It kinda looks like a Tool album cover come to life. Also it looks kind of fucking spectacular.

― choinklate (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

Broken links tell me little, but...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

Um, that SHOULD take you to a place where you CHOOSE YR WEAPON, er, choose yr connection? Lemme try another maybe.

― choinklate (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

The link worked, getting any of the trailers to work was another matter.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

Oh fudgesickles.

― choinklate (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, hopefully a whole bunch of formats to view the trailer in.

The whole time this has been in production I thought he was making a movie of The Fountainhead which I was really, really pissed about, so that's a whole nother level on which I am really looking forward to this.

― choinklate (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

haha I didn't realize like 75 percent of those were Quicktime, d'oh!

― choinklate (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

I only just now read the thing about the $90mil version (starring Brad Pitt wtf) getting scrapped. Good, Hugh Jackman is way way awesomer.

― choinklate (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 July 2006 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

The WMP version worked for me.

Looks weird.

"holy crap this looks fucking awesome"

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Thursday, 13 July 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

haha, when i saw this thread title i transposed it as Fountainhead and thought the same thing.

― fongoloid sangfroid (sanskrit), Thursday, 13 July 2006 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

possibly my biggest hatred in life are people who read The Fountainhead and undergo some sort of 'awakening'. trust me, i can be an asshole just fine without any pseudo-philosophical justification. POS book.

I'm pretty sure I have a well-honed sense of the ridiculous, and The Dharma Bums finally broke what little interest I had in Kerouac, so...

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

i hadn't heard of this, but i clapped in the theater when i saw the trailer. something about a movie so ambitious and overwrought that is can't possibly succeed that just short circuits any critical facilities i might posses. I AM SO TOALLY PSYCHED!!!

there's some other movies coming out that fit this bill too: children of men, babel and i believe there's another i'm not thinking of.

zardoz recommendation taking seconded.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

seeing this next week, gonna try and score an int with aronofsky. hated requiem tho.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

I liked Requiem, but PI was meh and I suspect I am going to hate this if I see it at all.

I was already sold on this movie, but holy shit. Never has a tag-line been more appealing.

― the doaple gonger (nickalicious), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

yeah his movies combine pretentious and ponderous aspects in a particularly unappealing way - but you must admit he's perfect for this. can't you just see him 3 months into filming ranting to himself, as the exhausted cast and crew look on, about the kabalha, zen, physics, time travel, love, eternity etc and then his head explodes - onlookers barely acknowledging the carnage silently turn and return to their trailers for a nap. as i mentioned i'm incredibly psyched.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

i'm just interested in the nap.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

Worth reading interview with Aronofsky in current Wired

I can't wait to see this.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:08 (nineteen years ago)

did slocki ever see this?

― gear (gear), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

no i didn't... i saw the new verhoeven instead cuz i figured i'd catch this eventually.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

Then Aronofsky's team discovered the work of Peter Parks, a marine biologist and photographer who lives in a 400-year-old cowshed west of London. Parks and his son run a home f/x shop based on a device they call the microzoom optical bench. Bristling with digital and film cameras, lenses, and Victorian prisms, their contraption can magnify a microliter of water up to 500,000 times or fill an Imax screen with the period at the end of this sentence. Into water they sprinkle yeast, dyes, solvents, and baby oil, along with other ingredients they decline to divulge. The secret of Parks' technique is an odd law of fluid dynamics: The less fluid you have, the more it behaves like a solid. The upshot is that Parks can make a dash of curry powder cascading toward the lens look like an onslaught of flaming meteorites. "When these images are projected on a big screen, you feel like you're looking at infinity," he says. "That's because the same forces at work in the water – gravitational effects, settlement, refractive indices – are happening in outer space."

This sounds so incredible! First time I've ever gotten goosebumps reading about FX techniques!

ugh requiem for a dream. one of those movies i feel totally alone on, somehow. it's so immediately and thoroughly shitty and i only ever run into people who think it's great.

i thought pi had some good things in it, tho.

