Mr. Beaks Hails Darren Aronofsky's THE WRESTLER!

Meh by banville	Sep 5th, 2008 12:57:59 AM
Sounds boring.
Shit, they're screening this already? by Gwai Lo	Sep 5th, 2008 12:58:57 AM

hell yes by ranma627	Sep 5th, 2008 01:04:29 AM
Aronofsky and Mansell are my guys. Absolutely adore Requiem and the Fountain.
Rourke Needs a comeback by Broseph	Sep 5th, 2008 01:08:03 AM
He was going strong for a while but as of late he hasn't done shit.I hope to see more of him as marv
Can't Fucking Wait! by HEADGEEK	Sep 5th, 2008 01:08:26 AM
I love aging warriors of the rings film. Wallace Beery was a God to me in THE CHAMP. I can't wait to see a filmmaker that puts souls on screen like Aronofsky - put his stamp and take on this material. Can not wait!
It sounds good, I hope it is. Aronofsky deserves success. by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Sep 5th, 2008 01:09:17 AM
I love his movies. I hope I love this one.
so happy we didn't have to wait another 7 years... by Rindain	Sep 5th, 2008 01:11:59 AM
...for new Aronofsky. Can't wait for this.
I thought of this as a movie idea a few years ago by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:12:25 AM
Because I'm a big fan of wrestling, so I'm hopeful that this will be as good as I think it can. Sadly, stories like this are more the norm than the exception in wrestling, where guys die all the time from abuse of any number of substances, and when that doesn't seem bad enough a story like Chris Benoit comes along. Its a rough business on the performers, and I hope this film captures that aspect.
Boring? by eustisclay	Sep 5th, 2008 01:13:30 AM
I'm hoping it's the Mickey Rourke performance of a lifetime. I don't think I would dismiss something as boring without having even seen it.
Wrestling Fans by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:13:35 AM
Anyone else looking for "Have A Nice Day" by Mick Foley to be turned into a movie? Probably my favorite book of all-time.
I want Aronofsky to be busy until 2017. by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Sep 5th, 2008 01:15:14 AM

I hope Aronofsky gets to make all of his dream projects. by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Sep 5th, 2008 01:16:55 AM

by pomofo	Sep 5th, 2008 01:17:43 AM
I'm glad Nicholas Cage dropped out of this movie, so Mickey could get the role
bigbadbua by mrbeaks	Sep 5th, 2008 01:18:09 AM
It follows the lead of BEYOND THE MAT in a way. The toll of the job is painfully evident in Aronofsky's film. I bet he was a fan of this stuff growing up (as I was).
I gotta win the lotto to fund Aronofsky. by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Sep 5th, 2008 01:18:16 AM
I'd throw money at Del Toro to!
Yeah! by Lashlarue	Sep 5th, 2008 01:22:28 AM
Darren is back on track. Let's put that cinematic abortion called The Fountain behind us.
Mr Beaks by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:24:30 AM
I'm glad to hear you say that because I loved Beyond The Mat. Seeing what has happened to guys like Terry Funk and Jake Roberts is almost tragic if you're a fan of wrestling.
"Can't Fucking Wait! " How do I sleep after this? by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Sep 5th, 2008 01:27:02 AM
Damn, I gotta go to bed! You said it Harry! This is going to be awesome. Aronofsky always surprises me. Always. It's going to be brutal, honestly brutal. He's the master of that. He makes emotion real, you know? He makes you feel it. AICN, get an interview with Aronofsky as soon as you can; I wanna hear what he has to say, and what's coming down the line. That's it, I'm watching the FOUNTAIN right about...now!
Rourke... by nilskidoo	Sep 5th, 2008 01:33:21 AM
would have made a KILLER Comedian.
Normal Aronofsky? No! by SanityKaos	Sep 5th, 2008 01:33:29 AM
Bruce Springsteen! What!? Robocop! What!? I want weird Aronofsky!!! Not normal Aronofsky!
The Fountain owned... by Lord John Whorfin	Sep 5th, 2008 01:36:41 AM
in 2006. Name a film that was more visually interesting.
