Don't let Mickey Rourke's appearance as a Whip Clad Russian prisoner fool you, if you ask the right guy, maybe lets say Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, your likely to find out that Mickey Rourke is a pretty nice guy.

“Mickey sat down next to me and we just talked about the movie and Iron Man and Marvel characters and just life in general,” Quesada states. “He’s a very, very cool guy. I found him incredibly warm and engaging.”

Rourke has had his low moments in his career, after showing huge amounts of promise in the 80's only to cool out in the 90's and then roaring back on to the big screen with “Sin City” and “The Wrestler.” These days Mickey Rourke is planning on continuing his success by signing on to a highly popular mainstream movie franchise in Iron Man.

“I think during his career, he had movies people were saying were going to be huge hits but turned out to be more cultish, critically acclaimed movies,” states the Editor-in-Chief. “So he seemed really, really happy to be at ‘Iron Man 2,’ doing a movie he knew a lot of people were going to see and doing a movie that he looked like he was having fun filming.”

Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada did not stop the praise at Mickey Rourke, he has loads of admiration for actress Gwyneth Paltrow and director Jon Favreau. Although, Quesada’s own fan boy moment happened with Iron Man himself.

“There were several times when we were watching playback and Robert was sitting next to me,” he remembered. “I kept looking over and thinking to myself, not so much that I was sitting next to Robert Downey, Jr., but that I was sitting next to Tony Stark. I know, I know, I'm such a friggin’ nerd it’s sickening.”

I don't have anything to say about the article. However I would like to make mention of the fact that there appears to be a lot of seriously good comedy posted in these comments. I cracked up so hard about THEHAWK's first comment that I actually started to get dizzy.
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 6/25/2009, 11:30 AM
I thought Gilbert was glum cause Betty lost the gimp?
THEPHOENIX
THEPHOENIX - 6/25/2009, 11:33 AM
Belive it or not from his posts but we don't have a gimp, and i'm starting to get uncomfortable... I'm gonna go stare at Leee's "Ackles for Cap" vid some more!
Shaman
Shaman - 6/25/2009, 11:37 AM

I dunno if it's a prototype or not, but I liked the way Rourke looked in the costume. Altho he DOES look a little unprotected....
THEPHOENIX
THEPHOENIX - 6/25/2009, 11:42 AM

SirJediFrank
SirJediFrank - 6/25/2009, 11:49 AM
well at least you made me look in the dictionary wth does "gimp" means:
gimp [gimp]
noun (plural gimps)
1. difficulty in walking: difficulty in walking, caused by injury or stiffness (informal)
2. offensive term: an offensive term for somebody with a physical challenge, especially somebody who has difficulty walking or who uses a wheelchair (slang)
3. clumsy person: somebody regarded as clumsy or ineffectual (slang insult) (often considered offensive)

intransitive verb (past and past participle gimped, present participle gimp·ing, 3rd person present singular gimps)
walk with difficulty: walk with difficulty (informal)
----

so i kind of don´t get it. :{

Sometimes, all it takes is a stiff, clumsy paraplegic to bring you comfort. The beauty and the gimp. Now that's a concept, i'm a get Fox on the phone and get a bundle.

What if i didn't like the sack of shit you guys reffer to as Pulp Fiction... does that make me the anti-christ??? No wonder i liked Chyna's Vagina... *grabs chin with two fingers in ponderation*

Shaman, I'm pretty sure that's the plot for the next X-Men movie X-Men Origins:Xavier.
Shaman
Shaman - 6/25/2009, 12:39 PM
DAMN!!! They're everywhere!!! FOX is madagascarian for KGB!!! They know what you'll think before you think of thinking it!!! CURSSEZZZZ!!! *shakes fist*
THEPHOENIX
THEPHOENIX - 6/25/2009, 12:43 PM
Easy there Mojo. I'm sure they will make it to where Xavier was put in the chair after one fateful night with Chuck Norris ;) who in the FOX universe is actually Apocalypse, even though Chuck is really the Beyonder.
Shaman
Shaman - 6/25/2009, 1:00 PM
Chuck eats the beyonder for christmas.
