Black Swan

[Matt]

Not talking about romantic comedies. Those are all different colors of tripe with the same ultimate outcome.

I was talking about films that challenge the viewer and may put them through something uncomfortable to get them to a better understanding of things. If it means being glum a while after, so what? The juice is worth the squeeze.

Oh, I know. I was just goofing around. As long as the outcome rings true to the plot, the characters, and the overall themes of the film, I'm fine. I don't need an unearned 'happy ending' ruining my film, thank you.

Having said that, I'm sorry you had to see that movie, Matt.

You have no idea. It's still, to this day, the litmus test by which we measure all bad rom-coms.

Oh, I know. I was just goofing around.

HOW DARE YOU?

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

[Ingrid]

I thought I heard a loud explosion earlier....it was Ari's brain...

[Lisa]

Yes, yes, I'm sure you're right, Ingrid...

[BillyG]

Portman is smoking and all...but good fucking lord, Mila Kunis. As my dad said, I like em a little on the trashy side.

[PHEDG]

Mila Kun(niling)is

[gravedigger]

That was awesome and all but I gotta admit I was a little creeped out by the moving tattoos. Why you always gotta creep a dude out, Aronofsky?

[Timothy225]

Bless you, Rob. Bless you.

In the queue to see The King's Speech earlier saw this poster that I hadn't seen before:



Poster, meet Desktop.

[Matt]

holy shit is that a great poster.

...and I STILL can't convince the wife unit to see the film, dammit.

[Ben Thomas]

Going to see it the weekend of my 30th birthday. And Laura fucking HATES Portman. I don't think I helped things by saying I thought that she was probably the most beautiful woman on the planet... But man, when Portman is getting it on with Kunis, I'm gonna get punched from at least one direction and hi-fived from another.

So what I'm saying is, Matt - get over here for the weekend after next, I'll send Laura to keep your missus company and we can watch it together with a pillow between us. That is assuming you're not down with mutual handjobs.

[Ingrid]

Went to see it last night with a friend. HOLY. SHIT. Mind= blown. Also, the scene from the previous page? Totally hot and creepy at the same time.
