I'm EXTREMELY curious about this movie.
Frankly, Aronofsky's attachment to the project is literally THE ONLY THING that could make me bother with spending the money to go see it. I like Crowe and Connelly as much as the next guy but HOLY FUCK. Tough sell.
That said,
Pi.
Requiem for a Dream.
The Fountain.
The Wrestler.
Black Swan.
Jesus-fucking-Christ, I'll follow this guy wherever the fuck he wants to take me. I don't give a fuck if Reznor wants to charge 100 bucks to hear him recite a take-out menu over a Casio loop...he's earned it and I AM THERE.
Same goes for Mansell's score! Assuming he's involved. He always has been and I don't care to check right now. Again, they've earned that trust.
I almost went last night but hated the people who invited me. Kinda like when I was invited to go see
The Passion of the Christ at a theater way back when by a bunch of co-workers before realizing they'd invited me to attend with their bible-study group from the Moody Bible Institute. Or another time when I'd been invited to a concert only to discover it was The Newsboys or Carmen or some such Christian bullshit, etc. Not the right time, not the right place, DEFINITELY not the right group...NOT INTERESTED.
I do think it's pretty funny to see the larger cinemas expecting the uptick in Christian moviegoing, though.
Noah is currently running alongside two retarded-as-fuck Christian movies that would otherwise be 100% straight-to-video if it weren't for
Noah, lol.
God's Not Dead and
Son of God FOR THE FAIL, ffs.
Anyway, I appreciate the flipside, too. Personally, I absolutely ADORE that jesus-freak retards have to sit through a strong dose of whatever-the-fuck Aronofsky throws at them also. Still approaching this cautiously, though.
I guess we'll just see.
And I don't wanna go all grammar-nazi here but...
