because that is the last time you will ever talk with or see them again. I respect their privacy, and I expect them to respect mine in return.

In retrospect I suppose this latest attempt at discrediting our websites, Steph and I and our myspace page should have gotten under my skin. Nope, not a chance. Why? We'll I said why earlier..lmfao....but, I also know this, Steph and I's credibility is iron clad with the people who do count. Not low lying, negative energy type of people.

I could go on and on about all the lies, hatred and negativity attached to these peoples latest limp wristed, trumped up scheme. But I wont bore everyone to tears here, because after all, we are all adults and cant deny the truth when its staring us in the face. Mickey Rourke fans, by my own observation, enjoy his outspokenness, blunt honesty and his integrity when it comes to his chosen family and long time friends. Along with his obvious acting talent. Remember what happened to Mickey when he spoke the truth about the sleazyness of Hollywood? How he got himself in hot water because he called a spade a spade? Hmm, not in any way, shape or form compare myself to Mickey, that would be ludicrious, however, looks like the same situation, just different players, with this current situation Steohy and I are enduring. Some people have such a problem with the truth. When in essence, the truth will set you free.

Thats all for tonight my friends! Again, I want to thank all of those whom have brought this silly situation to our attention. Its a sad day when people sit around scheming. Hate breeds hate, negativity breeds negativity, violence breeds violence.....I for one turn on the news and see enough of that. I surround myself with positive, honest, and genuine people who are who they say they are. And that is most of our friends and website visitors, and people I cant name here. I wouldnt name anyone in particular, you know who you are :)

Child's Play....

2006-10-12T18:50:00.000-04:00

I've been contemplating whether or not I should even right this blog, but I spoke to a very special person today - and he said do it. So here, I am - trying to figure out what to say and how to say it - so I don't look like a bitch. He told me Steph remain calm and do what you need to do and move on. Don't look back - cuz, when you deal with small minded, insecure, zealots there is no resonable outcome. You can't get people like that to understand honesty or convey to them that what they dois hurting others, simply because they don't care. Oops, I'm just rambling and didn't give you the latest 411...It's about uniquelyrourke, myspace and the ignorance of other's . To begin with, Sista' and I have based our site on the truth & an open door policy, meaning if something is brought to our attention - we contact the people who know Mickey Rourke and get try and get the inside dish. Sometimes we succeed & other times we are told you can't write about that and we are like fine..ok ..no biggie. That's the name of the game.

Our way of handling our site is up to us. If you don't like it - then leave it. Our topics are our own. For example, when it was brought to our attention that a person said they knew Mickey and was dating him. We know what we had to do to dispel that tired ole myth - Sista' and I called upon a person close friend of Mickey - we gave the dude the run down & the written info that was provided and asked him how we should deal with it. He said slam the hell outta her. She's lying. And you know what - Mickey's friend knew we would follow through cuz, that's just who we are - besides Wtf~ Mickey's people/friends know who we are . We keep in contact with them, by giving them the lowdown on what's going on...and present the info that has been sent to us. Apparently, our way of presenting the truth doesn't appeal to the tuna's.

Here's another incident - A couple of weeks ago, I slammed an individual pertaining to her lies about a certain journalist in South Florida. Some folks were sick of hearing her use his name all over the place and I was like screw it - I had written him a few months ago - asking for permission to use his article on our site. So, my ass send him an email about the situation - Poor Guy, he was perplexed by what I had told him. In fact, he thought it was a gag. Mind you - I never said anything about the crazy stuff she had said about her and this man's rumoured personal relationship...Sista' and I corresponded with him over the weekend and he flat out said - I don't know her...nor do I want to... He then went over to our site again and said we had a great site. Lie. No. It happened. The story doesn't end there... We have a profile on myspace. duh! uniquelyrourke - so we got sent this letter from one of the tuna's friends... her myspace name is just mona.

Believe me at first glance your page "appears" to be legit, but upon closer examination, it is pure BS! I don't believe one word of your allegations of "so-called-claims" by another Rourke fansite, simply because I happen to be smart enough to go back and look at all the archived postings by BOTH of your fansites and YOU are the ones who are the liars! I found NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE of any of your claims that others have said certain things or claims to know certain things and I will post bulletins informing all the people I can to check out the archives and make their own decisions about what crap you are trying to pull. I will also notify others to spread the word that your site may have started out to be true to Mr. Rourke but that now it is simply self involved and meaningless. You will be judged by the very people you are trying to impress.

Now here is the letter sent back by Sista'

We are not trying to impress anyone, just doing our own thing. We have valid, extensive, hardcore evidence of our, as you call them, claims. Very extensive. Nor are we trying to impress anyone at any time.
We didnt start anything with other Rourke sites, we work with what is given to us by fans pertaining to the matter of other Rourke sites. That evidence has been given to the appropriate people, one of which, you obviously are not.

As for your opinions, to each their own. Live and let live. We will not be threatened or bullied by anyone, and will continue to defend our site. When we opened shop, we were just doing and expressing what we wanted to in our own way. Then the crap started, of which, we didnt start. Anyone that is human would defened themselves against such an onslaught. As for judgement, they know where to find us.

In light of all your hostility, thank you for your email. We wish you well.

Oh I'm not finshed.. Yes, this person Just Mona..Sent messages to our friends on myspace. Funny thing is ..it didn't work. It backfired right in there face. Most people sent us the letter's and other deleted it. Thinkin' she was some kind of pyscho freak. I want to give you a sample of the letter sent to our friend AMBER - who thought it was the most silly thing she had read...

Hello, I am a fan of Mr. Rourke and I feel it necessary to let everyone know that I have gone back through archived postings by both UniquelyRourke and by the other fansites they are claiming to be at war with and found that UR is full of it! They claim that they are being attacked- I didn't find any attacks except by them, they claim that things have been stolen or used without permission, not so, the pictures clearly state "used with permission" and include 'thank yous' on some. They claim that others are reporting in postings that they "know" certain people close to Mr. Rourke and I find no such claims. I wonder where they are getting this information. I do know that they have people on the other sites to keep them informed of any and all new items. It is a disgrace to Mr. Rourke and the fine work he has done to try to keep other fans off the net with their own tributes to him.

I wanna just say - I don't get all of this. If your not quilty of lies - then why are you so hostile and pull such contemptable BS on us and other Rourke fans. I can't count the numberous times - I extended an opening for ya'll to write us directly, but no - you go through others because you are cowards. You can say whatever you want about us - but you know damn good and well - we have never contacted your friends or put called you derrogatory names. Yes, Sista' and I are aware of what you do call us on your personal sites.. Trash talkin whores and sluts. Oh this diddy - came to me - in my personal email..one such tuna - spoke of how she wanted to bash our heads in with a baseball bat and throw us in the river. Wow, that's a real lady like, considering all that those 2 do is talk about being ladies or Southern Belle's. What a crock.

Futhermore, these tuna's and their wormy counterparts have called the people we know - figments of our imagination - Just names we throw around to impress people...The people I am about to mention have spoken to us on the record...therefore, I don't feel like i am breaking a confidence by speaking about them - Here are the folks that the tuna's point their accusatory finger at ...The players of the liar's club : Mickey's Friends : Giuseppe Franco, Chuck Zito, Mickey friend E - David Unger, one of Mickey's Family memeber's, Paul (Sonny Barger's producer), Hell Angels -all of them LIE. What you have to ask yourself is - why do they talk to us and not to you. I'll tell you why- because we are straight up. Not perfect but we would never lie to em' & we ask not one thing from them.. When I don't have Mickey news.. I don't look to any of them to provide news..Oh wait - I forgot.. You even called Mickey a liar. I say this, due to the fact, you have said everything written by us is untrue. If you check the page on Giuseppe Franco - He states Mickey had read what Sista' wrote about the both of them . Franco's words were .. You made me and my brother very happy..his brother.. MICKEY ROURKE...
Bottom line - Our sources - are none of your business. We will never sell them out to prove a point..That's your problem not ours.

Other lies we have been accused of telling - The page myspace site's we designed for Mickey's Friends. HELLO!. We designed John Enos official myspace page - along with Mickey's friend E's page. Another lie - thrown on the fire to burn.

Ok so the letters didn't work - Let see - what did they do next -Go to www.myspace.com/cyruspaice - the site is run by the tuna's. Yes, they run alot of pretend Rourke site on myspace. Which is there right. but when you steal the copyrighted design from our site www.uniquelyrourke - and place it on the one I just mentioned. Them that makes you a theif. Oh did I mention they claim it the official site of Mickey Rourke. Ahh, trust me - Mickey Rourke would never steal from us. Why would he ..this shiot means nothing to him. REALLY. If any of you think it does - then you're delusional...

This all leads me to what was in my box today. This next post is geared toward us. Nothing has worked in the tuna's quest to defame us. We'd like to thank them for making us an important part of their lives..( Yeah right lol) anyway, I'll tell you why.. Cuz, it's irrelevant. Sista' and myself have said on plenty of occassions - the site doesn't own us nor do we think we are all that . Here's the extent of how I feel about MR & the site.. I am lucky to own and operate with my my kick ass friend Sista' - uniquelyrourke. Our vision was to do things our way. Like many other's in the world - we admire his work as an actor and his point of view about life. We work very hard but it's not the substance of our existance - meaning it doesn't define who we are ...