I love Arnofsky by enderandrew	Sep 5th, 2008 01:37:45 AM
And yet The Fountain only had visuals going for it. That movie was really lost in translation somewhere.
~~~Aronofsky for "HUNT THE DARK KNIGHT!"~~~ by The Marquis de Side 3	Sep 5th, 2008 01:40:41 AM
if Nolan leaves and doesn't do the third Batman film, I'd like to see an Aronofsky entry into the franchise with Bale. he's definitely got the unsentimental chops. it's only "THE FOUNTAIN" where I found the sentimentality to be too much, and the conquistador scenes to be like "MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL". but Darren is one of the greats. oh yeah, and Mickey Rourke will FUCKING own!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lord John Whorfin by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:40:52 AM
I was more visually interested by Pan's Labyrinth in 2006, and as enderandrew just said the visuals were about all The Fountain had going for it. Too weird for its own good.
I thought the Fountain was pretty simple... by Lord John Whorfin	Sep 5th, 2008 01:41:23 AM
guess not.
Sounds like ... by VoxMillennium	Sep 5th, 2008 01:47:37 AM
the movie Barton Fink would have made if he'd had a free hand.
Pan's Labyrinth... by Lord John Whorfin	Sep 5th, 2008 01:52:46 AM
truly a contender. Both films showed viewers things they haven't seen before. I supposed I should have stipulated that I was considering American film, but Pan's Labyrinth was pretty great, too. Even if it did get wide US release in 2007.
Devil On The Canvas! by pleasebanme	Sep 5th, 2008 01:55:53 AM
Don't worry, it's just a B-picture.
sounds great - aronofsky for the question movie! by ironic_name	Sep 5th, 2008 02:00:44 AM
the question!
Please lay off Rourke and Aronofsky fellas..... by StraightToHell	Sep 5th, 2008 02:12:59 AM
OK, Rourke might not have put out mindblowing work in the 90s (still, even in that lame Van Damme flick Double Team, he was an awesome bad guy), but that doesn't change the fact that he is still a legendary actor who is one of the two or three best working actors in US right now. His single scene in The Pledge was one of the most shattering episodic bits of acting I've ever seen. And what about his supporting turn in The Rainmaker? He is sublime in a relaxed, hilarious performance that manages to steal every scene from Danny DeVito and Matt Damon, which in itself is an amazing feat. And though Animal Factory came out in 2000, and isn't technically 90s, he was astounding as the gay cellmate of Edward Furlong. Just listen to the commentary by Eddie Bunker and Danny Trejo (both ex-cons) who say that Rourke should have won an Oscar for that role. So, it ain't like the guy was frozen all that time. if anything, the roles I just mentioned would make other actors drool with envy. Even his "wilderness" years dwarf other actors' best consecutive work. The dude is a legend. And The Fountain was simply brilliant. The visuals rivaled anything that Cameron did with his movies in terms of beauty and genuine originality. And yes, he does make films that are supercharged with emotions. But have you seen Bergman's and Kurosawa's films? Many of their works EXPLODE with emotion. So, why is that bad? It took me a while to warm up to Pi, and though I still think the ending didn't work, it's still one of the best first films ever made. He is a serious talent and if this keeps up he just might be inching his way into the Michael Mann/Gilliam/Polanski territory. And with both of these dudes working together, I can't wait to see this film!
Mr. Beaks is the best reviewer by Unlabled	Sep 5th, 2008 02:32:39 AM
What a magnificent way to describe Afronosky and the feeling this film creates. You are my must read when I come to this site now.
ARONofsky is the GREATEST filmmaker today by BrightEyes	Sep 5th, 2008 02:36:44 AM
and if you don't think so you can go FUCK YOURSELF!!
@ mr beaks by orange cinema	Sep 5th, 2008 02:41:01 AM

@ mr beaks by orange cinema	Sep 5th, 2008 02:42:21 AM
(sorry bout that) is this film an awards season contender? i've been dying to see it, and thought its originality would carry it into the awards arena, so i'm curious. great review, jealous as hell that you got to see it!
