Go, Rob Siegel (and Wrestler), Go!
Posted by maggie

OK, this isn't about comics, but I just had to gloat!

In days long gone by, I occasionally caught glimpses of Rob Siegel at the Madison offices of the revered weekly The Onion. He was a wordsmith par excellence -- and a good buddy of Thompson Offspring Stephen. Long before Stephen left The Onion, Rob had made his exit to New York, where he polished his output even more.

And the most recent evidence?

How about the Golden Lion prize for The Wrestler at the Venice Film Festival? How about an all-night bidding war for rights to distribute the movie in America? You go, Rob!

Here's a report on the film, which stars Mickey Rourke and is directed by Darren Aronofsky.