What else can I share... Oh this is good - You know you have pushed the envelope - when you go around saying - I can never have a happy birhday cuz, Mickey's brother died on the same die & it will never be the same....what does that say about you?.. obsessive - If it was this person's own family member.. I would say - sure I understand. In fact, I would never mention a word. Family is off limits. but to gain -some kind of sympathy and try to relate to Mickey's loss of his brother... Is Sick! Mickey , his family and Joe's friends - own that right - ..And anyone that doesn't have the balls to stand up and say hey wait.. you don't own that - is just as self-absorbing - as the person who said it...

I won't mention who wrote this tidbit. She'll know when she reads it...

To many people out there that just can't seem to print the
truth and go after the innocent!!!! ! So they can look human....reality
check here.....Human is not distroying people's lives!!!! To gain
hits!!!! Or to get on top!!!!

You may say..wtf! your name's aren't mentioned. The tuna's are the only ones, who believe that we do what - we do for hits and to get on the top. Time after - Time on the skinny.. I have said - our site is not for everyone.... Being on the top or hits ...don't mean a rat's ass to me or sista'. We have lives...

Where's the reality.. It's just a damn web site. None of us are out discovering the cure for cancer, AIDS, world hunger etc... None of this means anything to Sista' or myself. Family is our main concern. Not Mickey Rourke. I'm not on the puter everyday and neither is Sista'...Now if you are and that's what you like..well, good for you -but I say - get up from behind that puter and take a walk outside. Nothing like some fresh air to get a proper prespective.

Before I close, I liked to say .. Sorry.. for my rambling. I have been busy the last several days and I am operating on only a few hours of sleep. I'm exhausted- and trying to say what I need to say - without sounding like a complete dink..

Wait ..Promise one more thing - it's really ridiculous - Listen up - (lol)We don't want to be the only Rourke site in the whole wide world. Do you know how dumb that sounds. Ahh,if you don't then there is no help for you... ;)

Night Everyone - I'm about to fall over.. I'm sooo tired.

Peter Porn...

2006-09-20T14:29:00.000-04:00

If this shit is true, it would be kickin'

PETER PORN
09.20.06
By Devin Faraci
Contributing sources: The Style Council
My copy of Alan Moore and Melinda Gibbie’s kiddie porn comic Lost Girls, about the sex lives of Dorothy Gale of Oz, Alice (from Wonderland) and Wendy Darling of Neverland is on back order from Amazon. I was hoping that this book would serve as the final capstone in the “let’s reimagine our childhood characters in sexual ways” trend. I haven’t read the whole thing, but from what I have read Moore and Gibbie really get to the bottom of the psycho-sexual aspects of these characters, while also exploring the bounds of sexuality in their medium.

The trend does not end there, any more than deconstructing superheroes ended after Moore invented and perfected it in Watchmen: Larry Clark, the nation’s foremost creepy old man, is doing his own take on Peter Pan, called The Blood of Pan.

Clark spilled the beans to some blog called The Style Council and they describe it as such: “Imagine if Peter Pan had been a fucked-up teenage vagrant with a permanent hard-on [and] Wendy had been a cum-drenched junkie living in Brooklyn.” Imagined!

Ol’ Uncle Larry has been in New York doing some casting. “The script is very, very dark and it is very good, and I was just in New York talking to Mickey Rourke about playing Hook,” he told the blog. Mickey Rourke and Clark-brand underage hotties? Holy shit is this a magnificent recipe for disaster.

I tend to like Larry Clark’s movies more often than not, and I think that there’s nothing really wrong with his treatment of adolescent sexuality, even if his lingering camera can sometimes make you feel unclean. Still, this concept has been done to death – hell, even the last (excellent) live action version of Peter Pan addressed the story’s sexual element in a shockingly overt way. What will Larry Clark bring to the table besides the general sleaze? I guess I'll find out - the guy's movies are always worth seeing.

And hey, when are they going to give Clark a Harry Potter movie? It could be the first film ever based on slashfic.

Virgo, the astrological sign associated with The Virgin(umm, lmfao)...Virgos have a ruling planet of Mercury. Virgos are intellectually enquiring, methodical, studious and teachable. They have an excellent eye for detail, and genuinely inventive talents. They are trend setters, modest, yet hard workers. This being, according to some internet astrological websites, if your into that kinda thang.

Ok, now my turn to have fun!! :) Time for my other yearly blog...its my b-day and I can blog about whateva' the hell I want to!

For those of us who have stuck by our trio of sites (uniquelyrourke, uniquelyrourke at Myspace and The Realm) I want to thank you! Youve been witness to many things concerning Mr. Rourkes career, shenanigans and happenings. Youve also been witness to Stephy and I being viciously personally attacked by others who, for unknown reasons to us, choose to try to run us off the internet. For all the emails and telephone calls in support and encouragement to keep on going, thanks!. Aww, we never, ever thought of closing shop.The thought never crossed our minds really. We wont be run off by unethical, under handed, mean spirited, negative minded liars. No way, not now or ever. All Stephy and I ever did was to present Mickey in our own way, I suppose some people think they own Mickey Rourke(how tarded is that thought? hmm...whackooo) and want to be the only website or people running Mickey sites, Blogs or whatnot. Either way, I dont dwell on it, I choose to surround myself with higher energies, not low lying, negative energy drenced places.

FYI: There will be some major changes coming your way soon. I'm not letting the proverbial cat outta the bag, but keep those peepers peeled!

A positive note is this...Im back!! Yes, I havent been blogging much latley. Projects and construction have kept me busy.

One recent project was the revamping of Mickeys good friend John Enos III Official Myspace page. John Enos ring a bell? He co-starred with Mickey in Bullet(Lester The Molestor) F.T.W., and played Bobby on The Young And The Restless, did a hilarious episode of Sex And The City. John and his lovely wife Jennie were most generous in sharing with uniquelyrourke a few pictures of Mickey and Jennie at her B-day party awhile back. Working in tandem with John and Jennie was a real treat for me. They are some of the nicest, kindest, most genuine, down to earth people I have had the joy of blabbin' with and working with. John is a versitile actor with a long list of eye popping credentials under his belt. It's not often that Im impressed by people....after youve partied with the boys and girls of rock and roll, met the 1st Lady, The Dahli Lama and kicked it with the secret service, you could say that nothing much fazes me or makes a lasting impression. But these 2 people really did. No Im not blowing smoke up your ass, or theirs..just being bluntly honest, one of my trademarks, good or bad.

Ok so wtf I want to Blog about as my B-day Blog? Well, many things..the one that sticks out in my mind would be, Mickey in general. Mickey is Mickey, take him how he is or leave him, bottom line. To compound upon that, in my web travels, the resounding theme Ive read is this....women seem to think that they can *save* him. Save him from what I must wonder...himself? (scratches head and dosent quite understand that train of thought).Whats so bad about Mickey that women in particular would want to change? Hell, he caught your eye in the 1st place being himself... so whats the problem ladies? His manner of dress if also discussed in the same yawn fest convo's Ive read...hmm, I dont see anything wrong with it, in fact, I think hes a pretty snazzy dresser myself. But maybe these same chicks think going to the local Walmart is the ephiphanny of fashion...LOL!! yeah, ya wouldnt believe the weird stuff that people talk about in regards to Mickey...its pretty sad.

Another web travel convo caught my eye as well... men discussing Mickey. Ok, understandable, yet kinda funny. Most fellas want to be Mickey, or (gulp) with him..buhahahha...there was a recent skirmish on a to be un-named site about Mickeys recent thang of carrying, what was referred to as a man purse. HAHA..man purse..hmmm, is that like man panties? Or like having a mangina?

I saw the picture they were hotly debating, and it looked like a tote bag to me. Ya know, something to carry your crap around, not any man purse that I could see. Maybe somebody needs to get their vision prescription updated? HaHa!! Although I do seem to remember viewing some footage from awhile ago when Mickey was carrying a man purse. Hmm, well, if he was, ya know it was no Walmart freakin' man purse! least he did it with style and flair :)

Which comes to my next observation on this same site. Is Mickey swingin' from the other side of the rope? Now ya know I had a huge laugh when I read that...almost spit out my Guinness to be more precise! Who cares if he was...but no people, Id have to say a big N-O on that one!! Sure Mickey marches to the beat of a different drummer, but that does not, automatically mean he is goin' in the out door! Damn peeps, are ya that bored you have to discuss this? Carrying a man purse back in the day does not automatically mean hes ridin' dirty...sheesh!!!

I think thats it for now my pets.