― geoff (gcannon), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

And you know, thank GOD Brad Pitt made the wrong move on this.

― polar bear flashback episode (nickalicious), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

Oh so is Nov. 22 really a for real release date!?! If I get to actually see this movie this month I might just shit myself right now.

― polar bear flashback episode (nickalicious), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

I like Requiem fine til the last 10 minutes, when it just gets sledgehammer silly.

The best reason I see to gamble on this one? 96 minutes long. Man, that would be a trend to save Hollywood.

"love story" with space yoga and conquistadors

Oh dear.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 04:08 (nineteen years ago)

I hate this guy. I kind of liked Pi at the time because it had the sort of aesthetic I used to be impressed by and plus it involved Hassidic Jews chasing a math genius for the secret of life and it wasn't a joke! I still kind of like the soundtrack.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 04:21 (nineteen years ago)

I saw "Pi" as the second-half of a double-header with Baseketball. The one night in high school nobody could locate weed...

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 04:24 (nineteen years ago)

the trailer looks like highlander + bicentennial man, but without robots or Queen.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 04:28 (nineteen years ago)

Even during the trailer I was saying to myself "Oh god, I can't believe this keeps going"

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 04:29 (nineteen years ago)

It's the kind of movie where The Mayan Warrior King is about to kill Jackman, but suddenly falls to his knees, offers his throat to Hugh's knife and shouts "You are the Great Father!"

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 05:38 (nineteen years ago)

Basically, it's about how a guy in a spaceship that looks like a smowglobe floats around looking for The Ineffable, Rachel Weiz or Whatever comes first.

It's epically bad. Magnificently bad. But alas, aside from the opening shot of a shaved head Jackman in lotus position floating in front of The Universe, not funny bad.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 05:42 (nineteen years ago)

The Snowglobe floating shots in the trailer had a touch of Slaughterhouse Five to them, it seemed.

does anyone like the ninth configuration as much as me? speaking of baffling wtf sci-fi oddities.

The Ninth Configuration vs. The Fifth Element

I've still only seen Ninth halfway through. It IS a very strange film.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:05 (nineteen years ago)

i hate the fifth element. and i like 99.9% of all sci-fi movies.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:06 (nineteen years ago)

the ninth configuration is a great stoner movie. and i have always had a fondness for those.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:07 (nineteen years ago)

pi-face totally should have made a movie out of that banks book that i liked so much, the bridge. why i thought of that, i don't know. it suits him. the highlander stuff belongs in someone else's hands. god, nothing beats highlander. poor me bonnie heather :(

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:11 (nineteen years ago)

Little stoner appeal, unless smoking a j so you can sit in a theater and look at mainly very dark images of Hugh Jackman's existentially tormented visage is your idea of trippy.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:25 (nineteen years ago)

I love Pi, but this sounds kind of hilariously bad in a curious way.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

And I bet it never EVER gets an airing in this country.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

Really, I so wanted to like it, being a big fan of Dream.

But it's the sort of movie where, 30 minutes in, you're like, Oh crap, this is it, this is all I'm gonna get, no actual story, no actual anything, really, and an hour in, you're like, Whoah--they lost a few reels and figured they'd cover the lapse with Clint Masell's score.

The clothes are nice.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:31 (nineteen years ago)

Hahah. I'm still kinda with Nickalish on this that it sounds batshit insane and thus good, but I know how that can disspaoint. I want to see it now though!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:37 (nineteen years ago)

disspaoint

Er. WTF. I'm tired.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:38 (nineteen years ago)

I read it as a parable of the righteous advance of white privledge.

In the 14th Century, all a regular white guy could expect was a tidy conquest or three.

In The Present, he can afford a cancer-stricken trophy wife and a great terrace pad in Manhattan.

