Are you trailer editors listening? I've been ranting about this for years now! Cut that shyt out!

I have to agree. I do not buy for a second that this is Holmes. My cheese is sad because I love both Downey Jr. and Jude Law.

I absolutely loved The Wrestler. I grew up watching WWF so my standards were pretty high on that end. I was tickled at the terminology and the inside peek at how they pull it off (however inaccurate or fictionalized, I wouldn't know, but it's the closest we'll get.) I bet the reason they did not get ANY past wrestlers on board (and those guys are attention whores, making it extra surprising) was simply because they were honest about the faking. I also had a wake-up moment when he cut himself because I'd seen plenty of blood in the ring but always thought it was fake blood. Really realistic fake blood...but now I know what I was really watching and it's changed my perspective quite a bit.

Everything else was fantastic too, very realistic, and damn, Marisa Tomei is now the ultimate MILF. I hope I look half as good at her age.
