Why Did Mickey Rourke Win A Golden Globe?

[Parche]

He is one of the biggest nifnods out there....:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :hi:

[Sultana]

1. Good acting in that film he acting in

:shrug:

[Connonym]

2. you try going out in public with his face and acting like you're not hideous

that takes talent!

[trof]

3. WTF is a nifnod?

[Graybeard]

4. I thought his acceptance was terrific.

He was very funny and even thanked his dogs for sticking with him through tough times. Now I want to see the movie.

[dawgmom]

5. Because Hollywood loves a comeback

They eat their own, and they crush them into the dirt when they fall from the heights, but if one of their own manages to claw his/her way back to success, they love it and reward it.

6. It certainly was NOT because he's HAWT

:scared:

[dawgmom]

7. Mutant looking

Men should definitely not have facial plastic surgery (and most women). But on men -- I don't think I've ever seen major work that looked good.

[Parche]

9. The Mutant

:woohoo: :hi:

[dawgmom]

10. He looks pretty good compared to Mickey....nt

[Forkboy]

8. He seems like an idiot, but he CAN act.

Angel Heart, Barfly, even in Sin City. I just spoke to someone over the weekend who said he was amazing in The Wrestler.

He just signed to be in Iron Man 2.

11. Mickey Rourke has done some great work. But his off-screen reputation, like Eric Roberts', ruined

his career.

Did you ever see Coppola's "RumbleFish", Parker's "Angel Heart", or Cimino's "Year of the Dragon"?

Dude, there was nothing wrong with his acting. He just sabotaged his own career by his own behavior, and it's good to see him back. And it's good to see Eric Roberts has finally recovered from the trauma and insanity making of Bob Fosse's "Star 80."

12. And he's probably going to win the Oscar, too.

I have yet to see the movie but I heard he's really good in it.

[rcrush]

13. Because God sees you touch yourself at night.

:evilgrin:

[trof]

14. Am I on ignore? I ask again. WHAT'S A NIFNOD?????????????

Educate me, please?

[skygazer]

17. I googled it but all I got was this

It's not much help.... :shrug:

[Parche]

21. a nifnod is like a swaznocker but not the same

:hi:

[sasquatch]

15. Mickey Rourke says: "That's a mighty fine coat you're wearing."

:P

[trof]

16. But to answer your question...

I have no idea.
Especially since he's a nifnod.
No intellectual foundation, no obvious definition?

18. A friend of mine gave me a DVD screener of the movie "The Wrestler"

My wife and I watched it tonight.

He deserved the award for his performance in that movie and I hope he gets an Oscar

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Because his performance in The Wrestler was great.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. Did you just puke on yourself?

:D :hi:

[crimsonblue]

22. You obviously didn't see "The Wrestler"

It's a great movie. Rourke is a good actor; he could have been a great one had he not passed up on so many amazing roles in the 90s.

[cynatnite]

23. His performance was awesome despite his being a nifnod n/t
