The languid, deceptively simple poster for Lars von Trier's new film Melancholia works effectively on several different levels.
The movie is about the reaction of depressed newlywed Kirsten Dunst to the impending end of the world. A "rogue planet" that has been hiding behind the sun is about to hit the earth.
Von Trier's film is intended to illustrate his theory that people with depression react more calmly to awful events because they already expect everything that happens to them to be awful.

“I took an internship at Democracy Now and I started following current events a little bit closer and reading a few books and just getting interested in this idea of collapse. And just playing with this idea of dropping everything, moving to the woods and starting over.

Whether it was hubris or humility that drove Rourke to walk away from acting 17 years ago and resume the boxing career he began as a teenage welterweight out of Miami, only to return a decade and several concussions later with his hat in hand and little goodwill on his side, the fact remains that the film industry, despite its lack of anything resembling conventional wisdom, can sometimes show flashes of unwitting intelligence and allow a second act. Because actors like Mickey Rourke don't come along once in a generation, let alone twice.Sometimes when a man's alone, all you got are your dogs and they meant the world to me.If I didn't already love Mickey Rourke before, I have tons of love for him now. Fellas, this is how you successfully balance your manly side with your feminine side. And he's a PETA supporter.
