no love for mila kunis?

definitely but she never gets nekkid, even forgetting sarah marshall had a fake of her boobs

Portman's looking pretty haggard, all that vegetarianism or whatever diet fad she subscribes to has accelerated her "use by" date.

Oh yeah and aranofsky's pretty much a hack as jefferoo said. This looks laughable, especially the limo scene. But Portman being abused sounds good, just wish the director was Von Trier.

Vincent Cassel is amazing.

Definitely true. I'd turn for him.

I won't be able to enjoy this movie with Meg Griffin's voice on the face of a beautiful actress.

why do you guys think aronofsky is a hack?

the wrestler was really good. the fountain was really not that good. this looks interesting

pi, requiem for a dream, and the fountain were all cack. didnt see the wrestler.

The Black Swan Theory or "Theory of Black Swan Events" was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain:

1) the disproportionate role of high-impact, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance and technology

2) the non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to their very nature of small probabilities) and

3) the psychological biases that make people individually and collectively blind to uncertainty and unaware of the massive role of the rare event in historical affairs. Unlike the earlier philosophical "black swan problem", the "Black Swan Theory" (capitalized) refers only to unexpected events of large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in history. Such events, considered extreme outliers, collectively play vastly larger roles than regular occurrences.

after the disappointment that was The Wrestler

 

lol. what did you expect? the fountain 2 starring mickey rourke?

i expected something that resembled what i've come to expect from an Aronofsky film. and i didn't get what i expected. as a film generally, The Wrestler wasn't bad. but it was definitely not what i would call a trademark Aronofsky film.

 

Sorry but you sound like a fucking toddler.

it's ok, you're forgiven.

Looks good. Loved everything he's done, apart from Requiem for a Dream. The Fountain is one of my favs.

Lesbian Natalie Portman scene ftw.

It's an excellent highly readable book. He's written an update to that as well. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400063515/nassimtalebsfavo/081297381X

The guy is truly fascinating, check out his homepage:

Aronofsky is a hack.

QFT...visually the fountain was amazing...but way to kill it with bad acting and a gay storyline...pi is good though im watching it again soon to see if that's true (at least kalpol introl will be good)

all his films have something remarkable. haters gonna hate.

agreed

i enjoyed the fountain quite a bit. that gets the most hate. i always wonder what it would have been like with brad pitt and twice the budget like it originally did. but i think the finished product is quite nice.

when I saw the title of this thread, I automatically assumed the film would be about the "Black Swan Theory".

Also is Clint Mansell doing the soundtrack?

i'd be shocked if he didn't

So does Natalie Portman turn into a swan in this movie or what?

it appears mansell is composing the entire soundtrack from pieces of Tchaikovsky's 1876 ballet Swan Lake
