OT Better Movie

[Eddie_Shack]

Also, on a Pulp Fiction note, I will admit that might be one of those "time and place" movies, where a certain generation or subset idealizes something because it happened at a certain point in their lives, making it seem cooler or better than it was. Kind of like how you talk to some Boomers who insist Woodstock was some sort of societal apex when in fact it was a bunch of stoners dosing on acid, mud wrestling naked and pooping behind trees.

I just do not care for him or his movies. I thought RD was fantastic and thought Pulp was good. I didnt like Jackie Brown (loved Forster though), either of the Kill Bills, nor Death Proof. I have seen very little of Inglorious so I cannot fully comment.

I think he is a pretentious prick with an underwhelming track record.

I like Darren Aronofsky very much. He is known for...

Requiem For a Dream
Pi
The Wrestler
Black Swan
The Fountain

I highly suggest checking his movies out.

the wrestler was a good flick heard black swan was very good

The Fountain is a romantic drama... But very well done.

The Fountain is a 2006 American romantic drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. The film comprises three storylines where Jackman and Weisz play different sets of characters: a modern-day scientist and his cancer-stricken wife, a conquistador and his queen, and a space traveler in the future who hallucinates his lost love. The storylines—interwoven with use of match cuts and recurring visual motifs—reflect the themes of love and mortality.

Aronofsky's style is great.

Yes its twisted like that. Strange directing tricks... Lots of split screen and time lapse clips. Jacobs Ladder uses what I think they call body horror technique... I wish I went into that field, I truly love film, oh well. All in all, yes its a movie that covers different peoples addictions. Great film.

Rep added for that comment alone.

I like Aronofsky's movies and think he is a good director. With the exception of The Fountain, which I thought was a huge mess. An attractive looking mess, but a mess.

 

[sportfan09]

I love his stuff... His recent stuff kind of blows. I saw him from a distance at a Red Sox game. Never met him, didn't seem that tall, but he was pretty far away.

Really, I like weird shit with different stories intertwined. His style is great though... Really looking forward to The Wolverine and Machine Man. I wanna see his take on a "comic movie".