Barfly by shogunshin	Sep 5th, 2008 02:57:52 AM
anyone want to see greatness, do not forgot to watch BARFLY. rourke was so disgusting and dirty in that movie. you could feel the dirt just watching the flick. ROURKE rules, and i hope he gets on track to keep making great films.
Wow! I was on the fence with this one.. by Marxeffect	Sep 5th, 2008 03:13:01 AM
Now i cant fucking wait!
"I hated the fucking '90s"? by newc0253	Sep 5th, 2008 03:14:25 AM
strange, but looking at IMDB, the only thing i saw Rourke in during the 90s was the Rainmaker in 97. i knew his career took a nose dive for a while but ... damn.
Sounds like a Clint Eastwood film by Hoots Mon	Sep 5th, 2008 03:26:52 AM
Which is definitely not a bad thing.
Can't wait! by danthemagnum	Sep 5th, 2008 03:51:03 AM
As an independent wrestler myself I personally cannot wait for this film. Bunch of my buddies are going to the screening at the TIFF.
Bright Eyes I agree with you.. by DOGSOUP	Sep 5th, 2008 04:58:00 AM
..But YOU go Fuck YOURself anyway!
Wow...this can't come soon enough! by spooky2k	Sep 5th, 2008 05:06:53 AM
This write-up has made me even more excited to see this film. Aronofsky is one of the greatest film makers around today, and if what this review says is correct (that he's found the blend and style of his other films but with a more naturalistic style), then I cannot wait.
Parallels with Jake Roberts? by dastickboy	Sep 5th, 2008 06:13:36 AM
This film sounds fantastic, hope this gets decent distribution in the UK. As soon as I started reading it I immediately recalled the scenes in Beyond the Mat featuring Jake Roberts. That was a gut-punch if ever there was one. He always seemed such a steely, centered character, but his real life was just an absolute mess. Was far and away the most heart-breaking thing in that particular film.
Rourke never took a nosedive by nilskidoo	Sep 5th, 2008 06:21:39 AM
He left hollywood for a few years to be a pro boxer. He is old school tough, like Robert Mitchum.
Bret Hart's book should be made into a movie. by Dragon Man	Sep 5th, 2008 07:23:53 AM
Apparently he wants to turn it into a ongoing series with a similar vibe to The Sopranos and he's trying to get it developed.
dastickboy,.... by pdennett316	Sep 5th, 2008 07:24:05 AM
You took the words right out of my mouth, this movie sounds like an extended version of the Jake Roberts scenes from Beyond the Mat. The stories Roberts told in part explained why he was the way he was, and why he was in the wrestling business. Partly because his dad was a wrestler, but I believe mostly as an escape from the problems of real life. The chance to be this powerful, confident character in the world of wrestling is no doubt heaven for someone looking to escape whats happening in real life. Roberts discussing his sister who was murdered and her body never recovered really opened up why he was the way he was - then seeing the impact that in turn had on his daughter was heart-wrenching. This review has completely turned me around on this flick from zero interest to must see.
Great Director & Cast, Perfect Post Summer by cowboyone	Sep 5th, 2008 07:25:31 AM
Stoked for this. Mickey Rourke as a has-been is inspired casting and Aronofsky always delivers. Can't wait! Where's my trailer?!
must see by DrLektor	Sep 5th, 2008 07:31:00 AM
So this is the wrestling equivalent of Rocky? That works and has been a long time coming. Except the big fight this time is a crock of shit and the hero has to eat humble pie, leaving the ring with nothing but his dignity. From the bits I've seen and the blurb I've read and now Mr. Beaks... have to say I'm sold.
marisa's tittahs, do they make an appearance? by ironic_name	Sep 5th, 2008 07:38:35 AM

for HEADGEEK, BEAKS etc.... by brassai2003	Sep 5th, 2008 08:19:52 AM
Just an idea. when you can, could you embed a trailer with the reviews? I know many are too early, but some have trailer. I think this would be awesome and give a bit of context to the review and TB'ers a chance to visulize the characters.
vewwy vewwy excited by T 1000 xp professional	Sep 5th, 2008 08:48:28 AM
Thank God it's actually real and coming soon for the rest of us. IT doesn't even feel so long since we had the fountain. This release is surely a blessing.