I the Future, he will be able to drive a snowglobe spaceship by sheer white-mind-power and merge with The Infinite, which turns out to be an amber cloudy thingee.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:54 (nineteen years ago)

However, in all periods, he will have smashing outfits.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 06:55 (nineteen years ago)

Or, and as I mentioned, they lost a few reels of film.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

I still kind of like the soundtrack.

Oh yeah, wasn't it like a guy from Pop Will Eat Itself doing dn'b?

(I will not be seeing the Fountain OR reading the graphic novel.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

But are the universe-in-a-drop-of-water-with-dust scenes good? That's all I'm interested in.

I fucking hated Requiem..., so much so that I never really want to see anything by him again.

― S- (sgh), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:46 (nineteen years ago)

Ran across this review while doing my NRO scrounge. Best line:

Aronofsky seems to have some intriguing notions...about how time ceases to matter when one no longer faces the threat of death. But he’s too wrapped up in circle-of-life mysticism to fully develop them, and, as such, too much of the film plays like a dopey sci-fi Lion King.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:47 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah the Pi soundtrack was done by Clint Mansell and is rather the spooky D&B/cyberish feel. Also on the soundtrack is a buttload of other really great stuff like Autechre, Aphex, Roni Size, Massive Attack etc.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:56 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't mind Requiem. Compared to Pi I wasn't that enamoured by it in all honesty though, but it had some good bits. But it was too much of a visual/emotional hammering for me, and - like some Greenaway films - I dont know if I could watch it again.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:59 (nineteen years ago)

like all greenaway films

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 19:04 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

dopey sci-fi Lion King is kind of OTM.

So I loved this movie. Huge Ackman was great as usual (but I thought he delivered an especially fired-up performance in this - I like Brad Pitt but there is no way he could've played this role with such abandon), the movie could've done with a lot more Rachel Weisz though - she seemed more of a story element or prop than an actual character (which was sort of the point, I guess).

The most unexpected thing for me was the music - it was powerful, and actually seemed to SET the narrative pace, rather than follow it. Instead of working as an accent to the visuals and story, it seemed somehow...integrated.

It definitely had it's flaws though, in particular I think the one-sidedness of the love story made this more of a millenia-spanning lament on a "the one who got away" than a true romance.

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I thought the visual effects were brilliant, A+++++, would stare at again.

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

I completely forgot that I saw this...

Conquistador scenes were pretty great, but not enough to offset the dreary present-day timeline. In retrospect I wish that Aronofsky had just set the entire movie in the past.

One annoyance wrecked the entire movie for me though... The Orion Nebula (it was called Xibalba in the movie, but Xibalba is something else entirely) was constantly referred to as a place where stars die.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

The Orion Nebula is a place where STARS ARE CREATED.

― mahalo 4 ur kokua (grady), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

The conquistador scenes were the silliest, I thought. Not a success, not terrible (tho this is the first time I've seen Jackman, and he's pretty bad when he has to cry or throw a tantrum).

Two big-haired matrons behind me at a 42nd Street theater were blown away by it. One of them was going "The effects should be nominated, the music should be..." (Clint Mansell expanding that fanbase)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

Jackman was pretty good in the Prestige, better than I would've expected from Wolverine anyway...

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

however this movie looks beyond silly and I don't trust Aronofsky at all - really the only thing that interests me is the visual effects/space travel element of it. perhaps a renter...

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

The Xibalba mistake/lie is kind of hilarious, but not in a way which made me like this any less.

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

So i haven't read the thread for spoiler fear, but this is due out on friday. only it doesn't appear to be playing in any of sheffield's 3 cinemas. i thought it was out on general release?

Anybody know what up?

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe they don't feel Sheffield is ready for it. It's made it to a second week in Glasgow. Blimey, it was pretty outrageous, but as a colleague said, there were some nicely lit close-ups of Rachel Weisz's face.

