The Latest...
October 1st, 08'

 The New York Film Festival is in full swing. This morning “The Wrestler” had it’s US debut. It was reported that this movie would be closing the festival. Don’t ask me what the fuck happened (lol). Who knows. It may have been a special screening. Anywho, www.defamer.com, has written a piece about the press conference Mickey Rourke & Darren Aronofsky attended after the showing of the flick. Read it!!

Until we meet again

Steph

 Oh No, Not Again!!!
October 2nd, 08'

 Several weeks ago I wrote on the Skinny that the Weinstein Company had set-up a new release date for the movie Killshot.... November 7^th 08'. While I wasn’t so sure the date would stick I remained positive, yet cautious. My attitude about the release date was take it with a grain of salt cuz nothing is set in stone when it comes to the world of film. 

 Here’s the deal: According to the L.A. Times, Killshot has been pulled once again from its theatrical release. OMG!! NOT AGAIN!!! I’m totally flabbergasted and have been caught off guard by this latest development in the Killshot saga. NOT!! Hahaha!! Nothing concerning this film surprises me anymore. Shit, thank goodness the LA Times kept tabs on how many release dates Killshot has had, cuz I lost count a long time ago. (FYI - there has been 5 release dates associated with this film). Out of curiosity I headed on over to the Weinstein Company website to see if I could get the lowdown. Unfortunately, there was no lowdown to be found. They still had Killshot listed with the November 7^th date, which doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot. 

The question I’m sure many of you are asking yourselves is when will this flick hit the big screen? Umm, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’re looking at early 2009. All I can say to Rourke fans is this - you haven’t heard the end of the Killshot - when the fuck is this movie gonna be released - melodrama. Holy shit, wait till you read all the changes this film has been thru to get it ready for its debut. All I have to say is this: Ms. G, you were holding out on me!! Shame on you!! ; )

I’m going to bed. My brain is fried !!!

 Mickey Rourke: The Dark Side Of Fame
October 8th, 08'

Heather here…wondering where Stephy and all the news is? We’ll she will be making an appearance here later today. She fell and literally busted her ass, no shit. To get down to the brass tacks of it all, 1 of her dogs was eager to take a stroll and in his excitement to go for a walk, got his leash wrapped around her legs and she took a tumble down the stairs. Her tailbone is aching something fierce, I can sympathize, I did the same thing awhile back only it involved beer cans and freshly oiled hardwood floors. (Don’t ask…lol)

Stephy has some fabby news/info about the Piers Morgan show called The Dark Side of Fame that recently aired on BBC. Wondering who Piers Morgan is? He’s 1 of the judges from that television show Americas Got Talent. I dunno how long or short her Skinny about it will be, seeing as she goes thru intervals of sitting and standing to ease her achin’ tush, but in true Stephy form, it will be rockin’!

 We wanna thank all our friends/supporters and Mickey's fans from across the pond for sending us so much bangin’ feedback about the show, your opinions, what was discussed ect. We will have your Guest Book entries up real soon. I’ve almost got that 3^rd page done (wink, wink)

 A synopsis of the show goes like this…. Mickey Rourke talks about the end of his Hollywood movie career when consistently negative headlines saw him go head to head with the studios - and lose. After walking away from the silver screen, he tried his luck as a boxer, but yearns for his old life as an icon even though he has apparently burned all his bridges

A blurb from Piers in an interview about the show - "'I've just interviewed the actor Mickey Rourke for Dark Side Of Fame,' he says. 'He was sitting there, this guy with the smashed-up face and gnarled hands, saying, "Do you know what losing is? It's when you ring up a restaurant in Hollywood and they know who you are, but they say they can't give you a table."

That’s it for me. Look for Stephy’s Skinny later today!

Muah,
Heather

October 11th, 08'

In my tush (as Heather calls it) for now. I’m going to attempt to toss at ya as much news as I possibly can. It may seem like a rush job and I do apologize, but I can only sit for a short span of time.

 Mickey Does NY FF
Prior to breaking my ass last week - I told ya’ll that New York Film Festival was underway and there had been a special screening of The Wrestler on Wednesday, October 1^st.  Afterwards, a press conference was held with a panel consisting of Mickey (duh!), Darren Aronofsky and Marissa Tomei.

