I'm really annoyed that Springsteen didn't get a nod for one of his best songs ever..
hopefully Rourke wins though...

Did they really have to use the death-match?

I just looked out my window and saw a one legged dog trying to make his way down the street.

For sure, and also standing in every corner always leaving with less than he had before. The poor bastard really couldn't ask for anything more than a smile when the blood hits the floor.. Ok, I kinda took it too far..but yeah it's great song

I realised it must have taken great will power from me not to start singing "Somebody Call My Momma" when The Ayatollah first appeared on screen.

I dunno about anyone else but I've been doing my utmost to spread the word around friends about this film.... yet it seems to have really gained great mainstream popularity already.
Fantastic.

Disappointed it didn't get nominated for Best Picture. Would've been great for wrestling.

The only place in this part of my state that is showing The Wrestler this weekend is an art-house cinema an hour away from me that only has one showing a day. Even though there are five ten-screen multiplexes within 30 minutes of me, none of them are showing the film. grrrrrrr....... ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

Just got back from seeing it, I loved it.
The fact that I could actually believe that Rourke was a wrestler, great story, great film.
Definatly a DVD purchase when it comes out.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER PLEASE DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND AVOID THIS THREAD IF YOU PLAN ON SEEING IT AND HAVEN'T YET .......... ............ .................... Ram didn't die in last sequence. He had already died a long time ago in a sense. In terms of the movie, he "died" when he was at the American Legion "meet and greet." I LOVE the last sequence of shots. When he sees that the one person left in his life (and even that person was never really in his life), the last leap symbolizes his plunge into the reality that he's *already* dead. And the heart thing is a front for the emotional death as well. His heart had continued to beat, but it's good use of symbolism in that he acknowledges his "heart" condition the most when he finally realizes everyone in his life is just backstage whenever he actually sees them and won't be there when he really needs them anyway. It would be a letdown dramatically if he actually escaped *that* version of death by actually physically dying. So I guess I disagree with any criticisms about the ending. A "wrap it up" ending would have been the worse thing possible for this film. Why would we give an audience "closure" for a movie that's entirely about "lack of closure?" I agree and disagree. My initial reaction when I left the theater today is that the ending didn't matter because he was dead regardless. He knew that this was gonna be his last match one way or another. And he said that his life was wrestling. So without that, he is dead.

I just saw the movie, one of my favorite movies. This is stupid, but when I got home, I made, on my No Mercy Forever Indy mod. (I own the Game.) I made a Randy The Ram CAW and I'm pretty pleased with it, Ram Jam and all.