LEAVE HIM BE

MICKEY Rourke isn't the indestructible tough guy he played in "Sin City," but he's not so warm and cuddly either. Rourke was having a meal at Macelleria in the West Village this week when a large man tried to shake his hand. "Mickey said no, leave me alone," said Macelleria's manager. "The guy wouldn't leave him alone and Mickey said, 'If he tries to shake my hand one more time, I will punch him'." The man was escorted out of the restaurant, but Rourke was so distracted he forgot to pay his bill, said a fellow diner. "It is no problem," said the manager. "He comes here all the time and always pays. Mickey is a good customer."

YAY!! Killshot Trailer

Stephen has been published in high brow places such as Rolling Stone, The Times, The Sunday Herald among others. The setting of the interview-- Cannes Film Festival 05'.

Stephen was kind enough to grant www.uniquelyrourke.com permission to post his interview with Mickey and share it with other Rourke fans.
OK, nuff' small talk, get your arse in gear and read that interview, it's badass!

Twisted Sista'

Mickey Speaks

2006-08-07T02:35:00.000-04:00

Now we all know that Mickey says whats on his mind. He's free-spirited and uninhibited in that aspect. That's part of the reason why so many people really dig him, least that's what his fans tell me in their emails. But then you get those who get all bent because he does say whats on his mind, yet they like his acting. I've stopped trying to figure out people a long time ago. LOL!

I've gotten alot of email, good and bad, about this quote from Mickey in the recent issue of OK Magazine, dated August 14th. I'm gonna share the quote, and if ya don't like it, we'll thats really your problem, not his, mine or anyone elses for that matter. drum roll please....
" I've never seen a play yet that can compete with a beautiful woman standing on a table in front of you. Don't tell me you'd rather hear an actor give a monologue than see a naked woman dance. Because I sure as hell wouldn't."

From a fella's point of view, I can see that..haha!! But reverse it from a chicks point of view, add a hot dude, and there ya go. Ever see those chicks go insane at the chip and dales male dancers shindings? But then again, you have those high and mighty folks who feed on self-imposed labels and call themselves intellectuals, that poo-poo thoughts of basic human instincts, and say...why no, I would much rather sit and listen to some monologue than feast on visual exctasy. Pffft, puritanical thinking aint my style, so Im not even going to try and fake it. Youd all be callin' my sorry azz out if I even tried...LOL!!

....hmmm, maybe you could find middle ground on that quote...how about this....a hot dude or chick, naked ( dont send me hate mail, Mickey said it, not me!) as he said, doing monologue? That would please all parties on either side of the fence. LOL...Stephy dosent call me the diplomat for nuthan' ;o) That way the so called intellectuals could hide under the umbrella of..oh, but he/she was doing such a fine monologue, and that dance just emphasized her/his point in such an artistic way I didn't even notice it was without clothing! No clothes you say?( gasp ) The peeps on the other side of the fence could just be themselves and enjoy what it is.

Either way Mickey often says whats on most peoples minds, but they are just too chicken shiot to say. Mickey isnt chicken to say it, then again, Ive yet to see a person go up to him and belittle him for something he has said or done. Now that my friends, Id pay to see. Is it the smartest thing to do? Maybe, maybe not, but at least he's honest and forthright about it. For that, you gotta give him credit, least he isnt the type of person to go around blowin smoke up your pooper.

He's Still Hangin' In......

2006-08-03T09:35:00.000-04:00

There are new pics of Mickey hanging at The Forge in Miami.. This should satisfy the requests for new pic and folks desire to know Mickey's whereabouts.
FYI - Ahhh, I don't mean to sound like a bitch..but I have no control over Rourke pix's - so just chill - ; )
www.wireimage.com - just type Mickey's name in the search engine.

Hack - Hack - Hacker

2006-08-01T05:26:00.000-04:00

Monday, July 31st was not a good day for Sista' and myself. Our site - uniquelyrourke - was down for several hours due to a hacker.. yep, everything was wiped out - but with the help of the folks at Tripod our site is back up and running. Who would do such a thing - well Sista' and I have our suspicions. Ya know -no matter how much we don't like someone - we would never tamper with the work they publish on their web site. If any of ya - have your own web site - you know all the hard work involved with running a site. That kind of malicious intent - has never crossed our minds.. Hell, we can play "war of the words" all day long and when you have the truth on your side...it makes things a lot easlier. The only way Sista' and I got through all this bullshiot is knowing that whoever did this will have to deal with the powers that be. Sista' and I believe in the ole saying - what goes around - comes around -it's all about karma. Although , karma works on it's on time , eventually it will bite ya on the ass. There is nothing more for us to do - except to carry on - and continue the site.
With that being said - we would like to say 'Thanks' to our friends - who lent their support to us -when they found out our site was down. These special folks - you know who you are - sent Sista' and I messages stating - that if there was anything they could do -to help get the site back up - let them know. It's great to have such kick ass friends...
In the end - no one dictates to us what or who we put on our site. As I've always written on the skinny - if you don't like the site - then click off.. Free will - is what it's all about.

I Have A Headache....

2006-07-23T12:10:00.000-04:00

Emails have been tricklin’ in steadily over the last few days. The content of the mails pertain to a photo of Mickey that appears on a certain site. The inquiries aren’t about Mickey per say but aobut the fella who is in the picture with him...the questions are similar - just worded differently - for instance - is he for real ( yes, he’s real) - where did he come from (LA) - did we know about him (we did)... Did I mention several of the visitors - sent me a copy of the pic..(lol) - This message is to the owner of the site - don’t get you panties all twisted...Sista’ and myself have known of this picture for several weeks.. in fact , KF informed us about a previous pic he had taken with Mickey . He didn’t offer either photo to us nor did we ask.. Lastly, let me state - this person who owns the picture - can give it to whomever he likes..and that picture will NEVER see the light of day on our site.. Anyway, when the emails started - I phoned Sista’ and gave her the lowdown on HairGod...We discussed how we were going to handle it cuz , we needed to respond to the people who took the time to write us - besides , .my ass ain’t sending separate emails, there are just to damn many.. So here I am - writing up the story - people are so curious about - personally Sista’ and I don’t think it’s that damn interesting.

His name is Keith Foti - he’s a stylist for Giuseppe Franco’s Salon - in Beverly Hills , Ca. And . He works on Mickey’s hair however when we first learned of KF - he wasn’t doing Mickey’s hair.

Here’s the goods on what led us to our learning about Mr. Foti in Jan 2006...
Last year - Sista’ paid another visit to Mr. Franco’s salon and wrote up a kickin’ article about her experience at the salon. Lil’ did we know - the link to the diddy’s she wrote - was picked up by several web sites that deal with providing info on salons or info on famous salon owners. Anyway, these 2 very nice ladies from Ohio emailed us - stating they were planning a trip to LA and via one of these web sites - they found Sista’s article and felt the salon would be a nice place to go...however , they were concerned - due to the fact - they had stumbled on to Mr. Foti’s site on myspace - by typing in Mr Franco’s name in a search engine - after checking it out - they were now apprehensive about going to the salon because, the profile had that whole LA vibe thing going - and they felt it implied that KF only worked on a certain type of chick’s hair. KF is total rock and roll.. And . If you're not familiar with that scene - then I’m sure it’s like a shock to your senses. Needless to say , after the visit to KF site - the ladies wanted to know - if what Sista’ wrote about Mr. Franco was true . They were referring to a particular passage in which , Sista’ had written - Mr. Franco had told her he didn’t care who you are -you’re welcomed in his salon. Needless to say , we had to mosey our ass over to KF’s myspace and have a look see for ourselves. We could understand - why these 2 ladies from Ohio-questioned the validity of Mr.Franco’s words therefore , we thought it might be a good idea to make KF aware of the fact - his name was popping when people were doing searches for Giuseppe Franco. There’s more to the story - but we aren’t going to share. Sorry.
Anyway, Sista’ and KF kept in touch on & off for a while - then one day he laid on her - that he ws now doing the color on Mickey’s hair. Eventually, he started cutting his hair & blah blah blah....

Ya we could have blabbed about all this on our site. KF’s info is public knowledge but , we had our own personal reason’s for not biting - also - we just didn’t feel the need to blow smoke up our site’s ass (hahaha)nor did we we want Mr. Franco to think we were trying to use his stylist , to get some kind of inside scoop on Mickey - in order , to make ourselves feel special. That's another reason - why - nothing KF has written about Mickey or any of his photo's of Mickey appear on our site.
Make no mistake - we understand it’s - good promotion for a celebrity stylist - to let people know who’s hair he/she is doing..That’s how they establish a name for themselves in the hair world.

Let's face it , Sista’ has spoken to the man himself. Giuseppe Franco. Who’s not only the owner of the salon but , one of Mickey’s closet friends. It’s just makes sense that Mickey goes to his salon - to get his hair done - when he’s in LA. Last I heard - Chuck Zito does the same thing. Listen , Giuesppe Franco has his own page on uniquelyrourke - everything written and all photo's - where done with his permission - along with a link to his site .

If we weren’t dealing with such unscrupulous people - all this would have laid low. Did I ever tell ya the story about one of them signing their own guest book using Giuseppe Franco’s name.