 Articles

“I realized I had to change”

 The Wrestler

 Aronofsky, Rourke talk wrestler

 Darren Aronofsky on “The Wrestler”

 Salon : The Wrestler

 BOP : Holidays 2008

 The NYFF Press Conference (read all about Mickey teaching Marissa Tomei how to work the strip pole lol)

My naughty Dutch boi reporter ~ Raymond Stolp - sent me this video footage from slashfilm. FYI ~ There are five videos on this page, therefore, you’re going to need to give the page time to load.-up

Thanks Ray Boi!!!! Now bend over!!!! (lol)

The Turkish Riviera??
Yeah you heard me right! Mickey and Marissa Tomei are slated to premiere “The Wrestler” at The Eurasia Film Festival (October 10^th - October 19^th).  I gotta be straight up, this one is new to me!! :) Read all about it here

Rourke Discussion
Over the last month or so we have been getting emails from folks requesting info on how they can become more involved with uniquelyrourke. Honestly, the only thing we have going where fans can participate is our yahoo group -  The Rourke Roundtable. The group has been floating about for a year and interaction in the group varies.

The lowdown on the Roundtable goes something like this....There are 3 moderators - myself, Heather and our friend LaShane (she owns Mickey Rourke Walls and she’s the former moderator of a once GREAT Rourke group). Umm, lets see..... You don’t need a special invitation to join the group however, you do have to sign up. Heather and I didn’t set it up that way cuz we wanna be bitches. The reason for this format is - our unrealistic need to control spammers.

Anywho, the Rourke Roundtable is for adults. This means we shouldn’t have to do any policing of the group and you can say what you want, the way you wanna say it. All we ask is that you show RESPECT to group members. 

So if you wanna join - have at it!!!

Now, to answer the question of those folks who want to know if they can send us articles & photo’s. Hell yeah, we’ll take em’. Just tell us how you want us to give ya the props you deserve for donating your Rourke Goods, to Mickey’s official site. (yeah, I had to the OFFICIAL word again) lol

I’m back in the saddle - albeit with a pillow.

Ciao,
Steph

 All Good Things Come In Time
October 14th, 08'

 Mickey rocked the house. The Wrestler closed the New York Film Festival, this past Sunday..  The positive vibes coming from critics about Mickey’s stellar performance is beyond what anyone could imagine. It’s so kick ass to read articles about Mickey that have no references or comparisons to the late great actors James Dean/ Marlon Brando.  HELLO!!!  They finally get it... He’s Mickey Fuckin’ Rourke !!!  Woohoo!!!

Rourke “Wrestles” with pride & Shamming

Mickey Snapshots
Okay, I’m going to go all out girly on ya’ll, so bear with me for just a sec. Hells Bells,  the recent pictures of Mickey at the New York Film Festival are smokin’ hot... Alrighty, I’ve  finished with my 10 panty experience... ; )

The Boss
I’ve been asked if I have heard the Springsteen song that plays at the end of flick ‘The Wrestler’. My answer is yes, however the audio quality was really poor, because it was a bootlegged copy.  As I have stated previously on the Skinny, I will not put up bootlegged material on the site.

 Moooove On!!!
Imagine this ~ adults (for lack of a better word) between the ages of 40 & 50 - who are spending every waking moment trying to devise ways to bring down uniquelyrourke. It matters not to these lonely, pitiful, don’t get outta the house much souls that Mickey said we are his official site (see our youtube video as proof). For some reason in their twisted, soured, murky, convoluted, all circuits are crossed brains - they believe that Mickey Rourke is going to come down off the mountain - place his hands on their heads and say: “You are the chosen ones.”  What more do you expect from thieves of the delusional percussion? Although, there is a new tactic they are using. They are jumping up and down in cyberspace (who knew that was possible) with their arms flaying wildly over their heads - while wailing in their most annoying voice’s - like  sinners who believe they have found salvation: “Mickkkkey Loooook At Meeeee!!! Mickkkkey! Mickkkkkey!! Mickkkkkey!!! Lil’ do they know, or want to accept, Mickey isn’t listening. He’s made his choice.