I'm tired of perople trashing the Fountain. by R_Sammy	Sep 5th, 2008 08:48:52 AM
You people complain that movies are becoming generic and unoriginal with all of the rip offs, remakes and sequels, but when something actually comes along that is unique and a genuine work of art you don't appreciate it. I'm very curious to see Aaronofsky tackling very different subject matter. He has been gradually developing a more naturalistic style and I'd like to see how he does when shedding his stylistic flourishes. Hopefully this movie can be his resume for taking over the Batman franchise after Nolan's done with it. I hope the suits realize that its hiring a skilled and creative team instead of some hack that made TDK good and not just because its "dark."
Psyched by frongbak	Sep 5th, 2008 08:58:43 AM
SHould be great, and more grounded than the Foutain which I found too ponderous at times. I'm also jazzed to see Aronofsky tackle Robocop. I love to see great talents be able to expand their visual pallette and a hard-caroe action flick with social satire seem right up Aron's alley.
Not trashing Fountain by frongbak	Sep 5th, 2008 09:03:06 AM
I admire the effort and would much rather see a director over-reaching for greatness even if the product is a bit of a mess. This film seems like the perfect way for Aronofsky to reel in his grand aspirations and focus on an intimate story. Requiem was incredible and it's style perfectly served its story.
))(( by the new transported man	Sep 5th, 2008 09:09:41 AM
The tragedy & business behind pro wrestling is riveting to me, & I'm stoked that this movie is coming out. Just like I'm stoked that somebody made Watchmen. Forthcoming movies FTW.
Beaks is still the best GDMN writer on this site by Lenny8	Sep 5th, 2008 09:59:07 AM
Blows the others away. Mature, elegant, and actually informative. Never insulting to his readers, yet entertaining. The rest of the so-called "staff" at AICN could learn a thing or two. Great review, Beaks!
Can't wait. Need a shot of Aronofsky... by onezeroone	Sep 5th, 2008 10:03:22 AM
Am off to watch the Aronofsky Marathon... followed by a Rourke marathon
Aronofsky is..what Richard Kelly wants to be. by knowthyself	Sep 5th, 2008 10:54:37 AM
I really get that feeling when watching Any of Darrens films. Don't get me wrong I still like Darko..and Southland is my unguilty pleasure..but Aronofsky has an attention to detail and nuance that is hard to match. Aronofsky is on his way and WRESTLER may be his own "there will be blood". An undeniable masterpiece that finally gives him the accolades he deserves. And to hell with the critics..THE FOUNTAIN was a gem and the best film of that year.
This sounds like Aronofsky's comeback, not Rourke's by fiester	Sep 5th, 2008 11:21:17 AM
Rourke's comeback was Sin City. Aronofsky is the guy who fell flat on his face with that colossal misstep The Fountain. I wonder if this script was at all based on the life of Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Sounds like maybe yes.
RowdyRoddyStriper by fiester	Sep 5th, 2008 11:23:43 AM
Your assertion that The Fountain was a "fucking masterpiece" makes everything else in your post irrelevant. If that's your aesthetic outlook, I now suspect the script your read was the masterpiece. Not enough New Age bullshit in it for you, pal?
Sounds great by hst666	Sep 5th, 2008 11:30:22 AM
Have to try to see this one. But come on. And who doesn't like some Quiet Riot!
sounds like a snoozer by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Sep 5th, 2008 11:38:47 AM
well....seeing as how i CANT STAND "professional" wrestling in any way shape or form...whether it be the cheesiness or people knowing (and some NOT knowing) thats its fake and STILL loving it is silly IMO. not for me...even if im drunk, its a pass...ill wait for his Robocop re-do.