Ahhh, Mr. Franco doesn’t go around signing web site guestbooks..Thank goodness the webmaster noticed and took it down. Oh about the ladies , Sista’ emailed em’ back and told em’ they shouldn’t have problem at the salon and that Mr. Franco was genuine and meant what he said . We got a thank you email..but never heard from em’ again....

Now it’s time to go pop a couple of Tylenol... Ciao....

Pffft.. Get This -

2006-07-21T22:31:00.000-04:00

Howdy,

Well, we have no control over who visits our website but we do have some control over here at myspace. Here's the deal - for the last several weeks - a few of the people on our friends list - were harassed by those -annoying people who operate Rourke sites.. Yep, the ones we have been bitching about for the last couple of months.. these annoying people are harassing friends on our list, especailly, the folks who are our personal friends - therefore , we have had to make our profile private - what a crock of shit... we started our myspace profile - to promote www.uniquelyrourke.com - now it's turned ugly... we had considered shutting it down -then Sista' and I thought...No stinkin' way - although, we are tired of dealing with obessive Rourke fans - women who wanna have his baby , crotch shots ,claim they are marrying Mickey, dating him ,and one person - in particular states she wants to make pancakes or some shit like that for Mickey- See what we deal with - it's so CRAZY... it gives fans a bad name - We hope in the future we will be able to go back to the way things were.... we are crossing our fingers - that it's only temporary .
btw - those annoying people need to stop - sending bogus friend requests to uniquelyrourke and our friends... no ones biting..

Something New

2006-07-18T09:33:00.000-04:00

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let ya know there is a new article posted at http://www.uniquelyrourke.com/articles.htm
-- its called Mickey's Mission (UK July 2, 2006) He gives up a bit more of the events surrounding his life - for example - Mickey dishes out his verison of why he cut off the tip of his lil' finger (btw- this story has been around for a few yrs - this wasn't something made up by the press to make Mickey look bad...), Carre (he still loves her - but he isn't waiting around for her anymore), his brother Joe ( he lights a candle for him everyday and will for the rest of his life), and much more. It's a good read..

Later.....

2006-07-09T03:39:00.000-04:00

yeah, yeah, it's been awhile, or so the song says. Cut me some slack, I've had my nose to the grindstone working on a surprise for all of ya. A surprise you say? Yep, and don't try to bribe me for information, cuz my lips are sealed. You'll find out soon enough WTF I'm jawin' about and be pleasantly surprised.

As I was trolling around internet land I decided to pay a visit to Chuck Zito's site. Chuck is such a nice fella, a real old skool style hombre. Anyway, I was shocked to see he is parting ways with 2 of his toys. His bad ass 82 customized Corvette and his 57 customized Harley Davidson Chopper. The prices are not for the faint of heart, but if your couch cushions are more generous with coin than mine, go for it. I sure would. What's this got to do with Mickey Rourke? Chuck and Mickey go way back and are tight friends. Check out Chucks webby at

Hey, breathe heavy and shake it up a bit... the art of crank calling really lost it's shine when caller ID came about. Just kiddin'...we'll not about the late night ringing of my phone, which you can read about in Stephys new Skinny at our website...get comfy it's a long one!

Mickey Speaks......

2006-05-22T05:23:00.000-04:00

So Mickey was at DKYN event in New York and he did some talkin' ...YAY! Ahh, what you're gonna read is some comments bout Andy Garcia & why he is called Mickey... We will have more info bout this in the near future...cuz, we have known the story behind it for quite sometime..... but like we have told you before ....we can't disclose anything until....its ok... and yes, there will be a skinny... I have had some family issues...which has kind of slowed me down....so please hang tight.... Stephy

At the DKNY Jeans party at the 401 Projects Gallery in Manhattan, Mickey Rourke talked to Tattle's Baird Jones about actor Andy Garcia. It seems he used to be Garcia's baseball coach.

"He was a third baseman and a great clutch hitter," said Rourke. "I worked volunteer as the coach. We got along great. We won the state championship. Andy was a really natural player but he went on to play basketball instead of baseball, he liked that better."

As for himself, Rourke said his real name is Phillip. "Mickey is from Mickey Mouse."

More About Mr. Chows Opening In Tribeca

2006-05-21T03:09:00.000-04:00

Its a happenin' saturday night for me...lol...the usual excitement for me is the grocery store. Im waiting in that freakin' line that is slower than molasses in January...bleh. Im paging thru the May 22, 06 Edition of OK Magazine to pass the time, and see a pic of Mickey in there. Damn, he's everywhere these days! Good for him, he deserves to have a bit of fun.

Anyway, the blurb was about the Opening of Mr. Chows in the Tribeca neighborhood of NYC, who was there, what they had for grub yada, yada. For those of ya who are way nosey, this is what the magazine said they had.... champagne, lychee martinis and uncharacteristically for Mr. Chow's, where food is ordered family style, a buffet.

Ok....ummm, maybe Im showing my lack of oooh-lala here, but exactaly WTF does *served family style mean*? Growing up, to me, that meant dad saying ...holy man, holy ghost, the one who eats the fastest gets the most- followed by a free for all. Or, dad saying....over the lips and pass the gums, watch out gullet, here it comes....hmmm...somehow I just cant envision all those high brow celebs engaging in a throw down for who gets the most food, Mr Chow's or no Mr. Chow's, I just cant see it. Maybe Im missing something here...buhahhahaha!!!

Now I for one dunno wtf a lychee martini is, hell Id try it. Champagne? Always good....buffet? Too reminicent of a trough for me, but seeing as how it is Mr. Chow's, Im sure it was top notch all the way.

Mickey On VH-1

2006-04-30T01:43:00.000-04:00

There I was crashed out on the couch feelin' kinda punk this afternoon, flippin' thru the channels giving the clicker a heavy workout. I was about to change the channel to more mindles drivvle ( go figure a zillion channels and ya cant find one damn thing worth watching on television most days ) and I hear....up next, Mickey Rourke shows some crack. WTF, now my interest was peaked! Then they cut to commercial. Sheesh! I looked at the on screen menu thangy and I was on VH-1, a program called WebJunk-20, volume 4 - greatest hits.

After impatiently waiting for the program to continue, YAY! It finally came back on. Whats that old saying...hindsight is 20/20? Well I really wish I hadnt even heard the announcement after I saw what this show had to * report* about Mickey....they showed shots of him strollin' around the east village in NY with his faithful companion Loki...then they showed a shot of him facing away from the camera and theres his butt crack in plain view. Ding Ding...I mustve really been out there in TV wasteland to have found this wretched thang! Tehn of course they have those stoopid lookin' bubble things next to his head, like cartoon bubble speak things, with equally redundent blubs in them that Im sure some overpaid, untalented writer thought was witty. They went on to say something about Mickey forgetting his underwear, then more word vomit, until thankfully Mickeys lil' segment ( if ya wanna call it that ) was over.

Watching that, I thought to myself...how mean! What, just cuz Mickey goes commando, they gotta go and skewer him for it? Walking around in your daily travels, how many butt cracks do you see? PLENTY! Especially in the summer time when chicks got that muffin look happenin...oh ish! Are they showed to the world? No. Just cuz Mickey is a celebrity, they have to go and show that crap. Does Mickey being a celeb entitle them to do that? Well to me thats a moral issue. A manners issue as well. I suppose in this weird culture that we have, you could argue it either way. To me its pretty pathetic and sad really. Me? Ill be skipping that VH-1 program in the future.....Ya may ask, why did you write about it then? Lets see...some people may get off on seeing Mickeys crack....LOL...naw, really though, its what was on my mind good or bad...and by what was on my mind, I dont mean Mickeys crack...dayum peeps get that mind outta the gutter! I wrote about it cuz it ticked me off that peeps in general, not juz Mickey get picked on like that.

One good thing did come of all this though. I did meander over to a site called
ifilm, check it out here http://www.ifilm.com/ in the search box, type in Mickeys name, and you can see some interesting snippets such as....The Power Of The Pu*sy speech from Spun, A scene from the ground breaking film 9 1/2 Weeks, interviews with cast members from Sin City, the list goes on and on. Some of you may have seen whats on there already, some not. Either way, Mickey is always a treat on screen.

Mickey Rourke High And Low

2006-04-26T21:23:00.000-04:00

Hopefully ya clicked over to read the official press release that Stephy posted below, or just read what she plastered up there..LOL....either way, we have been getting slammed with inquiries about Christopher Heard's much anticiapted book. Rourke fans have been asking the most burning questions about the book..lol...but we can't tell ya anything unless we've been given permission from Christopher himself. That's the way Stephy and I operate, we aren't going to blow smoke up your ass, nor would we leak anything, thats just bad business practice no matter who you are dealing with. Wether a book, where Mickeys been, where he kicked it or with whom on any given night or whathaveyou.