With the latest developments involving these tadpoles - we contacted certain people to let them know what was going down. Here’s the deal: Tomorrow is a new day. And I should have more to tell ya later in the coming week. However, we ourselves did receive a message from the mountain: You have nothing to prove. We can't agree more!

Anywho, head on over to our friend LaShane’s site Mickey Rourke Walls - she too has something to say.

Ciao,
Steph

 Bump-N-Run
October 16th, 08'

 Blame the Presidential Debate & Heather for todays puny Skinny. (lol) That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Say What?
  I had to go hunting for this damn video diddy after Heather told me she spotted an
Access Hollywood microphone shoved in Mickey’s face, in a photo she was drooling over.  Haha!! Leatha’ I outed you. As for the interview, it is what it is. A short sound bite. Umm, doesn’t sound like Mickey cared too much for the words comeback or Comeback Kid.  I’m so glad I’ve not used those terms to describe Mickey. In my opinion he’s always been around, he just needed the right film to bring him back to the forefront of the industry. Click HERE to view the video.

We Know You
  Here’s a photo of Mickey’s long time friend & Bullet co-star John Enos at the New York Film Festival premiere of ‘The Wrestler’.  John has also been mega kopastetic to both Heather and myself. He has been a supporter of our site for a few years. If you haven’t checked out our page titled Enosology, your missing out. John’s a cool fuckin’ guy.

 
That Mickey!!
  Whenever we get word from one of Mickey’s friends that they have received a text, phone call or have hooked up with him, a majority of the time they always end the message they send us with the exclamation ‘that Mickey’. Heather has learned first hand what that means and I’m not talking about her visit with Mickey on the set of ‘The Wrestler’. Let me put it to you this way~ Mickey has one hell of a sense of humor. I’ll leave it at that. This brings me to the photo below. The first thing that popped in my head when I first saw it was ‘that Mickey’, he’s a hoot!!! 

Mickey Rourke’s future is so bright he's gotta wear shades. "The Wrestler" actor clowned around with co-star Evan Rachel Wood at the film's premiere at the closing night of the New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center, and told us the two prepped for their scenes "by separately chain-smoking packs of cigarettes beforehand." The nicotine worked: The duo's chemistry is intense. Source: NY Daily News

Site Update
 Check out our Skinny Archive pages, Heather will be adding more soon.

I think I’ve covered everything for now, but you never know.

 When In Doubt, Knock Em’ Out!!!
October 18th, 08'

 Looks like The Wrestler is really making the rounds at the film festivals here in the US and aboard. If you have never been to a film festival - I highly recommend it. The energy of the crowd is completely different than that of a regular movie theater crowd. I remember when I went to see Spun a few years ago at the Florida Film Festival. Holy shit that was a wild ride! So, if you are able to give a film festival a whirl - go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

 Mickey arrived in Antalya on Friday to attend the screening of “The Wrestler” at the 45^th Golden Orange Film Festival in Turkey.

 The 44^th Chicago International Film Festival - October 16^th - October 29th. "The Wrestler” will be showing on 10/24 - 7 pm @ AMC River East.

 Something New
A couple of days ago, Heather and I, received an email from Jim Rohner - a film producer and film critic for the Film & Video Channel at www.zoom-in.com  - asking us if we would read his review of “The Wrestler” and would we post it on uniquelyrourke if we liked it. Upon reading his review I responded back to Jim and told him there would be no problem. Heather and I both dug the piece. We thought the content was insightful, thoughtful and well written. Jim made sure that he gave you the lowdown on what the film was about - along with his observations on Mickey’s performance as wrestler, Randy ‘the ram’, which was all good. Here’s something else I noticed about this review, while other film critic’s have been positive about Mickey’s performance, they still had to take some cheap shots about Mickey’s past.  Jim didn’t do this. For example, he didn’t drudge up Mickey’ s past discretions or harp on what Mickey could have /should have done with his career before hitting it big with “The Wrestler”.  Uniquelyrourke wants to thank Jim for giving us the heads up on his review otherwise who knows is we’d have known about it. After reading the review - give the web site the ole hairy eyeball. You won’t be bored.  Below is an excerpt:

 The Wrestler is already generating murmurs of Academy Award glory catalyzed by a career-resurrecting performance by leading man Mickey Rourke. Not opening wide until December, the organizers of the New York Film Festival wisely selected The Wrestler as the closing night film for October 12th, whetting the palettes of critics and further spreading the word to audiences about one of the most powerful, well-crafted, and best films of the year.

