Looks amazing.

kinda looks like something i've seen before. I liked The Fountain and RFAD so I'll check this out anyway

Cheebs · « **Reply #3 on:** November 21, 2008, 01:50:10 PM »

I can't stand wrestling and people who enjoy it but this movie looks fantastic, I can't wait.

It's pretty much the life story of Jake the Snake, where if you ever saw the excellent documentary "Beyond the Mat" (quite posisbly one of the best documentaries ever), the story was in that.

This looks phenomenal though.

can't fucking wait, great trailer, I know this movie is just gonna destroy me

I love Aaronofsky and I'm so glad he seems to have finally hit it out of the fucking park

Forgetting the fact that Aronofsky is a good director and the movie looks good on it's own merits, I was sold when I was told the "Marisa Tomei plays stripper" bit.

Dude. Watch "Before the Devil knows You're Dead". She spends a solid 60% of it topless.

Also, great trailer. I kept noticing how character-cemtric the trailer was, everyone was right smack in the middle of the frame.

I will probably watch and enjoy this, but damn is it unafraid to bring the cliches.

But the blond fattie in Boogie Nights is givin' it to her doggie style

I'd heard about this movie before, but never really saw anything from it until now. WOW. I'll definitely have to go see this when it comes out.

did you just call fuckin' Phillip fuckin' Seymour fuckin' Hoffman "the blond fattie"?

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #13 on:** November 21, 2008, 03:31:45 PM »

Great trailer. Damn Mickey Rourke is ripped up in this movie. Aronofsky's movie "Pi" is also worth a watch

Sysgen · « **Reply #14 on:** November 21, 2008, 03:47:24 PM »

Pi was great, I saw Requiem for a Dream 5 times already and I thought The Fountain was very good. Can't wait to see this.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15 on:** November 21, 2008, 03:48:06 PM »

I don't see how anyone could watch RFAD five times. Great movie but it's too depressing

Such a well done movie with tremoundous human drama. It's a masterpiece.

Pfft. Seen it! And more importantly, seen THEM! And they're fantastic.
