More "The Wrestler" Coverage
I don't know when this became Unofficial "The Wrestler" Week on Robot Sweatshop, but whatever. Here's a clip of Mickey Rourke on Jimmy Kimmel Live, with a special guest (hint: he often wears kilts and kicked ass in They Live).
I Want to Buy This So Bad But Know I Shouldn't Dept.: "Street Fighter IV" Joysticks
All things Street Fighter have been whetting my appetite something fierce since I was about 12 years old. (Man that was an awkward sentence...and dare I leave it in? I DARE!) With Street Fighter IV just around the corner, my psyched meter is rapidly rising. I've preordered the Collector's Edition and, yes, bought a Ryu action figure today -- but I really, really, really want one of these insanely awesome officially-licensed SFIV joysticks by Mad Catz. Let's browse, shall we?
This, the "Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition," is seriously hardcore. Priced at $169.99, the buttons and joystick are made out of the same high-quality materials as the actual arcade cabinet's, and it has some other bells and whistles. This is definitely out of my price range, but I can still stare and yearn and crave.
This beaut (no idea how to spell that, but I like to talk like a southern used car salesman sometimes), the "Street Fighter IV FightStick," will run you about $69.99. It's made of less expensive materials than its fancy cousin, and it's not as sturdy, but word is it'll do the job. And it looks rad.
Fortunately, there is a less expensive option for those of us lesser (and poorer) nerds: the "Street Fighter IV Fightpad," a $39.99 controller with a specially-designed digital pad, and the classic Street Fighter 6-button layout on the face of the controller. I'll probably end up getting one of these (either with Ryu or Akuma as the featured character), as I really hate playing Street Fighter with the PS3 controller...plus I'm a fan of the arts!
In the end, remember: Whatever special controller you or I are suckered into buying because we're feeling momentarily excited about a stupid videogame, the real power...is in all of us.

The Wrestler II: Life Imitating Art Imititating Life???
So I gave The Wrestler 5 out of 5 staple-guns or 5 out of 5 Cinderella power ballads I can't exactly remember. Naturally, I had to post this article. Can we please discuss this? Is this a classic case of not leaving well enough alone or is this a fun retranslation/extension of a great performance? Do we need a sequel where Mickey Rourke gets fitted with a glorious cybersuit and is sent to fight crime on the moon?

Rourke ready to rumble in Houston
AP – Actor Mickey Rourke arrives at the 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009, in … HOUSTON – Listen up wrestlin' fans: actor Mickey Rourke says he's ready to rumble with WWE superstar Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 25 in Reliant Stadium on April 5.
Rourke portrays professional wrestler Randy the Ram in the acclaimed movie "The Wrestler."
He's signed to wrestle Jericho, for real.
He made a surprise announcement Sunday night on the red carpet before the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.
He said he was pleased by the acceptance of the movie by all the WWE wrestlers — except Jericho.
Then Rourke said he was going to toss Jericho "around the ring like tossed salad."
Meanwhile, Jericho, appearing on WWE television, said, Rourke was out of line and that he was offended by Rourke's comments. He said Rourke made "a mistake."
"The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps"
Donovan was in my dreams last night... not in a creepy way but definitely an omnipresent way. I've spent far too much time looking for a London Town video, but the first is one of my favorites by him, and the other... well... I've always hoped a roly poly man would sing songs of love.