 Have a Great Weekend !!

 13 ...is Mickey's lucky number
October 20th, 08'

The Hollywood Reporter and Variety reveal that Mickey will add his acting skills to an English version of the French thriller film and the winner of the 2006 Sundance Grand Jury Prize -13 Tzameti. (Which is a kickin’ flick) It will be begin shooting November 17th in Mickey’s own backyard -  New York. 

 You maybe asking why we didn’t break the story, and that’s a good question. Here is the deal: we have been told at times when Mickey is doing business. However, he never discloses the exact meaning of what he is doing. Besides, it would not be ethical for us to give the lowdown on Mickey’s career moves unless Mickey authorizes us to do so. You have to understand it’s not always about getting the story first. With uniquelyrourke being Mickey’s Official web site - there are certain legal & moral responsibilities we have. He made us his official site for many reasons - one of them being we have tight lips. So if you don’t get it, then you don’t Mickey.

Ciao,
Steph

 Mickey Gets His Due

New Rourke Article....
November 2nd, 08'

 Check out the most recent article on Mickey at Entertainment Weekly Online. Of course, if you wanna go to the newsstand and buy the magazine you can do that all also. But why wait? Mickey really opens himself up, read it! (Heather and I read this article together. We find it hard to believe that only 6 months ago, she was there in Dover, NJ to witness Mickey giving the speech he had written for “The Wrestler”. She was front and center, ringside baby. Mickey gave her something very special that night after filming. Something no else has in their possession, a piece of him. Can you guess what it is?)

 FYI - A couple of weeks ago, I posted on the Skinny that Maxim would feature Mickey in their magazine. Look for it to hit the stands sometime next month. Apparently, there is a juicy excerpt from the article floating round the internet. I’ve been asked whether it’s true or not. Here’s the deal: For some reason, folks are having a problem with Mickey saying he has sex toys and a stripper pole in his apartment. HELLO!! Grow up people!! WTF!!!  Did ya’ll think Mickey was a virgin!! (lol) Anywho, I’ll get to that shit later, I’ll also answer the questions about where Heather and I have been hiding. Shhh!! Don’t tell anyone but, we’ve been playing with our sex toys. DUH!! Buhahahaha!!!

Until next time

Ciao,

 Here are some pics of Mickey at the opening ceremony dinner honoring Al Pacino at the
 3^rd Rome International Film Festival.  Damn, Mr. Rourke sure does get around. (lol) Thanks to Getty Images!

 That’s all for now... Oops - One more thing .. what’s up with all the bitchin’ bout Mickey takin’ on this new flick “13" Some folks (who will remain nameless) can’t seem to keep their fuckin’ nose’s outta Mickey’s career choices. Hello!! Did he call you on the phone to ask your opinion? Definitely not, the real question is, why do you dare question Mickey’s movie choices (again)? This happened with “The Wrestler”.

Go get a job, life, laid or whatever. Come on guys, you don’t pay his bills. Pfft!! This shit is too whacky.

  Last Thursday night November 7^th , Mickey was in Los Angles at the AFI Festival Gala screening of ‘The Wrestler” held at the historic Gruman’s Chinese Theater. The place was SOLD OUT!! And Mickey was totally grooving on the scene. Naturally, his performance was hailed MAGNIFICIO!! Which only added more Oscar fuel to the huge bonfire that has been blazing ever so brightly since the film’s world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. On Saturday November 8^th, our Myspace friend Alex went to another special screening of “The Wrestler” in Los Angles. He posted this diddy on uniquelyrourke’s Myspace page - with his permission - we are posting for all of you to read....

