Amazing movie. I agree, LYT, it's like a cliff-notes version - I would recommend people not watch the trailer if they haven't seen it.

although Darren and Tomei started their Q & A afterwards during the credits/Bruce song -- so I'm glad I atleast got to hear it here.

BERKGURU -- December 17th, I believe (limited) and January 9 expansion

JD says ...

Yeah, that trailer does capture the heart of the film, but the film itself is more admirable because of its restraint. In the film, most of these moments are played more naturalistically, without music guiding our emotions... and whenever music is played, it's usually sleazy 80s hair metal.

I should have read the comments first. Still, it's the first time I've seen actual footage from the thing and I really wanna see it.
Something about Rourke's hair reminds me of Brett Hart...

Saw this in Georgetown followed by the Q&A with Aronofsky and Tomei on 11/17. I though it was very, very good and can’t wait to see it again. Rourke is as great as everyone says and Tomei is excellent as well. My only gripe is the stuff with the daughter is a little thin. I think it’s the sort of film Vittorio DeSica would have made had he grown up with the WWF and MTV.

Oh, one thing I want to mention about the Q&A is Aronofsky cut off the moderator as he was about to ask about ROBOCOP. I wonder what that means...

Looks like a nicer version of the Jack the Snake elements of Beyond the Mat.

Voice of Reason -- Aronofsky wouldn't talk about ROBOCOP at my Q & A either, and when asked about THE FIGHTER, he denied its existence, saying "I'm looking for work".

I didn't think he came off as smug or anything though -- he cracked a few jokes, was dressed-down in a hoodie with glasses, took pictures, etc.

VoiceOfReason says ...

I didn’t mean to imply Aronofsky was smug for cutting off the mod. It just came across as weird; almost like he was embarrassed about the Robocop project. Aronofsky couldn’t have been a cooler guy. He seamed really appreciative of the enthusiastic response from the audience. Same with Tomei.