I know, I know, sad but true. However, Stephy and I have been privy to more than a few exerpts from the book and we can tell you this....the book will be money well spent. If I am remembering correctly, the last book about Mickey was that now out of print Bart Mills book that still to this day pulls in some good coinage over on everyones favorite auction site... Ebay. Mickey High And Low, slated to come out August 28th 06, is interesting, fun to read and very informational. One of those books that you have a hard time putting down. Plus it's affordable, a big plus now that Mickey is back working regularly....and judging by the prices on anything Mickey, on Ebay, prices are steadily climbing....Bottom line, buy the book I doubt you'll be dissapointed.

It's avaliable for preorder at
http://www.amazon.com/gp/homepage.html/002-4473309-9356819 ( type in the name of the book...duh...tehhehehee)
http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?redirect=1

You can also check any other big online seller if you have a favorite you'd rather deal with. I cant list all the places here that it will be availible from because Id have a page full of freakin' links...LOL!!!!

Mickey High And Low

2006-04-21T20:57:00.000-04:00

We got the official press release yesterday..but haven't put it up on the skinny yet.. but this was just released from "the gate"... look for a skinny sometime tomorrow....if you copy and paste the link ..you will see the cover.. but Christopher emailed me and said this is not definite cover. Hey folks, you know how that shit goes.. most likely it is the cover... Stephy

http://www.thegate.ca/news/more.php?id=1179_0_1_0

Mickey Rourke has had a number of intense highs and depressing lows during his acting career. In the 80s and early 90s he was revered as one of Hollywood's coolest icons, but that only last until his lifestyle and hard drinking caught up with him. Since then he's been fighting to make his way back into the limelight, and he's certainly done very well for himself with recent appearances in films like Sin City or Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

Fans of the actor can now read the whole cautionary tale as told by The GATE's own Christopher Heard who will debut his book Mickey Rourke: High and Low this September 2006 from Plexus Publishing.

As described by the press release, High and Low features, "extensive interviews with Mickey himself, director Francis Ford Coppola and many others." Through these interviews Christopher exposes all of the layers and details that make Mickey the unforgettable star that he is today.

Here are just a few tidbits that you might not know about Mickey:

Sin City took in more than $80 million in the U.S. alone, and has helped introduce him to a new generation of cinema goers.

Mickey is set to return as Marv in Sin City 2, which is scheduled for release in 2006.

Mickey originally made a name for himself with the film Nine 1/2 Weeks, opposite Kim Basinger.

Mickey upcoming works include Killshot with Diane Lane, and Stormbreaker with Ewan McGregor.

Mickey's career is enjoying a renaissance as directors like Robert Rodriquez and Quentin Tarantino grew up on Mickey's films and now want to be associated with him, re-establishing his profile as one of the coolest actors around.

You can also read more about Mickey in Christopher's article Mickey Rourke Rising, plus look for Mickey Rourke: High and Low this September in book stores.

QT / RR

2006-03-26T19:25:00.000-05:00

Possible Look at QT's Grind House Script
Posted Mar 26th 2006 3:04PM by Martha Fischer
Filed under: Action & Adventure, RumorMonger, Scripts & Screenwriting, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez

One of AICN's legion of tipsters appears to have gotten his (or her) hands on a copy of Quentin Tarantino's screenplay for his half of Grind House, the retro-style collaboration with Robert Rodriguez - and, assuming that most sane people won't take the time to make up not only length (127 pages) but also cover art (in case you're wondering, it "features a muscle car with huge twin exhausts and a skull on the hood with some lightning bolts"), the write-up is pretty convincingly real.

According to the writer, QT's half of the film - entitled Death Proof - stars Mickey Rourke and stuntwoman Zoe Bell, and revolves around a guy named Stuntman Mike (that's Rourke) who, well, drives around in his kickass stunt car and kills people with it. Um, ok. If that idea appeals to you, go check out the write-up, because there are lots of spoilers therein. In general, however, the tipster wasn't particularly impressed by the script, describing the dialogue as "flat" and "not very clever" - not a good start for something from Tarantino, a man whose best work relies heavily on crackling writing. That said, however, there's reportedly a super-bloody car crash in the middle of the movie - will that get your asses in the seats?

Mickey Is A Hoot!!

2006-03-21T14:14:00.000-05:00

I'm in the bathtub last night paging thru some magazines that my mom gave me since I can't afford all those subscriptions and end up thumbing thru People Magazine March 20th, 06 Edition. Im lookin' at all the gowns the chicks wore to the Oscars, who's whispering in who's ear, ya know the usual. I turn the page and bust out laughing!! There is the same ole' picture of Mickey blabbin' with Madonna at the Vanity Fair party, with a caption on the piccy that says....... Fresh from the gym where " I was doing shoulders". Mickey Rourke caught up with Madonna. I was laughing so fuckin' hard I was snorting! Really!!! Why? I'll tell ya why, it's cuz ya read about all these stars, male and female, that go to the spa, get their hair done, nails, have someone wiping their asses, ya know, chrome the turd kinda thang. Then theres Mickey, who juz busts out and says he juz came from the gym. BUHAHAHAHHAA!!!! It just tickled my funny bone something bad. I mean, come on, only Mickey could get away with sayin..hey I just popped in here after workin' out at the gym. Who else could ya picture saying that? Damn, that was funny! To me, it shows he's a real maverick. He dosent seem like one who needs someone holding his hand, pimpin' and primpin' him. Nope, he just busts in with the typical Rourkeian bluntness. Either way it gave me a well needed laff!

Reading further into the whole Vanity Fair gala, it even said what they were chowing down on at the party..... mini- crab cakes ( barf, barf), In-N-Out burgers ( I'm drooling already), three-cheese pizzas ( depends on who made the pizza, hopefully not that CPK shiot ), smoked-salami blinis ( no idea wtf these things are, hey gimme a Guinness already for fucks sake!). I also read that there was 500 fewer people invited this year than in years past, to keep things exclusive. Yep, and Mickey made the cut! woot woot to that! Not surprising really, seems like historically Vanity Fair has always been good to Mickey, unlike other magazines.

We'll thats my lil' bathtub tale ;o) I was having so much fun reading that magazine I forgot to shave my friggin' legs...grrr..oh well, it's cold as a witches tit here, need some extra fuzz to keep me warm.

Just A Lil' Something.....

Can You Believe This?

2006-03-08T10:05:00.000-05:00

As an enthusiastic Mickey supporter Ive really seen alot of things. Some good, some not so good. The one resounding theme I have seen though, is this...Mickey doesn't take any crap from nobody. If someone disses him, steals from him, or is just acting like a complete asshole, he'll be the 1st to call em' out. It does seem like Mickey lives his life just being himself, doing what he does and keeping a stiff upper lip when people are trying to cut him off at the knees. What struck a chord in me was his ability to live honestly, freely, wth self respect and dignity, in the face of so many people trying to trip him up along the way. His tenacity to keep plugging away when things werent going so good. Ya gotta admire those qualities in people, wether it be Mickey Rourke or even the single mother or the homeless person on the street corner. Scratching your head and wondering how someone whos homeless can live with honestly, freedom and self respect? They can, they do their thang and do what they have to do to get by. Maybe they dont particularly like their situation, but hey, they're doin' what they have to do.

Anyway, obviously my friend Stephy and I (NLL chick) decided to combine our knowledge, huge Rourke memorabilia collections, and enthusiasm into a website and this Blog. What 1st started out as a tiny place on the internet has grown by leaps and bounds. Recently our website, uniquelyrourke.com, surpassed 10,000 hits...woot woot!! We wanted to take the time to thank you, our internet visitors for your continued support and friendship. You've stuck with us thru alot of road blocks, hardships, the good and the bad...everything! Without your support we would still be just a little spit spot on the pavement of the internet. We welcome and continue to appreciate everything, it means more to us than you can imagine.

Which brings me to this.....whats the old saying...a few bad apples? Yes we've encountered bushelfuls of them. More than you can fathom. Does it get us down, naw, just another hurdle we must overcome and work through. Frustrating? at times it can be, that is if you allow it to get under your skin. In the face of being personally attacked, lied about, stolen from and dissed out elsewhere on the internet, Stephy and I still persevere. Why? We'll no one is going to run us off all willy nilly like they did to other Rourke sites. Nope, we aren't the type of chicks to turn tail and run. We pride ourselves in our honesty, non-judgement, integrity and moral values. Are we thieves? Hell NO! Never have been, never will be. Our information comes verified by a few different sources before we put it to print. Who can believe someone who goes shooting off their mouth about something? With some lame brained, limp wrist excuse such as...oh you gotta believe me...I'm honest..bleh, bleh. Sounds like a scam to me. But then again, my mother didnt raise me to take things at face value. Maybe they are correct in their information, but me being me, Im not much of a gambler.

