   THE WRESTLER banner

As much as I loved the fake trailers for Tarantino & Rodriguez's GRINDHOUSE, looking at this thing down there kinda makes me feel that's exactly what they should've done - take well-known movies and turn them into gritty 70s-ploitation B films.

So someone used Aronofsky's acclaim-showered THE WRESTLER  and re-imagined it as a crazed-psycho-killer tale that would've convinced me had I not known what the actual film is. Almost as great as the SHINING comedy trailer.

Just in almost-time for Halloween, have a look and enjoy Mickey Rourke as a "broken down piece of meat". Thanks to the Slash Film bunch for the find.

Extra Tidbit: I probably said it a bunch of times but Marisa Tomei looks killer-good even at 45. Wonder if she still digs bald guys.