Aronofsky should do 1984. by Knuckleduster	Sep 5th, 2008 11:39:00 AM
So excited about this. Fuckin adore all of Aronofsky's films. Any word on a release date yet?
To All My Friends!!!!!!! by IamZardoz	Sep 5th, 2008 11:45:47 AM
Rourke really is a great actor that has made some dumb decisions. Hopefully this gets him back on track.
work is good by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Sep 5th, 2008 11:47:54 AM
its good to see Rourke keeping busy...i thought he was the (only) good thing about DOMINO, i dug his character in Sin City (most interesting character, easily), and i even enjoyed him (for what its worth) in Get Carter as a slimy prick. hes got talent, for sure...but "professional" wrestling has always irritated me...id rather watch a good MMA fight and watch someone get cut by a vicious elbow than to do it themselves with razor blades...such masochists aren't they???
Release Date, Distribution by mrbeaks	Sep 5th, 2008 11:53:48 AM
THE WRESTLER is still without both. I expect that to change soon, and I'm confident they'll find a way to get an Academy qualifying run this year.
Rourke's Been Great In Supporting Roles Lately by mrbeaks	Sep 5th, 2008 11:56:46 AM
DOMINO, SIN CITY, BUFFALO '66, THE RAINMAKER... but this is the first time he's effectively carried a movie since JOHNNY HANDSOME. Some folks say nice things about HOMEBOY, but I remember being unimpressed with that one.
Rourke's done this before... by Guy Grand	Sep 5th, 2008 12:07:11 PM
Except it was boxing. "Homeboy" had the same feel of this. I agree with 'fartedinthefaceofHollywood,' this thing looks like a snoozer. And that orgasm you had for acoustic Springsteen...well, "Homeboy" had acoustic Clapton. Ho-hum.
dastickboy by oducerproducer	Sep 5th, 2008 12:32:55 PM
Yeah i agree as well with the Jake Roberts comparisons. As a wrestling fan & a filmmaker i must say, I'm glad there is a film that is showing wrestling in a not so stereotypical light, e.g. Spider-Man. As for Rourke, please don't forget the greatness that is Rumble Fish.
if you hate pro wrestling by the new transported man	Sep 5th, 2008 12:50:46 PM
You can still get into this movie. Pro wrestling is utterly retarded, but there are some amazing dynamics behind the scenes. The abuse, the business, the solipsism...it makes for a very interesting story, even more interesting when the subjects are past their prime & still tooling around in the indie wrestling world.
Beaks: You got the Springsteen lyrics wrong!!! by WWBD	Sep 5th, 2008 12:53:07 PM
"At the end of every hard earned day, people find some reason to BELIEVE." It's the name of the song, for chrissake.
Think That Might've Been On Purpose, WWBD... by mrbeaks	Sep 5th, 2008 01:08:16 PM

the new transported man by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Sep 5th, 2008 01:13:28 PM
i hear ya man, and im sure there are things to be enjoyed in this film...i just take no interest in the "in the scene" and "behind the scenes" nature of the wrestling business...it just dosen't interest ME at all really. sorta like Brokeback Mountain, i dont wanna see that movie...not because its about gay dudes, but because its a love story about two closet gay cowboys falling in love...and that particular subject material dosen't interest me enough to sit down and watch for a couple hours...im sure its a great movie and all, just as im sure films like "The Piano" and "The Crying Game" are great gilms in their own right, but ill probably never see them...because i personally dont care enough to
Springsteen's Reason to Believe? by DKT	Sep 5th, 2008 01:15:45 PM
Is that the track they use, or is it a new one?
