When I caught Gregor Jordan’s “The Informers” at the Santa Barbara Film Festival earlier this year, I had one of those “Hey, neat-o” moments when I noticed both Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger were part of the film’s ensemble. Granted, the two never share the screen and each part is minuscule, but it was a slightly intriguing throwback to the 1980s amid all the decadence of that era on display in the film (which I quite liked, however bizarre and critically ravaged). But then I saw a shot of the two attending the Los Angeles premiere of the film and I got, I don’t know…sad.

In other news, people age.
If you can’t see the point being made vis-a-vis plastic surgery, I don’t know what to tell you Daniel.
In Hollywood, people never age – they just become less human.
Glad to hear you liked The Informers, Kris. I dug it too. Surprised at how loud the negative reaction out of Sundance was. Sure some folks I talked to at the premiere didn’t care for it but it’s definitely not the worst movie ever. I thought Renfro was really good. Such a shame.
Wow. Tough break.
Glad to know their friendly now.
Er… am I the only one who thinks Kim Basinger still looks amazing, plastic surgery or not?
Wow. That is a little sad.
It’s unfair to cast Basinger in the same boat as the freakshow that is Rouke.
I cannot wait to see the Informers this friday!
Basinger still looks like the same person thereabouts. If Rourke ’86 and Rourke ’09 were cast in a movie today as father and son I’d laugh at how dissimilar they look and how unrealistic they were with the casting.
