Comments: I've only recently discovered Uniquelyrourke, and I have to say it is a superb website! Finally I can get up to date info on what my all time favourite movie star is up to! I have been a fan of Mickey Rourke's since I first saw him in Diner when I was about 16! Since then I have hunted down every film of his I could find (not always easy in Britian!) and I supported him throughout. As I'm sure you know, as a Rourke fan you have to put up with a lot of rubbish that people write or say about him, and I have gladly banged the drum for Mickey whenever he has been in the press. he is a unique actor, without doubt the very best of his generation, and I for one don't think he has ever turned in a poor performance. I love the films he has made in recent years, I think he has turned in some incredible performances like: Animal Factory, The Pledge and Spun, as well as staggering lead roles in Sin City and Domino. Anyway, I just wanted to say a big thank you to Mickey, for all the years of joy I have had watching his performances. He is an actor who can cheer me up whenever I'm down just by watching one of his films. I am so excited by the buzz surrounding The Wrestler, I think it will truly put him back on top where he belongs, and I pray he gets his first Oscar for this. I would love to meet him one day, and I hope I shall. Until then please say thank you to him, and let him know that he is truly...the man! All the best wishes

Comments: I just finished watching Rourke's Exit In Red, which actually has a good noir plot. periodically it finds very special moments, some incredibly sexy, and then the film looks like they didn't have the best continuity. but the girls are absolute knockouts, and Mickey right after boxing looks fabulous. In fact, they are many glamour shots of him with his cool sunglasses on and off at his desk all dressed up...Tommy Helfiger. Note Mickey's hot blue slip ons...The soundtrack has great sax that reminds you of the sax playing in Blade Runner, and you should watch the end titles....something very special going on behind them...really nice vibe...And I remember Mickey being given a lot of pages in Architectural Digest, as he had an incredible apartment fitted with rich exotic trimmings mixing Versace and Leopard in a multi layered...well, let's put it this way. When Mickey dresses all out, the apartment still rules. Try to find the issue on ebay...Mickey wears a green suit in it that looks like the fabric is twice as thick as draperies. Amazing. I'd like to know, since we have all heard that Mickey was not paid for the Wrestler, if he has points in the film profits. I'd like to know if Mickey felt that taking steroids for the film and before affected his personality. I have some frame shots of Mickey that I'd like to send you guys...they are classic looking...more like something from Chinatown....let me know if I can attach pics next time... I think this site is hip.

Comments: Hey Mickey, I'm so glad to see you back on top again. This is where you belong. I'll be holding my breath for you on Oscar night (Oscar morning for me; I'm from the other side of the world). It would be delectable to see French actress Marion Cotillard presenting you with the Best Actor Oscar. Hi Steph & Heather, great job! Thanks for keeping us fans updated.

Comments: Hey ladies! I stumbled onto your site after watching "The Wrestler" and absolutely lovin' Mickey in that role! Then I remembered him in "Body heat", and went right out to rent that steamy movie just to see him again! To top it off, I watched the entire Charlie Rose interview - clicked on the link on your site. It was so worth the time! I loved his comments on his dogs, his therapist, and his own inner work! Thanks for your site....I'll be checking in!

Comments: hello, this is a message from Europe. I understood that you have the opportunity to meet Mickey Rourke sometimes along your commitment to take care of this great website. may I ask you to let Mickey Rourke know that there are many Europeans who are really really happy that he comes back to his incredible talent as actor. I saw the Wrestler yesterday. I have few words to share: a great play, un grand "Monsiuer"! He is exactly my age, my generation and it was so moving to see that he is the same fantastic man than 20-30 years ago, with the same grace and tenderness although life has hurt him (sorry for my English!) I hope that he will never stop acting and go ahead. Please, tell him to take good good care of himself: we want him back for very long!

Comments: I just saw probably the most amazing performance I have ever seen from any actor, living or dead. I am a long time film aficionado, a film major with 2 degrees, and I use to run fine art cinemas way back when. This film was the most beautiful piece of work for its humanity, reality and true to life portrayal. Never has anything been done like this on film, and never has any piece of acting I have ever seen cut as close to reality. There are moments when great actors get so close you cannot separate them from their roles, but this was total absorption. I have seen all of Rourke's films and waited to see how far he could go, and now I know I have seen the tip of his iceberg. I look forward to his future roles with great relish, and all I can say, is "Well, done, Mr. Rourke. Well done, and welcome back. I expect to enjoy more stunning performances." I literally told my husband I was praying he would win the Oscar, because if he does not it will be simply criminal. Wow!

Comments: Hey Mick, we also enjoyed seeing the interview on Charlie Rose. There's a lot of yourself that you don't let us see. That's OK. Are you writing though? It's been a great catharsis in my life on my journey of self-discovery. We have a lot on common. I never had any "one-on-one" with my Da. Had he connected with me spiritually like that I would've been taught things I ended up only learning the hard way.

