Infrequent Dose of Hubba-hubba: Mickey Rourke…Oh Mickey, you’re so fine…hey Mickey!
Wish you’d've won. Sorry if siding with “people like us” hurt your chances. Your acceptance speech at the Independent Spirit Awards kicked Sean Penn’s Oscar speech’s ass across town, into the next state, then right back to Venezuela where it belonged.
You were one of the bad scary boys of my youth. Congrats to both of us for making it out of the 80s. I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you…
love & kisses,
wanks
You met Mickey Rourke? OK that trumps Gerard Butler anyday…back then Mickey was the man…..
“I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you…” “You met Mickey Rourke?”
Maybe she means when she first noticed him in her youth? Wankette will definately have to clarify.
I met Heather Locklear when she was on T.J. Hooker. Does that count for anything? Of course, I totally drooled and stammered. I’m sure she thought I was a stalker.
It’s a line in the Human League’s “Don’t you want me?”
Timmy I don’t know a guy who grew up in the 80’s who didn’t drool and stammer when they saw Heather Locklear. And I now understand where Wank’s might be going with this…..

Yes, exactly right; I use that line in conversation so often I don’t think to put it in quotes.
No need to Dear W.
I knew exactly what you were talking about… but alas, we were separated at birth.
And HELLO Mickey! You were so fine back then. Sigh.
Thanks for the reminder that he was a bad boy toy at one time. Mercy.
Mickey is the man! Who else could pull off 9 1/2 Weeks and Barfly within just a few years of each other?
I guess if he wanted to win the Oscar, his ISA acceptance speech should have been a repeat of his speech from Spun (warning, language DEFINITELY NSFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OT8aKYV_1k
Rumble Fish was where I noticed him first. Real impressive.

And what a cast that thing had:

To all my friiieeeeennds!
Rumble Fish is severely underrated. The mighty Stewart Copeland’s debut as a score composer, too, if memory serves correctly. “Don’t Box Me In,” classic.
“And if sometimes I can’t seem to talk
You’ll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk”
“And HELLO Mickey! You were so fine back then. Sigh”
Darling June! you gave me a great idea. Can’t believe I missed it. Check out the new thread title!
Now that was a GREAT SONG!
A thread about Mickey Rourke and no mention of the classic schlockfest of a movie “Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man“?? For shame!! Yes, I admit, I liked this movie. I don’t know why.