 Was privileged to see an advanced screen of The Wrestler. In my humble opinion: This is a real movie, like Taxi Driver. A roller-coaster ride of emotions. Rourke hits it out of the park! He completely embodies this character. Fearlessly immerses himself as usual. His performance is 100% truthful and real. Even if you aren't a fan of wrestling, which I'm personally not, you get sucked in. He deserves awards for this one. Let's hope they have the budget to campaign for him come Oscar time.

 Thanks Alex.....

 More Of The Good Stuff That Went Down In LA.
  Around 5:30 pm, the day after the AFI screening of “The Wrestler”  I got a call from Heather. She told me that Melissa just sent her a text message letting her know that Mickey had just sent her a text message, asking her to go to the press junkets that were being held for The Wrestler at his favorite hotel, The Four Seasons. Mel told Heather to call her asap. So she did. Well, what transpired was the typical chick shit that goes on between women who like each other and are good friends. Ya know.. what am I going to wear, I gotta do my hair and make-up. Honestly, if you have watched the video Mel did for us, you’d know that chick doesn’t need to do a whole lot to her fine self. She’s one smokin’ chica. Anywho, about an hour later Mel sent Heather another text message but this time it included a photo.... taken just for Heather, myself and uniquelyrourke. Look closely, who’s that fella in the mirror....  To those who have doubted us and to those who have continued to lie about our official status ~ look real close at the photo.. Then eat shit!!!

 I’m done ranting. Now I have to get back to my night job - Phone Sex Operator.  I need to stimulate the economy, *wink*wink*.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it....(lol)

 The Word On The Street......
November 19th, 08'

   Mickey is still hitting high marks with film critics for his performance in ‘The Wrestler’. So to all of you out there who have written me worried about whether Mickey might be in some hot water over the shit that went down in the past - all I can say is let the bad juju go. It doesn’t benefit Mickey or those involved to rehash all that negative bullshit. When it’s all said and done - regardless the situation, Mickey steps up to the plate and takes it like a man.

 Keeping It Real
   Site visitors have been asking if Heather received her gift from Mickey yet. The answer is yes. She hit the jackpot. Included with her one of a kind gift - was a note - that began with: “Beautiful Heather.” Awwww!! Barf!! Barf!! (just kidding buhahahaha!!)

 Can’t Get Enough of The Wrestler?
   Then head on over to Fox Searchlight ( the distributor) and keep up-to-date on all the latest tidbits, articles and videos. I can honestly say - you won’t be bored. I found this smokin' pic over there!

   Recently, Darren Aronofsky and Marisa Tomei held a screening of “The Wrestler” in one of my favorite places, Georgetown. (Aaah, don’t hyper ventilate tuna belle - I ain’t talking bout where you hail from) The Georgetown I’m yakking about is a historical neighborhood that is located on the outskirts of our nation’s capitol - Washington D.C. Woohoo!! I have had some good times in that neck of the woods. Oops, off track .. Oh Well. I get excited about Washington D.C. I’m a geek - what can I say.  HELLO!! If you have been there - you know what I mean.

 Let’s see, the screening was held at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown. Tricia Olszaoski - a journalist for the Washington City Paper covered the event. The piece she wrote was good. She gives ya the lowdown on some facts she learned from the Q & A, which was held after the screening.  For instance:

– Bruce Springsteen, a friend of Rourke’s, wrote and performed the film’s closing-credits song for free.

– The screenplay is by former Onion editor-in-chief Robert D. Siegel.

– Aronofsky says he chose Rourke because he’s “kind of into actors that are a surprise.”

– Rourke, gruff, burly, and with his peroxide-blond locks in a hair net, served actual customers in scenes that show Randy working at a supermarket deli counter (which accounts for the shoppers’ mostly befuddled and somewhat amused expressions).

– Aronofsky chose to frequently shoot Rourke from behind because his mentor, The Pope of Greenwich Village director Stuart Rosenberg, told him that “Mickey is so expressive with his back.”

– Tomei was instructed to text the director when she decided whether she wanted the role of Randy’s love interest, a stripper named Cassidy: “rock ‘n’ roll” meant yes, “easy listening” meant no.