In conclusion, Stephy and I would like to thank all the *good apples* out there. Who've supprted us thru our growing pains as a website. We are sure to experience more than a few in the near future when we add more pages to our website and we count on your continued support and patience...thank you! :) We will definitly make it worth the wait for you all. If your a loyal reader of this Blog and uniquelyrourke.com, you undoubtedly know that we have come under fire from a few select individuals who feel the need to rape our sites and go over them with a fine tooth comb. Looking for anything to post elsewhere on the internet. A thief is a thief no matter what part of the world you are from. Sadly enough, I guess some select people didn't retain the manners that their mother taught them, or should have. Why do they continually do this? We have no clue. Usually people of this stature operate out of hatred, anger and for their own selfish reasoning beyond which I can comprehend. For this reason, I'm giving out the thieves ISP names, in hopes of, we'll...for them to see, yes Stephy and I (and my attorney) can clearly see them and who they are. Did we ever thieve from you and repeatedly visit and rape your hard work? No. Did we ever spread lies about you? Nope, Never. Do we have a problem with you? Not in the least bit until the advent of the thieving came about. If the thieves want to contact me personally, they can. I have no problem with that. They know exactly who they are. Why is it so hard to swallow that we are doing our own thing by our own rules? Without further adu...here is the names of the ISP providers of the thieves....oops, note to everyone....No, Stephy and I don't look at everyones ISP address, fuck that, we arent into being big brother...pffft! Only those with curious visiting habits, and sometimes visit upwards of 20 times a day combing thru our site. Will this fuel they're fire?(why there is a fire in the 1st place, I haven't a clue...honestly I don't) Who knows. It's just pretty sad....as in...go do your own thing and quit worrying about us..sheesh. We don't mind them visiting our site, hell it's a free country, but when you thieve that's just tasteless. Maybe it's because we were previously associated with someone they had a problem with in the past. Again, who knows.

Mister Verizon Internet Services(east coast..yes I could name your state and city, but Im choosing to turn the other cheek and be nice)
Miss Sanford Internet aka Alltel.net(east coast again...and yes Im choosing to rise above the crap and be nice again..see above)

Angelina Jolie In Sin City Sequal? We'll see, and then some!

2006-03-04T03:32:00.000-05:00

Same ole song and dance peeps...I was in my usual Friday night Hotspot....the checkout line at the grocery store, stuck behind the person with 2 cart loads of food and 10 million coupons...yep, true to my nasty self I started flippin' thru the gossip mags and came across a lil thang in the lates issue of Star ( I think Ive become a pro at scanning for info...rotflmfao) Anyway...this weeks lil thang goes sumthan' like this. Theres a big ole' spread on the latest bout the Pitt-Jolie bump blah blah, and a lil blurb jumps off the page at me....." Angelina will need to be back in fighting form by fall if she takes a role in director Robert Rodriguez's Sin City Sequel, which, the source says, she's been offered but has not yet accepted." For the record it was saying that she was bitchin' bout gettin' heavy while she's preggers. (scratching my head and wondering...wtf did she think was gonna happen when she got pregnant? Pose for a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar?...duh! Im sure she'll have the luxury of a personal trainer and all that stuff once she has the child, as does every starlet it seems. Sorry, no sympathy here on that one, ya want that go look in the dictionary, it's listed between shit and syphillis..pffft) We'll that's tonights lil tidbit :)

As long as we are talking Sin City, ya may have noticed I added the video to Johnny Cash's *Hurt* song on here. Ive been meaning to blab about this for awhile now but have been too darn buzy. For those of you who arent in the know, it was rumored that during the filming of Sin City that Mickey repeatedly listened to this particular song to get into the groove of Marv...that you could hear him coming on set, cuz you'd hear that song playin'.....As ya well know I cut my teeth on the Man In Black, lived and breathed him actually and have almost every record, 8 track, cassette and CD he put out. (Pops was a huge fan, as well as Elvis, but who's parents werent into Elvis back in the day? lol) Anyway, Hurt is such a powerful, heart wrenching song. Stop and actually listen to the words, rather than enjoying it as a musical piece. It's sad as hell, yet a great love story at the same time(no the original didnt give me that impression at all...lol, but Mr. Cash's version did)Yes it's a remake, but only Johnny could do it the way he did it, and put his own personal spin on it, to improve upon it. To go off here for a moment....I recently saw the movie Walk The Line bout his life....we'll I absolutley hated it(sorry peeps). It really could have been done alot better in my opinion. If your doin' a flick on someones life friggin' story, why not include the whole life, and/or major stepping stones, not just what the brainiacs in Hollyweird ( said with extreme sarcasm)thinks audiences want to see. Johnny had such a amazing life and they barely scratched the surface. And to be off beat/rhythem during Ring Of Fire, that is just unexplainable. And the whole Prision concert scene....sheesh, were the producers afraid they were going to offend someone? Bleh.....total word vomit. I do commend the main players in the movie though, its gotta be tough to emulate yourself into people as legendary as Johnny Cash and June Carter, but at least be accurate with timing and rhythem for fucks sake....then again, maybe this movie wasnt made for accuracy, maybe it was made to just feed money into the whole Hollyweird machine. Ok, rant over...lmfao.....enjoy the song...stop and listen to the song, feel the song coursing thru your veins. Close your eyes and be a passenger on the journey that Johnny openly invites you on. You'll have a totally different outlook of the song, and maybe get a different aspect/outlook on Marv in a round about way.

Workin' On Bikes With Mickey Rourke!

2006-02-27T23:26:00.000-05:00

Here is the press junket about Chuck Zito's new long awaited television show – For once I don’t need to run my fuckin' yap.. I will let Chuck do the talking ....We at uniquelyrourke think Chuck kicks ass!! He is one of the original old skool boys and we are proud to call Chuck our friend.!!!

ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS AND ACTOR, BODYGUARD, EX-HELLS ANGEL CHUCK ZITO, UNITE TO DEVELOP A SERIES TITLED "CHUCK ZITO’S RODS, BODS & BIKES"

Los Angeles, California – February xx, 2006 – He’s been the President of the New York chapter of the Hells Angels Nomads, a Golden Gloves boxer, a stuntman for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, a regular on HBO’s "Oz," Has made numerous guest appearances on the Howard Stern show, was involved with the World Championship Wrestling, a martial arts expert and all-around tough guy. And now Chuck Zito is creating a television show, in collaboration with Original Productions CEO and Executive Producer, Thom Beers. The project, tentatively titled "Rods, Bods & Bikes," draws on Zito’s life growing up in the rough-and-tumble streets of the Bronx and Brooklyn, and Beers’ experiences creating and producing such hit shows as "Monster Garage," "Monster House" and "The Deadliest Catch." Plans are for each episode to originate from a recreation of Zito’s New Rochelle garage, where he might customize motorcycles and cars, train for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, spar with professional boxers and swap snacks, stories and memories with his show business compatriots – such as Angelina Jolie, Howard Stern, Charlie Sheen, Cher, Pamela Anderson,Sylvester Stallone, Tony Danza, Liza Minnelli or Zito’s longtime friend and tattooing disciple, Sean Penn, who wrote the introduction to Chuck’s autobiography "Street Justice"….and quotes Penn as saying,.."So it is now more than ever that we need our original thinkers, our poets, upstarts, and indeed, depending upon your own definition, our outlaws. And it is in that spirit that we should celebrate this very American life that Chuck Zito shares with us on these pages. Chuck is my friend. He has been for over twenty years. I’ve never known him to be anything less than completely honest, direct, and bold"…

Pamela Anderson, says, "Somehow, being a very dear, close friend of Chuck Zito’s has made the world a safer place. He is the real deal. America’s bad boy."

Academy award winning director John Milius, says, "Chuck Zito is an American institution. We love our outlaws, yet he is also such a fine example of the old values that we used to live by: Honesty, courage, and personal integrity. I told him he should have his own talk show or run for congress."

Charlie Sheen heard about Chuck’s upcoming show and says…" I can’t wait to be a guest on the show. It will be the ultimate show. As real and as truthful as the man himself."

Mike Piazza, says Chuck’s show will be the World Series of shows, without a doubt a grand slam, Can’t wait to talk about Rods, Bods and Bikes, especially the Bods!

Former longest reigning World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, Bruno Sammartino says, Chuck is old school like myself, I suggest everyone watch it …or else!

There will be plenty to talk about, since Zito spent 25 years in the Hells Angels, Motorcycle Club, and then segued into a singular career in entertainment, providing security for, teaching martial arts to and putting tattoos on some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He’s also about to launch his new, unique martial arts training video, about dieting, weightlifting and mixed martial arts, called ". Chuck Zito’s Street Survival System."

Beers said that when he and other Original executives met Zito, they knew immediately that he deserved to be on television. ."He’s got this rare combination of gumption and morality that I haven’t seen before." Beers said…..I don’t think I’ve met anybody who’s so strong, yet so gentle, so angry, yet so calm. I know he’s a character the audience will just fall in love with. Like "Monster Garage," Chuck’s show is for individualists and free-spirits, and those who wish they were."" I’ve taken the best of all the talk shows, sports shows, and competition shows, without copying any of them " Zito says. "I might be training in the boxing ring, with Arturo Gatti, or going one on one with my Hollywood friends in the octagon, or working on motorcycles with Mickey Rourke and Michael Madsen, or changing a car motor with Dale Earnhardt Jr." It’ll be fun, different and completely original.""Rods, Bods & Bikes" marks the latest chapter in Zito’s singular career. The self-styled "Italian Bad Boy" was raised on New York’s meanest streets and grew up to be one of the dying breed of uncompromising men for whom justice and honor are paramount. Whether running the Hells Angels chapter in New York, or providing security for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Zito lives by rules of personal integrity, coupled with a take-no-prisoners view toward the rest of the world.