Comments: When I read that Loki had passed away, I just felt sick. We have seen so much of her it's almost as if we all have lost her too, well, we have. I will miss seeing the pics of her everywhere with Mickey. I know Mickey must really be feeling low. It is always so difficult losing a pet, especially when it never was really a pet but a part of the family. My sympathy goes out to him. I am so sorry Mickey.

Comments: I have always been fascinated with Mickey. He just seems like a really nice/normal-real person to listen to in interviews and stuff. If he was from my town in Minnesota, we would definitely hang out with the same crowd. I would love to meet him, party some, have a good time, then he goes his way and I go mine, but it would be fun. If Mickey should ever come to Minnesota..............oh yeah. I seen on your site that his dog passed away-devastating for him and my heart goes out, losing a beloved pet is heart wrenching.

And you were lucky to have had such a special pet who touched your heart like she obviously did. I have no other words except to say Loki is at peace now, in the company of so many who have gone before her (imagine that party). and you have loving memories of her until you meet again. with love....

Comments: Mickey, I am so sorry about the loss of your dog, Loki. I completely and totally understand the affection, devotion and attachment this your dogs. I have three who live with me, sleep with me, love me, and are as close to me as any human beings. our dogs are a part of us, and we are so attached to them for their love, friendship, acceptance, adorability and joy. My dogs have been the only hugs I have gotten many days, and I would do anything for them. I cannot imagine a life without them. My heart goes out to you Mickey, and I will keep you in prayer for peace and strength. Just know you deserve the best now, and I believe you will get it. Keep your faith in God, your joy and your heart strong. You have many great performances in store for us all. Thank you website ladies for your labor on this site on this great actor's behalf. It is nice to know it is here and that you have been faithful to the cause.

Comments: I have loved everything about Mickey for about 30 years. His only "flaw" is that he doesn't seem to date women in his age range. I am 52, tall and slim, my face resembles a thinner Jennifer Tilly, and people generally say I look about 42, or younger. But even if I really was 42, I'd still be too old for Mr. Rourke, so it seems! :-)

Comments: Hi, I want Mr. Rourke to know my wife and I will keep him and Loki in our prayers. We do dog rescue and one of our rescued Chihuahuas "Velveteen Rabbit" is the poster dog for HB137, an anti cruelty bill currently under consideration in Kentucky. She was rescued pregnant with her left rear leg broken in three places. She has since had puppies and we still have two: their names are Journey and Love. HB137 is backed by HSUS. We have 12 dogs now and recently lost one, JD in a horrible way. No matter how many we have or how many times we go through it, every time we loose one of our angels it's devastating. So please let him know he is not alone and that others care. The only way I get through it is, when I start to fall apart, I think how my baby would not want that for me. I have not yet seen The Wrestler but just from the clips, I have already been touched. Mickey, you are awesome! You and Loki will be in our hearts. And if anybody is reading this guestbook...please contact the State House and Senate in Kentucky to help HB137 pass. God Bless.

I felt the life sucked out of me. I still cry when I speak of it. You are such a wonderful Daddy...you gave Loki all of your love, and you took such good care of her. She knew that you loved her, and she could count on you for everything. Time will heal your sadness, but it will take lots of time. She was very special to you. May God bless you, and heal your heart."

And I think Loki knew that her job was done and it was okay to go back to her Creator. You know, one day you, Loki and her parents Beau Jack & Angel and the rest will all meet again. My love and prayers go out to you and your fur-kids. God Bless.

I will be paying her bill through September but I would do it all again if I thought I could save her. She was long hair Chihuahua and Schnauzer mix. I as privileged to be in her life for 14 years. There will always be a hole in my heart from her passing as I am sure there is a place in your heart that went when Loki passed. I just hold on to the thought that I will see her waiting at the gates of heaven for me. Again, I am so sorry.

Comments: Loved Mr. Rourke from the start. Missed him when he went astray, still loved him. Happy to see him back, but the man I am learning that he is has given me the clue as to why I have always been drawn to him and that is his deep, undivided and unyielding love dog his best friend Loki. So many people just don't get it. I am in such sorrow that he has lost his best gal. I have lost many of my own and the sorrow is inconsolable. Even time will never take away the pain and sadness but the memories will, as always, make us smile and laugh in the wonderment of our dearest fur coated friends on four legs. Love you for all that you are, and all that you are is reflected in your best friend's (wolf, wolf) eyes. My heart is heavy, my tears nearly drown me, my heart sings in your compassion.