  Before I wrap this up I want to comment on the not so surprising change in the release date of Killshot. I mentioned several weeks ago not to hold your breath, cuz,  I knew the Nov 7^th  release date wouldn’t go down, but I posted the date anyway, because it’s what I do. Here’s the deal: Head Honcho Harvey Weinstein confirmed and I’m paraphrasing - that his studio wanted to release the flick to coincide with all the hype for “The Wrestler”. Umm, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, now I remember.. It was me!!!  See, I do know a lil’ bout the industry. (lol) The new release date is January 23, 2009 - Oh... Okay .. If you say so...

No Phone Sex for me tonight..... (lol) It’s my night off.... YAY!!

Ciao,
Steph

  I’ve been asked if I would put up the trailer for Killshot. Of course, I will. Your wish is my command. From my understanding the trailers that have been released over the last several months do not  represent the most current retooling of the film. You’ll notice that the trailer you are about to watch still lists Johnny Knoxville as part of the film. I read awhile ago that Knoxville’s scenes have been cut from the movie. Do I know for sure? Hell No!! After all this is Killshot, the movie that has had more release dates than Carter has liver pills. Sorry, I don’t mean to be cynical. And to prove I want to bring about some positive vibes for this film to open on January 23^rd 2009. Heather and I will cross our fingers, hop ten times on one foot and spit 3 times in the wind. I don’t know if that shit will work but what the fuck have we got to lose.  :)

 The Official Trailer for The Wrestler
November 20th, 08'

 Includes the highly anticipated song by The Boss. (Pssst, check out Miss Heather at 1:57 in the trailer, yep her naughty self is in the front row....LOL)
According to Uncut Magazine, The Wrestler is scheduled to be released in the UK on January 16^th, 2009.

                                                       The Wrestler

 Hola!!!! I just wanted to put a lil’ something up that just came in from ESPN Magazine, Max Klinger gave Mickey a kick ass review for his role in The Wrestler.

                                            THE NEXT: GREAT SPORTS MOVIE

  Sorry to all you folks who have emailed us wanting me to put up the latest news on Mickey. Sadly, Heather lost her favorite Uncle this past week and was unable to do any work on the web site. However, she is BACK on the job. If all goes well, look for a new Skinny later today or in the wee early hours of the morning.

 The Guest Book is now current. YAY!!!  Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to write us. We appreciate all the support you give us!!!

 Until we meet again!!!

 Ciao,
Steph

  Folks mailed me today asking what the fuck happened with the follow-up Skinny that was supposed to be have been posted either yesterday afternoon or early this morning. It’s a fair question that I have no problem answering. Here’s the deal - I was on the phone with Heather going over some shit around 1am and during our convo, I got a call from a dear friend of mine. He needed to vent and I’m the chick he calls. Needless to say I was up till 6am this morning chatting which prohibited me for getting anything together for the Skinny. Anywho, I hope my explanation of what went down satisfies those site visitors who seem to have a nose problem. (lol)

Unfortunately this is gonna be a really short diddy cuz  it’s Turkey Day and I gotta be up at 4am to make the journey to my Mom’s house. With that being said, let’s get to some news....

 Gotham Independent Film Gala
  Award season gets into gear beginning on December 2^nd at Cipriani Wall Street, in New York. Films up for prizes are… Hmm, I don’t know about ya’ll but all I care about is whether Mickey is gonna be there and if “The Wrestler” will be in the mix of nominees that compete for the booty that is bestowed upon the winners. Well, the answer to both of those questions is YES!! Mickey will be there and “The Wrestler” has been nominated for Best Feature.  HELL YEAH!!!

SlashFilms
Has released the latest group of photos from “The Wrestler”.  Loookin’ Gooood!!! 

Loki & Her BoyToy..
  If you read the Skinny from last week, you know I wrote about Mickey hangin’ in Las Vegas November 8^th,  for the Tao Night Club 3^rd Anniversary Celebration and all bullshit that went on there. Anywho, I kinda sorta left out who flew down to Vegas with Mickey.. Sorry! The list goes a lil’ something like this: Mickey, his #1 girl Loki, longtime friend/actor John Enos, his delicious wife Jennie & their #1 boy Duke. Holy Shit! Check out Loki & Duke living large in Louis Vuitton. A huge thanks to Duke’s Mom (Jennie) for sharing this pic. Awww!
