Live in Chicago? Wanna see Mickey Rourke absolutely kick ass in THE WRESTLER? Capone has the details!!!

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.

Before I get into the last Chicago contest of 2008, let me talk about this Thursday's BENJAMIN BUTTON screening. I'll have the winners picked out and posted tonight, and hopefully get the emails out to the winners by tomorrow morning. I have not picked out all of the winners yet, but we had a ton of entries and I'm still going through them.

Okay. As promised, I have one more fantastic offering before the holidays kick in and shut the whole world down. People still roll their eyes at me when I speak glowingly about Mickey Rourke as Randy "The Ram" Robinson in Darren Aronofsky's THE WRESTLER. Those naysayers will be eating their own crap and the crap of many other people and animals when this movie is released and Rourke is rightfully given many an award nomination. The film (much like Rourke's career of late) is one of the great comeback stories of 2008, and we've got the exclusive Ain't It Cool News screening of THE WRESTLER just before Christmas.

The screening will take place on Monday, December 22 at 7:00 pm at a theater in downtown Chicago. We've got the whole theater to ourselves--about 200 seats to fill, so here's how you win:

Send me an e-mail to capone@aintitcoolmail.com with the subject line "RAM JAM". In the body of the email, I need your Name and whether or not you are bringing a Guest (you may bring one guest; I don't need his/her name), and the answer to the following two questions: What would your wrestling name be? And what would your power move be called. For example, in THE WRESTLER, The Ram's power move is the "Ram Jam." Two simple questions--if one answer is missing, your entry will be tossed. Winners will receive an email from me with the location details, and we'll post the names right here. ENTRIES NEED TO BE IN BY END OF THE DAY SATURDAY.

This is one of my favorite films of the year, featuring the absolute best male performance of 2008 from Mickey Rourke. And Marisa Tomei as an often-naked stripper isn't half bad either. Trust me on this with all your heart. You have never seen anything quite like THE WRESTLER. Good luck everyone!
