07.16.09 I LOVE MICKEY ROURKE, PART 1000
Mickey Rourke is the most hilariously candid person in Hollywood, the awesome uncle you never had. You can just see him bellying up to the bar and being like, “Make ya a deal, son, you buy us a drink and I’ll tell ya aaall about the trouble with the Orientals.” He recently talked Iron Man 2 and was awesome as usual:
Rourke, for his part, wanted to instill some lightness into the role. “I told Favreau, ‘I don’t want to just play him as a one-dimensional p—-,’” he says. “He let me have a cockatoo, who I talk to and get drunk with while I’m making my suit.” [EW via Cinematical]
I like to picture Mickey Rourke doing his lines, and then in the middle of a scene throwing down his script in disgust. “Aw hell, this crap’s too one dimensional! But I know how to fix it: Fetch me a fifth of bourbon, and a parrot!“ And they’ll do it. Because it’s Mickey Rourke. He can bring a tear to your eye, because you know you’ll be seeing not just a drunk Russian yelling at his parrot, but his humanity.

I LOVE MICKEY ROURKE, PART 1000
I don’t believe in heroes, but I believe in Mickey Rourke.
So Whips and a cock or two…
This sounds more and more like the worse dominatrix film to date.
I trying to teach my parrot to say “I’m a pirate, arrrgh!” and “Tweet chirp tweet” and if that little fucker doesn’t get ta learnin’ it’s gonna see what the inside of the microwave looks like when the light comes on.
Ironically, it does the microwave’s beeps perfectly.
Comicon just got a whole helluva lot more interesting.
When Mickey Rourke smiles, the world smiles with him. Except for Jenna Jameson, who accuses him of being a copycat.
Kinda like have a poodle called “Precious” to talk to whilst making your “suit”?…
He’s a cool guy and all but I’m not sure I agree with how he spells his last name.
If Mickey Rourke was a childrens game, he’d be KerPlunk!
I just wish I had a parrot, some liquor, a girlfriend, friends, or a life for that matter
Sure, animals all love you when you fill your ear canal with birdseed.
After a few shots he will catch his farts in his hand and throw them in your face.
BTK, Mickey Rourke Part 1,000 would be an awesome name for a “reimagining” of Multiplicity.
I just don’t think I can handle the heartache if cockatoo went the way of Loki.
Methinks Mickey Rourke loves animals a little too much, if he has to get the parrot drunk in order to have his fun.
IT’S EITHER BESTIALITY OR MISPLACED MODIFIERS, AND I CAN’T DECIDE WHICH IS WORSE!
Women come on and go, but a parrot. Yeah, they’re forever.
