The Official "The Wrestler" Thread (w\Spoilers)

[Shy Guy]

since it's about to be released nationwide, all news and comments about the movie will go here.

first up: Mickey gets a Golden Globe nod.

from: www.wrestlezone.com

Mickey Rourke has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama for his portrayal of Randy "The Ram" Robinson in Darren Aronofsky's "The Wrestler." The film has received excellent reviews in its limited run.

Marisa Tomei was also nominated in her supporting role as "Cassidy," the stripper, and Bruce Springsteen received a nomination for Best Original Song for his tune "The Wrestler."

I'm sad, they have a list of when it'll get released and where... but I won't get until January 23rd. Check out the list, which is only a draft here, content.foxsearchlight.com/inside/node/3041

Yeah, the closest it hits to where I live is Harrisburg which sucks.

[Gopher Mod]

Closest it hits to me is Detroit..... *shudders*

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

Yay! They are showing it in Oklahoma City on January 23rd!

[The Line]

Spokane gets it like a week after I come back to Pullman. Lame!

[Shy Guy]

[Brick Killed a Guy]

I can't wait for this to come out here in January


Oh and if Springsteen doesn't win that Golden Globe then I'll riot...


His song is just amazing (Although I AM a life long Springsteen Mark)

Hell I honestly think he should also be nominated & win the Oscar for Best Song.

Same. But Reading hardly gets any decent movies anyway.

I guess BitTorrent is going to have to help me out on this one.

[The Genesis of KoOS]

So those are the only cities it'll be playing at?

[Jazzman]

Not sure... this is only a draft mind you, show dates and locations could change

[Deleted]

It depends on where in KC. If it's at the AMC Oddesey in Gladstone (a 15 minute drive from my house) I am so seeing this. If it's somewhere out in Olathe or Blue Springs, then I'm out.

Pretty much, if it's close enough for Blade Braxton to go see (as he lives on the other side of the KC area than I do), then it's too far from me...unless I'm underestimating how far Blade would go to see it.

Co-sign. i just saw the trailer last night, and i really want to see this.

[Jake, The Jake, Jake]

Well if I want to drive two and a half hours to Memphis I could go see it.

[Grendel]

It gets released in Minneapolis in a few weeks, but if it's a limited release kind of thing, it means it's going to be at the Uptown Theatre. I hate the Uptown Theatre, as it's full of snooty, artsy types. Well, with any luck, one of the other theatres in the area will pick it up so I don't have to drive an hour and a half or more to see it.

15_th of January is the release date for Australia

Same here, having been to 13 Springsteen shows in my lifetime.

Looks like I'll be seeing the movie on January 23. That's actually pretty good timing since Working On a Dream comes out four days later. "The Wrestler" is included as a bonus track on the disc.
