Quote from: Dimocrates KSCI hear Daron Aronofsky is doing the new Robo-Cop.
I think that might be kind of cool.

Knowing his track record, I'd have to agree.
Nah, his next movie is an adaptation of 101 Dalmations, where he drowns them in buckets one by one while reading selected Ann Rand quotes.

God I hate that miserable motherfucker.

Who is Ann Rand?  Is she related to Raggedy Ann and Andy?

The fountain isn't miserable at all. I love that film. Sure the subject matter is death but its actually quite upbeat about it.

In related news, I would like to state that I AM NOT ZURTOK EITHER

and I have a completely neutral stance regarding Mexicans, for I can't really recall ever having met one in my life.

except that this movie Desperado was in Mexico right? cause that movie was awesome. it's sequel however (with Johnny Depp) was not.

However, the DVD commentary track has his recipe for Puerco Pibil, and it is fucking AWESOME. 

So good, you'll want to shoot the cook!

I have only seen Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler - if indeed he has created a film without pathologically seeking out and amplifying every emotionally traumatising moment possible - I still have no motivation to give him another chance.

the Pistolero tune is pretty swote as well, though I have to admit I like the Juno Reactor version a lot more than the original :)

Umm, can't deal with a little emotion, or do just not like it when a movie makes you notice you have them? He's a great frikkin' director. And yes, the fountain was great (possibly my favorite by him). Furthermore, if he did Robo-Cop, you know where gonna get scary glimpses into his head. It'll be awesome.
Though, I suppose no one can really top Mel Brooks.

Don't try to bait me Dimo, for I am a master baiter, and you'll just end up getting the short end of the stick in any toss up we have. Unless you succeed, and I seem to recall a photo somewhere suggesting that might likely.

Watch those films again, every scene is the most contrived and wrung out after school special melodrama played for maximum impact by someone who just wants to make their audience suffer. There is a certain beauty and craftsmanship to the way he portrays his psychosis, but there is no point to it, no dramatic validation. It's just cynical manipulation of an audience too stupid to realise that just because something makes you feel cold and empty, that doesn't make it art. Fuck him. He's the cinematic equivalent of Coldplay. (based upon the two films of his I've seen)

Oh yeah, here's that photo:

All bolded text can apply to the Coen brothers and that's what most argue make them good directors.
