He's just not as good as people say....

I still like him, though.

Still haven't checked out The Fountain, though it's on my computer. Someone convince me.

Other people who saw Black Swan: was their laughter in your audience? If so, when?

I saw it at a Regal Cinema in a room the size of a barn, because it was the only theater showing it at 1AM. It was a pretty full room. The audience laughed hardest when Portman bit Whathisname's lip ("I can't believe you bit me!") and when Portman realized she was masturbating in front of her sleeping mother.

A friend of mine saw the movie at a festival screening in Philly awhile ago, and people laughed there as well. Aronofsky was there for a Q&A, and apparently he said the laughter confused him and he wasn't sure how he felt about it.

Edit: Just wondering if there were common laugh moments across all audiences, or something.

The Fountain was total garbage almost redeemed by interesting low budget special effects.

The Wrestler was pretty much the best Aronofsky movie, though I liked the Fountain (not as a "good movie", but as the end of a trainwreck, it was interesting to see).

I will see Black Swan whenever it gets to Cleveland.

Haha man, Gaspar Noé has to be the most unsubtle director of all times, and I love him for it.

[Dracko]

The Fountain made a better comic than a film, yeah.

gaspar noe is really like the french aronofsky, and i have very little patience for either of them. into the void does look kind of good, though

You guys should watch Big Fan to get a better idea of how much of The Wrestler came from its writer. It's a good movie, similar in ways to The Wrestler but also an homage to Paul Schrader films.

Ad for Black Swan in the Willamette Week says in select theaters Dec. 10 so I'm guessing it'll come to Portland by then???

There's also an advanced screening but all the passes seem to have been handed out it seems.

Enter the void = a shitty irresponsible requiem for a dream with no psychological nuance

[Baseballkappe]

Are you implying that Requiem for a Dream has, of all things, psychological nuance?

since when did requiem become a bad/uncool movie? my impression was that it was the only worthwhile thing aronofsky's ever done (aside from filming monica bellucci mostly naked)

[Dracko]

it is the worst

My high school didn't shut up about Requiem for two years, so that's where my contempt comes from.

You shouldn't let that affect your own opinion

Nuance

[Isfet]

having seen Enter the Void twice now, i can say that the only real complaint i have against it is that some of the shots could probably have been edited down a bit. it works really well on a large screen the first time you see it, as it's sort of disorienting (much like a lot of the film), but i found myself getting impatient between transitions into the lights in the rooms.

it's not a subtle movie in the least, but i'm not sure it's supposed to be torture porn either.

as a friend texted me during the film (upon his first viewing), "i'm glad they put that shot in "Void" of the penis cumming in the vagina cause i had no idea what those two characters were doing"


Black Swan looks...all right. i'll see it because Natalie Portman/Mila Kunis

[boojiboy7]

I saw Requiem in the theater when it came out and never really ran into too many people that had watched it outside of this forum, so that might be why I can still like it. Calling it nuanced at all is a bit amusing though, since it is clearly meant as an assault, and works pretty well as such. Not subtle, but pretty effective. A little too overreliant on Aronofsy-isms, but I expected that after Pi (which was a film worth seeing, but had a ton of issues script-wise).

[Isfet]

yea, Big Fan is surprisingly entertaining

Enter the Void should test anyone's patience eventually, but all in all it's a good film, and a great-looking one.

I had hoped it would be even better than Irreversible, but I would say that it is not.

Irreversible is a better film than anything else mentioned on this page.
