"I mean, if I knew it would take me 15 years to get back in the saddle and work again because of the way I handled things, I really would have handled things differently. I just didn't have the tools. I'm doing things differently this time around -- understanding what it is to be a professional, be responsible and to be consistent. Those are things that weren't in my vocabulary back then. Change for me didn't come easy; I didn't wanna change until I lost everything, until I realized that you better change, or, you know, blow your ****ing brains out. -Mickey Rourke doing press, sorting it out, proving that it is never over until it's over.

The best-known role of the Masher, besides his turn in the feature film Hammerlock, is his interpretation of the Villian in Cape Fear, played so well by the greats Robert Mitchum and Robert De Niro. Well-done, ES!

Pure. Comedy. Gold.

These days you have to cobra-quick to not get caught up in the madness that has become celebrity. I mean everyone is getting their 15 minutes or more, often for doing..nothing. Well in this case that's not entirely true. She does look good and apparently that's enough these days. (BTW folks, she is 21 so don't get all judgemental unless you absolutely have to.

A little Hollywood Nostalgia for your Wednesday. Enjoy.

Maybe there is a God.

How old do you think actress Summer Bishil is? This still is taken from the still 

distributor-less Alan Ball film Nothing is Sacred. Bonus if you can guess her

ethnic background and a double-bonus if you can guess the name of the book the film is based on.

 This is interesting. Suppose it had went the other way? If an icon falls in the studio, does he or she make a sound?

Earnie Salinas is one of the most intense, fearless actors I have seen in a long time. He has a great resume and has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, including the action-flick Hammerlock. Check out his riveting piece from the classic film Cape Fear. Amazing.

Nancy Berger has been acting for some time and delivers a Sunset Boulevard-esque piece that has power and depth. She has actually been contacted by producers working on a pilot for television from this performance! Well-done Ms. Berger.