Some Of You Need To Let It Go!!!

2006-02-16T21:19:00.000-05:00

Whine! Whine! Whine! (lol) What's up with all this bullshit moaning and groaning going on about Mickey - not being recognized for his role - as Marv in Sin City...by some ass-hole performers , critics and whatever the fuk else kinda folks that comprise these "who gives a shit" award committee's ...Think about it - Most likely -a few of the same dipshits doing the nominating passed Mickey over years ago - did you really expect a turnaround in attitude so quickly...Damn, if this award stuff is important -he didn't go winless this year - he won a couple of fan awards and was praised by critics who choose to think outside the box. As far as I am concerned - Mickey didn't do to bad last year - And things are only gonna get better this year.

According to Mickey - he's been on the bench for years. He's happy to be back -getting movie offers and making some cash. I haven't heard Rourke pissing like a bitch - complaining -- Pooor Meee ...I didn't get any nominations - Here is my question - Why are some fans having a difficult time letting this nonsense about him not being nominated for an Oscar go! I wasn't upset about this oversight - cuz, I knew he wasn't going to get one and since my brother & Dad - left this plane of life....For me its kinda silly to get all pissed off over -- something so trivial and something I have no control over. Besides, do any of you know how Mickey feels about this whole awards (I am gonna get to that in a moment) - stuff... Which do you think is more important to Mickey Rourke - to win an inanimate object or being back in the game. Rourke has lost so much in his life - can't you just be happy he's digging his resurgence of popularity. Him winning an Oscar seems to be for the benefit of those bitching - and not about Rourke at all.

I recently spoke with someone - about how Mickey feels about the award games. Is it important? Does he think it will make him a better actor or get better roles? - If the truth be told -winning an award guarantees neither... Although it could bring in more moolah and that's a good thing - no matter who you are.

Anywho - Mickey response was more about the hollywood system but it still addressed awards - and that Mickey had once told this person - that he didn't care about awards or accolades only in how they relate to whether or not the film he made was the film he wanted to make. I want to say - for all I know his attitude may have changed - I can only work off what people tell me - we all know Mickey Rourke comments are like the wind - ya never know which way he's gonna blow on a particular day..(lol) but that's why we dig Mickey....

Don't take my comments the wrong way - I'm not saying its not a grand gesture - for you to want that for him...Maybe an award or nomination - in your mind- validates his acting skills - then you can back the words confirming his talent - by also saying 'Hey he won an Oscar' or you just wanna see him honored after he has been shit on for so many years... but to go all fucking ballistic is not ok. I can't take your comments seriously - if you're blowing unsubstantiated bullshit out of your ass. Mickey will get his due...I was chatting with another fella in LA - who is in the business of making movies -- we are yapping and playing Monday morning Quarterback..with Mickey's career..(haha)- The topic of convo was what I am ranting about now - award shit and we both came to the conclusion and opinion - Mickey's gonna have to have a break out role in an indie film. That sort of platform gives him the freedom to completely immerse himself in the character - where the director gives him no boundaries and he can manifest his talent - then Mickey Rourke will get his recongition from Hollywood. They won't be able to ignore him...

In the end, whether Mickey gets an award or not is very insignificant to me. He has made his mark. For years , to come, after watching one of his films -The Pope, Diner,Rumble Fish, Sin City or a film yet to be made....all the boys are still gonna wanna be Mickey Rourke -and all the girls are still going to want to be with someone that has a Mickey Rourke persona.. Perhaps a better example is music. It's like that kid listening to Led Zepplin,AC/DC,The Who or The Beatles for the first time - he/she knows they dig what they hear - the music then penatrates into every part of their body - its as though the music filters into their blood - their very soul and from that precise moment that kid know he/she wants to make music....talent transcends generations. What a legacy. And we the fans - who watched his life unfold - stood behind him - bad movies and all - we never swayed. We have always been proud to admire such a great talent. Let me ask you again...How important is that statueor nomination?

Here We Go Again

2006-02-05T02:13:00.000-05:00

Ya know, I am a very easy to get along with and work with person. Scads of peeps can attest to that. However, when someone is outright thieving from me, I dont take kindly to it. Yes, Ive been quiet for a bit, I took a lil' journey to a long time family friends place in chi-town the past couple of days. Why chi-town you ask? I was on a quest for knowledge. Hmm, Sista' goin' on a info quest? You bet you ass I did! And what info I gained, well I gained more but I wont bore ya all with the gory details. Besides that, the phone has been glued to my ear all day, contacting all the appropriate people.( who were pretty surprised to hear of another person attempting the same thing as sticky fingers...perhaps sticky fingers and habitual offender work in tandem). Another bad move habitual offender #2, you have no clue who is onto you, and now watching you dig your own grave.

My journey goes a lil' sumthan like this.....ya remember my post about sticky fingers? Seems theres another one runnin rampant right here in our very midst! yep, I would outright name this person, but Id rather give them one last chance. Another chance? Yes, I am a forgiving person and believe in giving peeps another chance even though I shouldnt sometimes.

After the long boring ass drive to chi-town, having to navigate chi-towns monsterous and confusing buildings, found me in the office of the attorney whom specializes in, among other things, a relativly new field. Internet Copyright Laws. When I advised him of Stephy and I's situation, provided him with long precise log records, visit lengths, times, basically pages and pages of evidence of habitual offender #2's visits/thievery to/from our site ( this also includes our sista' site uniquelyrourke.com ), he had to confer with a few of his partners and or associates. The next day ( after a wild night on the town..woohoo ) found me once again in his office. After what he told me and presented me with, I hired him on the spot ( not a hard choice seeing as how his and our family go way back. Pfft, ya need sumthan done, go to the best is my motto )...

As per Internet Copyright Law ( which everything written on this site is under copyright, as uniquelyrourke.com is, and if you took the time to read my intro/description here, its clearly posted ) nothing can be taken nor re-distributed without the authors permission, as per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. Yes, this copyright law holds true internationally, not only for the U.S. Works put on the internet are in fact considered published and you need express permission from said site owner to publish any and all materials written herein.

What can I do? We'll according to my attorney, I can sue in civil court if I was thus inclined. Also, to protect Stephy and I's rights, I can write to habitual offenders internet service provider and provide them with my lengthy detailed records. What happens from there you ask? Well, in regards to that part, I will leave you guessing. Nope, it isnt as simple, painless and cost effective as your ISP dropping you either. My attorney now is in possesion of the mountains of evidence I brought with me. And the growing pile I have here on my desk.

It really saddened me to go to such great lengths to enforce our copyright. But copyright infiringement is considered a very serious crime in todays world of everything web. My attorney advised me to post this, as a last chance legal notice, since I wasnt interested in pressing charges at this moment in time. I am just interested in getting habitual offender #2 to stop. Weirdly enough, habitual offender #2 and Stephy used to be tight. Now, habitual offender #2 goes over both this site and uniquelyrourke.com with a fine tooth comb, spending anywhere from 4 hours 29 minutes and 15 seconds to 15 hours 31 minutes and 1 second on our site. Weird, when does habitual offender #2 sleep, or have a life? Some peeps are possessed I guess.Maybe Darwins Theroy will prove itself true once again.

Stephy goes to thru a huge amount of time, energy and know-how to bring you up to date, up to the minute news and such for you Rourke Watchers out there. Hey, it turns her crank, plus with her many years in the business of entertainment and beyond, she has well established herself as a you can trust her with your life kinda chick. She has many * sexy shadows* that span the globe. (sexy shadow is code word for sources...lmfao...sources is such a over-used word...bleh). When she brings you the news, it is after lengthy telephone conversations, hours of emailing back and fourth etc etc. Many of her * sexy shadows* prefer to remain anonymous, because they could literally lose their jobs, or others just prefer her unique code names...rotflmfao...(hey I cant blame them in this crazy world) you get the drift. Plus its just bad taste to go throwin' peoples names out there that want to stay in the background.

As for me, I do what I do, nothing more nothing less. If I happen across something I throw it at Stephy so she can go thru her verification process, her *sexy shadows* and beyond. I have been very fortunate with peoples generosity with their time, energy, telephone time, and physical time spent with people who are close to the man everyone wants to know more about.

