With all the great hub bub for Mickey Rourke and Darren Aronofsky for his new film The Wrestler, I just want to quickly say one thing. Can all you higher than thou critics and reviewers please stop bashing The Fountain while you praise this new Aronofsky flick? “The Fountain” was great, albeit an acquired taste. To most simple minds, it was merely an onslaught of colors and visions, a mere cinematography clusterfuck. If these simpletons would only truly immerse themselves in the plot of the story, they would realize its achievements. Sure, it is not Requiem, or even Pi. So fucking what? PTA’s three best films are, in order, There Will Be Blood, Magnolia, and Boogie Nights, but that doesn’t keep me from realizing Punch-Drunk Love is also a great movie and would be some of the best work of a different auteur’s entire career.
Do you need a mattress?
Hopefully this new version Aronofsky is spitting out in who knows how many years will bring new life to these naysayers.
Anton,
I just saw Rocknrolla and loved it! At the end Guy made a reference to a sequel, any idea when it’s release date is?
When are we going to see DDL next?

DDL will next be seen in “Nine,” a musical by “Chicago” fame Rob Marshall. He plays Guido Contini, and famous film director balancing his career with the many women in his life. Listen to this actress all-star cast: Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Penelepe Cruz, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren. This is set up as yet another instant classic for DDL. And he is playing against his recent character type. Release date: Thanksgiving 2009. The man can do no wrong.
Have you seen the trailer for this:
Inglourious Basterds
Holy shit, I can’t wait.
Saw it yesterday. Must say, I did not like the trailer at all. QT made it seem like he was making a horribly acted flick.
However, I am still very excited. On paper, QT script + WW2 plot outline can only equal greatness.
I only question his B.J. Novack selection. Other than that, looks solid.
