Aronofsky's 'The Wrestler' wins at Venice

[Kage]

The Fountain flopped and now he wins big. I'll be interested to see this movie, but I haven't liked anything Aronofsky's done since Pi.

Pi was pretentious bullshit, to say the least.


The Fountain ruled; looking forward to seeing this.

[Kage]

you've got it backwards

[Apocalyptic Raids]

still haven't seen any aronofsky stuff.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Everything this guy does is pretentious and not good.

[niobium]

pi is definitely overrated best to watch without great expectations

i only saw requiem once, powerful

haven't seen the fountain, don't care, etc

you've got it backwards

naw

[EightMilesHigh]

The Fountain was ok, Pi was good, still need to see Requiem.

[CarnageFairy]

I tried to watch fountain with some friends but their lame asses were bored.

Also drugs were involved so I think we ended up watching saving private ryan or law and order or something :(

But. I saw most of Pi and it was cool. Requiem was well made but sorta cheesy.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

The Fountain was ok, Pi was good, still need to see Requiem.
Yeah, an I was like "hey". What, bro c'mon !!!

[Meatplow]

i have a strong dislike of Pi

[bradc1988]

I enjoyed Requiem, I should watch some of his other stuff.

[Kif]

I don't think he can make a movie about wrestling more pretentious than the Fountain. I'll check it out.

[Tillius]

I've quite enjoyed all of his stuff so far and have been reading about this. I'm looking forward to it.

[elmntrs]

lets try and set a record for the most uses of the word pretentious in a thread

[Knifeboy]

good thing pretentious doesn't necesarilly mean bad, or else this guy would be up (down?) there with uwe boll

[Rams]

I hope he doesn't screw up The Fighter. Apparently it doesn't show any of the Gatti-Ward fights so it probably will suck.

[talk show host]

It doesn't sound all that interesting. I'll see it though cause i've liked everything Aronofsky's done so far and apparently Mickey Rourke is excellent in it.

[willfellmarsy]

Gotta see Pi but this should be goood

[willfellmarsy]

pretentious

[mos]

why would you waste your time emulating a scene instead of doing your own

[thedeadwalk!]

Reading its premise on IMDB, you could easily slap Will Ferrell's name on it and no one would be surprised.

[Strum]

why would you waste your time emulating a scene instead of doing your own

I'm not even going to bother explaining it to you

[Kage]

why not?

[Amit]