There you have it, my visit to chi-town. All in all it was a productive, very enjoyable visit. I learned alot and it opened my eyes to and ears to many, many things regarding Internet Copyright Law and various other issues surrounding the internet. Moral of the story, if you see something you want to re-post on your own website, message board, group thang, Blog, wether it be something someone wrote, a picture someone took the time to create, a poem, an article, just ask for permission first. It will prove to be less costly to you yourself at the end of the day.
I must say, since Stephy and I are into givin' credit where credit is due.....we'd like to personally thank our skads of website visitors, both Uniquelyrourke and this Blog, for taking the time to bring this issue to our attention. Obviously we keep to ourselves and would have never known this was happening until you let us know. It enabled us to gather what we needed and research our options. We cant thank you enough. We will repay you for your kindness, somehow, someway. ( I have a sneaky suspicion you should check your inbox really quick. Stephy has sent all of you that emailed us pertaining to this issue a confidential email, containing a tidit as she calls it, you will find NO where else at the moment. But Im sure the huge news will break one day. What day? I'm not lettin' the proverbial cat outta the bag! Thats our way of repaying you for your heads up). Beat cheeks to those inboxes peeps, youll get an eyefull :)

New Piccys Of Mickey In Miami

2006-01-12T13:50:00.000-05:00

For all you Mickey fanatics out there, I thought I'd letcha in on a lil' secret.....there are new piccys of him up at Getty Images (thanx Sista' Stephy...NLL chicky) http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/home/home.aspx
click Editorial, then in the search box type in his name and voila'!
The piccy was taken on January 11th, when he was leaving the Metro Lounge hotspot. As he was leaving he was snapped givin' a homeless person some scratch. How kewlies is that? As usual he was kickin' it old skool with a jean jacket, some blue jeans and those white shoes he seems to have an affinity for as of late.

I wish those nazzy peeps that write a bunch of crap bout Mickey would report on how giving he is with those down on their luck, instead of constantly spewing bad shiot bout him. Mickey has worked hard to change his reputation from the 80's and early 90's, cant peeps like the rag mag's give him a hand? They seem to with everyone else. What kind of contribution to humanity do those trash columnists ( I use the term columnist very loosely in this regard ) make anyway when all they do is write negative things about people?

A Win For Mickey!!

2006-01-10T11:30:00.000-05:00

If you don't already know.... Mickey has won the Chicago Film Critics Association Best Supporting Actor award.. He had some killer competition for expamle.. Matt Dillon Crash - Terrence Howard Crash - Donald Southerland Pride and Prejudice - Paul Giamatti Cinderella Man and Jake Gyllenhaal Brokeback Mountain. I should say this line up isn't to shabby. I just wanted to add I love the Chicago-Sun Times title in todays (Jan 10) entertainment section pertaining to the article written about last awards winners- I should say they did go against the majority... Here's to those critics who refused to play the game that so many other award committes play. At least they recognized there is other talent out there in Hollyweird.

"Chicago Film Critics go against the Grain"
The Chicago Film Critics Association on Monday named Paul Haggis' "Crash" as its top movie of 2005, beating out hugely acclaimed favorites "Brokeback Mountain," "Good Night, and Good Luck," "A History of Violence" and "Capote."

"Crash" -- which boasts an ensemble cast, including Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Sandra Bullock and Don Cheadle, examining the effects of racism in America -- also took one other award: best screenplay by Haggis and Bobby Moresco.

"[Sun-Times film critic] Roger Ebert's over-the-top enthusiasm for the film's quality and message had a great deal to do with providing us the impetus to award it best film," said Dan Gire, CFCA president. "On the other hand, it's an important movie addressing a very important topic that we don't talk about enough, and it's talked about, presented in such a wonderfully dramatized way that lets us see ourselves and society reflected in it."

In the best actor category, Philip Seymour Hoffman took the top prize for his virtuoso performance as writer Truman Capote in "Capote," beating out Terrence Howard for "Hustle & Flow," Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain," Joaquin Phoenix in "Walk the Line" and David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow in "Good Night, and Good Luck."

For best actress, Chicago stage veteran Joan Allen beat out Reese Witherspoon ("Walk the Line"), Felicity Huffman ("Transamerica"), Keira Knightley ("Pride and Prejudice") and Naomi Watts ("King Kong") for her portrayal of a mother and wife coping with a midlife crisis in "The Upside of Anger."

"Joan Allen was my pick from day one for best actress," Gire said. "She did three terrific jobs this year, in 'Off the Map,' 'Yes' and this film. But this performance just blew me away. And I'm just waiting for the first pundit to say we picked her just because she's from Steppenwolf ... that it's just hometown favoritism. That kind of scurrilous marginalization undermines the integrity of the award and the excellence of an actor's performance."

David Cronenberg was named best director of 2005 for his psychological drama "A History of Violence," while Maria Bello won best supporting actress for her role in that film. Mickey Rourke was picked as best supporting actor for his performance in Robert Rodriguez's cinematic comic book "Sin City."

Werner Herzog's "Grizzly Man" won best documentary, clawing its way past "March of the Penguins," "Murderball," "Mad Hot Ballroom" and "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room."

The Chicago Film Critics Association was created in 1988, and there are currently 61 voting members -- film critics from newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the Internet.

Other CFCA awards for 2005 include: best foreign language film, "Cache" ("Hidden"); best cinematography, Rodrigo Prieto, "Brokeback Mountain"; best original score, Gustavo Santaolalla, "Brokeback Mountain"; most promising performer, Miranda July, "Me and You and Everyone We Know," and most promising director, Bennett Miller, "Capote."

The awards will be handed out later this year.

Sista' had to check out the pic of Mickey in the Star. I totally agree with what you are saying. Mickey fashion sense is all his own. .... - remember those red paisley pants we were hootin and hollerin over. Dress, live & love the way you want. If you lose your individuality - you lose an important part of yourself. As for The View - when the hell is their 15 minutes of fame gonna go POOF!!

Here We Go Again

2006-01-09T14:38:00.000-05:00

Sunday found my azz in the checkout line at the grocery store once again. No surprise there...lol...what an exciting way to spend a good chunk of your Sunday afternoon your saying right? HAHA...not!
Anyway, ya know how grocery store lines are, the most excruciatingly painful, just flat out...like...youve heard of peeps going postal, how bout going grocery on peeps. The screaming kids with thier moms screeching at em, the people who treat the grocery store as their social outing for the freaking week, the peeps whove gotta park their dayum cart right in the middle of the aisle and turn a deaf ear on ya when ya bout shout...excuse me! Then the checkout line....the asshole behind ya bumping their cart into the back of your ankles, the person in front of you in the 10 items or less line, that has 40 items and 100 coupons, the kid sittin in the cart in front of ya, that wont stop staring at ya while his mom unloads 10 tons of food, ya kinda get batty. Well, at least I do(weg). To stop muhself from goin' *grocery* on someone I usually peruse the trashy magazines to shut out the onslaught of noise, and to keep myself from blowing a gasket. And no, by trashy magazines I mean the gossip rags (get that mind outta the gutter peeps...lmfao).

So there I am, flippin thru the latest Star trash (January 16th edition) thinking about poking myself in the eye with the most handy sharp object if I have to read 1 more thing about the Brit baby fiasco or another iota bout Brad and Angelina...and I turn the page to the Star's infamous worst looks of the week page. Lo and behold theres a piccy of Mickey with a caption that reads sumthan like...did he juz rob a haus in Miami. The pic looked like he was strollin somewhere wearin' a brown beanie type of hat,( that hes so fond of ) with blue jeans and a blue and white striped blazer kinda thang. Then I got to reading who made the comment bout him and it was that chick Angela....who also happens to write for that TV show The View(yuh go figure, waste of airwave consumption there..bleh). So then instead of gettin' all razzed, I juz laffed. Why? Well have ya taken a good look at the chick who writes the nonesense to begin with?...Hmm, Im thinking the family tree dosent branch, my sister, my friend, my wife kinda situation. But thats juz my own take on her and her petty comment bout what Mickey was sportin' for threads.

Hell, I didnt think his clothes looked bad at all. Mickey can pull off things that other men would have a real hard time pullin' off. He marches to the beat of his own drum instead of conforming to societys little mold. Ya gotta give him alot of credit for that, at least I do...cuz ya know how much I hate societies lil box and molds that the *majority* try to shove people into. Mickey is Mickey. Appreciate him for how he is, or step off.

Yep, thats what I read while sitting at my tattoo artists shop today. Someone left a copy of the magazine OK! December 19th edition layin' around and me being bored while waiting for my appointment started thumbin' thru it. I read that and went woot woot! It also said that this is the 1st DVD the author had seen that is worth MORE than the suggested retail price. Oh, double woot woot...lmfao.

A lil note though, if you make Robert Rodriguez recipe for breakfast tacos, do believe him when he says once you make them youll crave them all the time. Forget taco tuesday folks, its taco time all the time now. Oh man are those thangs fuckin' kick azz! Besides the recipe there are so many kickin' things on the DVD's. I wont give it all away for those of you who havent seen it yet, lets just say there are no dissapointments. Definitly well worth every penny ya lay out for it and then some.

On one last note.....the question and answer session with Giuseppe Franco will be up soon.

Course your gonna be busy, especially at this time of year with all the holiday parties and other high falughtin stuff goin' on. So juz be patient folks, your gonna get your questions answered soon :)