No, DKT by mrbeaks	Sep 5th, 2008 01:17:34 PM
It's a new song called "The Wrestler".
farted by the new transported man	Sep 5th, 2008 02:02:55 PM
Yeah, objectively dramatic & moving or not, if you don't feel like watching a movie about wrestlers falling in love with gay cowboys, then Brokeback Wrestler is not for you.
well, Beaks, I guess I am dumb then by WWBD	Sep 5th, 2008 02:07:38 PM
but i don't get it
Arnofsky is a genius by ChocolateJesusMan	Sep 5th, 2008 02:11:24 PM
Arnofsky NEEDS and i repeat needs to remake that celluloid abortion that was "Constantine" And give us the Hellblazer movie we have been crying for (co-written by Alan Moore of course)
beaks, you dork, dont tell the whole f'n story! by pipergates	Sep 5th, 2008 02:21:44 PM
Your piece is pretty well written, but to tell every little detail that happens is not to review. I'm very glad the film is good but it would kind of have been preferable to have an idea of what its like rather than have the whole f'n thing spoiled. Contain yourself.
knowthyself by ironic_name	Sep 5th, 2008 02:55:59 PM
EXACTLY! thankyou. kelly is trying hart out to be aronofsky.
Looking forward to this... by Forsakyn	Sep 5th, 2008 02:58:50 PM
I didn't care for The Fountain (yeah, it was visually interesting, but I had no connection without it beyond that). Requiem for a Dream was great, though. And I love Mickey Rourke's work (I feel he's a fantastic actor), so I was glad to see him given the title role in this flick. I'll definitely catch this movie when it comes out.
kelly is trying HIS hart out to be aronofsky. by ironic_name	Sep 5th, 2008 03:09:00 PM

hmmm... by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Sep 5th, 2008 03:20:10 PM
a bit off the page thenewtransportedman. its only MY opinion anyway...which ill serve piping hot without hesitation, but i speak for no-one but myself and i try try try to convey that in my comments. its all good though...if this is your thing, then i suppose your in for a treat. personally...most of the movies im looking forward to are far off...Burn After Reading is the only thing thats on my radar at the moment.
Aronofsky by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Sep 5th, 2008 03:30:15 PM
I've only seen Requiem for a Dream, and while its a great film...i felt like i had been dragged across broken glass after seeing it, so it was effective in that sense. havent seen Pi but hear good things....havent seen The Fountain and have only heard mixed feeling on that one. im not gonna say ill NEVER see The Wrestler, but its low on the list of movie-priorities (as ar a great and many films). im nervous about this Robocop re-do...fingers crossed HARD on that one...
Swweeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Thanks, Beaks. by DKT	Sep 5th, 2008 03:33:55 PM
Looking forward to it.
Kelly wants to be Kubrick by BrightEyes	Sep 5th, 2008 03:36:36 PM
but Aronofsky is becoming Kubrick so that is why it seems that way.
DAMN! by Series7	Sep 5th, 2008 04:06:16 PM
I can't wait to hear Clint Mansell score in every movie trailer next year! ITS GONNA KICK ASS!
holy spoilers... by jandol	Sep 5th, 2008 04:40:24 PM
OK, if you're going to go into that much detail of the ENTIRE MOVIE you might want to give people a bit of warning... Nicely written review, but, cripes... I have been really looking forward to this , and now I feel like there is going to be no surprise for me in it. That sucks.
The Fountain by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Sep 5th, 2008 05:01:33 PM
i remember there was a time when the film had a nice big budget and Brad Pitt set to star....then something happened and the budget was cut tremendously and Pitt backed out. sometimes i wonder what happened, studio lost faith in the film perhaps???....who knows, because what do movie studios know???....not much these days
"The Fountain" was terrible by TooWhippy	Sep 5th, 2008 05:08:10 PM
All it needed was some fart jokes to bring in the ticket sales. People love that stuff.

Going to see this on Tuesday by Garbageman33	Sep 5th, 2008 09:59:57 PM
Between this, Slumdog Millionaire, Sugar, the Brothers Bloom and a few other titles, Toronto should be pretty good this year. Even though JCVD was a big disappointment.

very true the fountain is one of the best films about Love ever.

That decade sucked ass big time. This does sound like Jake the Snake. I would love to see an HBO type series based around the "Von Erichs" or perhaps the Harts. See all the crap and darkness of the world of pro wrestling.

Love Mickey Rourke and I've been waiting for him to finally get some recognition for the great work he's been doing for the last few years. Can't wait to see this.
