darren aronofsky's mother!

is this more or less scary than mike pence’s mother

tell us quickly mrs pence is killing me

Kinda liked this; some of it doesn't work, but it's ambitious, and has the right attitude toward humanity (mistake).

Don't let a bunch of weirdos into your house?

Let has nothing to do with it. Do you have relatives or friends? They'll be there.

lol @ the lead actress

I didn't, because as I liked her for the first time since Winter's Bone here, I have no notion as to why she's a "superstar."

Darren comes off as an asshole in the book "meet me in the bathroom." Lol.

TIM GOLDSWORTHY: Darren Aronofsky would turn up at Plant Bar with a wifebeater on, leaning on a bar, “Hey, guys, what are you drinking?” He’s such a tosser. He really reminds me of the super-nerdy Dungeons and Dragons kids who really wants to be cool.

think Goldsworthy comes off worse here tbh...

probly upset that I had to google who he is

this movie fairly accurately conjured up the feeling of being trapped in a nightmare, for that I appreciated it.

Xpost haha. Yeah.

also Pfeiffer and Wiig brought some lols. (The former: "Wow, you really love him. God help you.")

lol when i watched this film it was during a sleepless slow onset of fever for something that I was hospitalised for days later and I still thought it seemed clumsy and empty.

I was really hard on this movie when it came out & thinking back on it, pretty sure I still hate most of it, but there are some hilarious moments (Wiig shooting people execution style especially).

Rewatched it to see if it compared to what it feels like to be alive these last three months and, voila! Masterpiece.

have been planning on watching this for the last three years! will get around to it soon

maybe should see Black Swan again, I reacted negatively to it at the time and think my experience with it contributed to my reluctance to see mother!

I'm never sure about my past film opinions, especially when a decade or more has gone by. Pi and Requiem were interesting at the time, but that was a different era in my life and I can hardly remember them now.

I have always been pro mother! !!!

Someday. Not soon, not at home. But someday.

I thought this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Like, Lady In The Water-levels of bad.

it was so bad it made me angry, but have already complained about it upthread.

Admittedly my default w films maudit is to love tgdm

Ditto--but the idea that it has pandemic resonances has me intrigued.

lol i watched this film when i had a fever and it was still unconvincing

i admire this film's dedication to being really annoying

imo aronofsky packed all of his good ideas into the fountain

finally saw it, it made sense (as has been mentioned) as a story about our treatment of earth

“He is God, she/the house = Mother Earth, babby = Jesus, etc. Environmentalist movie with biblical underpinnings.

...is the essence imo.

I didn't hate it, don't think I will ever want to watch it again though

^^ My exact reaction to every Aronofsky movie I've seen lol

she was hot (joke about darren aronofsky's mother!)