The score was HORRID. I didn't realise till afterwards that it was bloody Pop Will Eat Itself doing it. And DA's visual style is just so horribly Athena posterly lurid. Not for me.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 5 February 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

this came and went so fast in SF I didn't even know it was out.

so is his career over? (please say yes)

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 5 February 2007 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't realise till afterwards that it was bloody Pop Will Eat Itself doing it.

Doesn't that dude do all of Aronofsky's soundtracks?

― N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Monday, 5 February 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

Yes he does. The score was probably my favorite thing about this movie, actually - I have grown to love it and listen to it pretty frequently (the OST). It is quite...dismal though.

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Monday, 5 February 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

I just found the idea of Hugh Jackman playing a conquistador kind of funny...but not funny enough to watch the movie.

― N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Monday, 5 February 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

Mogwai are on the soundtrack too, I think. (Which may or may not be a selling point.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 5 February 2007 19:40 (nineteen years ago)

First you see Jackman in a lotus position against the stars.

Then you see he's inside a giant snowblobe floating in space with a dead tree in it.

Then you realize there's still about ninety minutes to go.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Monday, 5 February 2007 23:15 (nineteen years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

six months pass...

I've just watched this. I liked looking at it, plus it had a few things I ilke to see in movies: snow, huge close-ups of writing and lingering shots of Rachel Weisz's face.

It was shorter and not anywhere near as draggy and overblown as I'd feared. But it could have done with Neil from the Young Ones going "we plant the seed, nature grows the seed, and then we eat the seed".

― DavidM, Saturday, 1 September 2007 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

Reminded me of a Ketamine experience. I liked the movie, but I understand why so many on this thread didn't.

The Orion mistake/lie thing upthread reminded me of a science friend of mine telling me he wailed out loud when they got to the "type of fusion" human bodies/batteries part of the Matrix - completely ruined the film for him. Kind of makes me happy I don't know shit about science, really.

― rockapads, Saturday, 1 September 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

I think this got a week in 2 cinemas in Melbourne. So I never got round to seeing it (tho I'd kind of meant to). Maybe I'll get it out on DVD some time when I'm bored.

The visuals weren't even that good. They were nice for a few seconds, and that was it. God this was indeed awful.

― S-, Thursday, 1 November 2007 06:24 (eighteen years ago)

I thought it was okay. If all the hippie mumbo jumbo had been cut off, it might've even been great. Still, gotta give props for Aronofsky for having the balls to do something so outrageous. This was definitely better than Requiem, which was basically just a long "Drugs Are Bad" pamphlet in a pretty coating.

Am I the only one who totally didn't realize the bald guy in the globe was supposed to be some space traveller in the distant future, and the globe was his spaceship? Because nowhere in the movie was this mentioned, it was only when I read the DVD back cover after watching the film that I found it out. I though he was just meditating and having visions or something.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 1 November 2007 06:53 (eighteen years ago)

I think this may actually be the worst film I have ever watched. At least Tiptoes made me lol last week, this is just so fucking ugly and overblown and all of the diagogue is ridiculously shitty and over the top like no-one actually speaks to each other but it is all just watchmen style 'everything we say is important even though it is most probably wrong and definitely stupid (but we don't know this)' and eurgh.

― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 2 September 2009 19:45 (sixteen years ago)

yeah, seriously. i've seen movies that i hated or just didn't care for, but this movie actually inspired a visceral "fuck you" feeling.

― whitney HOOSton (latebloomer), Wednesday, 2 September 2009 19:47 (sixteen years ago)

why the fuck is it called the fountain when it should actually be called the tree? there is no bloody fountain.

― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 2 September 2009 19:55 (sixteen years ago)

hugh jackman just became a tree, which kind of redeems it from "worst movie ever" to just "eurgh, what a shit movie".

― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 2 September 2009 20:01 (sixteen years ago)

In 1999, Darren Aronofsky and actor Jared Leto saw The Matrix together. Aronofsky said he had mused after seeing the film, "What kind of science fiction movie can people make now?"

the inquisition without sweaters and crying would be pretty lame imo
