Here’s the new poster for Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming movie, The Wrestler.  Whether you like him or not, Aronofsky is a visionary with a very unique style, and so far the critics have praised both the movie and Mickey Rourke’s performance.  From what I’ve read, Rourke’s character peaked in the 80s, back when wrestling wasn’t “sports entertainment” and wrestlers would beat the hell out of anyone who suggested it was fake.  My legs still hurt from the figure-four The Fabulous Moolah slapped on me.
