The Wrestler Premiere

They rolled out the red carpet in LA on Thursday for this great little picture about a trailer park dwelling worn down professional wrestler. So why is it that the movie, which has been completed for months, still doesn't have a trailer or poster (well OK, sort of) and won't premiere for the moviegoing public for another 39 days. Studio release strategies are so irritating. Here are future Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke, my imaginary girlfriend Marisa Tomei, Darren Aronofsky and Evan Rachel Wood at the premiere.

I suspect you'll be seeing a lot of them this awards season.
I still rejoice that the buzz on Rourke proved so justified.
I wonder why ERW is still trying so hard to be goth, post Marilyn Manson breakup?

That elusive poster in not so good quality...