Comments: Dear Mickey, It was so sad to hear about Loki's passing. I cried when I heard the news. I was watching The View this morning when Barbara Walters broke your sad news to her viewers. I lost my beloved Bishon "Button" recently after a terrific 16 years with her. She was my baby and my ROCK. She was with me for so many years and was there for me while I waded through some of the most difficult years of my life. I do not think it was possible to love a dog so much. It is hard to explain, but Button never really seemed like a dog at all...there was something very special about her. She was with me while I embarked on years of expertly guided self discovery (like you). Many of these realizations were so difficult...and then at the end of it all there was :Button" to comfort me, come rain or come shine. I truly believed that she hung on so long because she knew I needed her...and when I had done most of what I needed to do, I believe she knew it and she felt it was her time to go - -she was tired, ad she knew I would be OK.  Perhaps that was Loki's role with you Mickey. In her own way, Loki knew that you would be OK and that you were on your way to a brand new brilliant career and you were ready to accept living your life without her. The only difference is that now she will be up there bestowing her blessings on you while looking down.....! A good friend of mine gave me a poem that I lovingly adapted to my life with Button. I have done the same for you Mickey..I am so proud of you and wish you love, happiness and abundance in your new life. In time your heart will heal and you'll have room for a new Loki. I know, for in time it happened to me...

Comments: Mickey, I was so sad to learn Yoki passed away. My heart goes out to you. I have a precious dog, Prince, who is twelve years old and dying. People rarely talk about losing a dog and it is heart wrenching. My dog has been with me through the most difficult times in my life and has given me more love than anyone else. He was diagnosed in October with a non-malignant tumor and I almost lost him then. I am an R.N. and have taken care of him every day like a human being. My biggest fear is not being with him at that moment when he leaves this earth. No one should die alone and I hope I am there for him when the time comes. I believe dogs are better than most human beings with the loyalty and unconditional love they give us. They are the greatest teachers of what true love (or should be)....You will never forget the love Yoki gave to you. Ultimately, you have become a better human being because of her love. please know that others care and share in your sorrow. PS: Congratulations on your Golden Globe. You deserve to win the Academy Award for best Actor and you will win it for Yoki. (If you do not win the Oscar, I will never watch the show again. I will consider it a political sham.)

Comments: Thanks for the website honoring Mickey. I know this is just one of thousands of entries you'll receive concerning the passing of Loki. But I think it's important for Mickey to know how many us us appreciate his feelings for Loki and all of his beloved canine angels. How wonderful that he understands the gifts we receive from our animal friends and is not afraid to express his feelings. he is such an inspiration. And, as one who has many animal friends who have passed over, I can say with absolute certainty that Loki will always be with him - just in a different for. The very best to Mickey and many thanks for him for sharing his journey with us. XOXO

Comments: reading about Mickey's Dear Loki is as heartbreaking as it would be to learn one of my own dogs had died. It is certainly tragic enough to lose a pet you love, but when you lose a pet that is really no longer your pet, but has become the half that makes you whole, the despair and helplessness you feel is truly immeasurable. Dear Loki, along with the incomparable beau Jack the Great, altered the course of Mickey's life, and taught him more about love, understanding, compassion, and patience than any person ever could have. The pain this man must feel is something I can understand, but, not having had to face this yet, cannot fully comprehend. I keep thinking about this coming Sunday, and how I was so hoping the Oscar scenario would play itself out: "And the best Actor goes to...Mickey Rourke!" After which, we would have seen Mickey walk the podium with his Beloved Loki in his arms, set her down on the podium, give an acceptance speech completely off the cuff and straight from the heart; wherein lastly he would yet again thank his dogs for being such an important part of his life. Should Mickey win the Oscar he deserves, regardless of what he may do or say, I will always envision Mickey's winning moment to have included his darling Loki in his arms and by his side.

Comments: Mickey, My dog Loki saved my life too. We are two men who have faced a troubled life, but have emerged with the saving grace of our dogs Loki. I was faced with a divorce after 23 years of marriage. I was close to losing myself and was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to buy a greater Swiss Mountain Dog puppy. The timing was perfect and this dog gave me a purpose and hope for the future. My son named the dog and I thought it was a curse (Loki is named after the Norse God of mischief & trickery). She lived up to that name, but through all her antics, she pulled me through. My heart goes out to you and your loss. Please know that I am heading to the local humane society today to make a donation in your dog's name. T all the Loki's out there that help us through our troubles, we are thankful. wishing you the best.

I, like you, have others who are also very loved, but each is as individual as we are, and when one leaves us, they are never replaceable, but remembered for the unique and unconditional love they gave us.

She has been my constant companion through years of deep depression. I understand exactly what Mickey said when he thanked his dogs at the Golden Globes. I have a friend who rescued a dog and then found out she was pregnant. She had 4 Chihuahua puppies. maybe Mickey is looking for something small to hold while giving comfort during this terrible time.
