Wow! Will this beat Inception as film of the year??? Looks awesome.

[matt35mm]

This looks really beautifully executed.  I'm still a little worried about the dance sequences, but I really dig the style (Aronofsky/Libatique is a hard team to beat for style).

It's probably going to be really effective at creeping people the fuck out.

I wasnt ready for how Cronenberg-ian that would be, this looks great. and hot.

[picolas]

i dunno. it's a lot like the wrestler trailer. or the never let me go trailer scream. too much intense emotion + not enough context. i still know this'll be amazing, i just don't think they'll do a good job marketing it.

I want as close to zero context in my trailers as possible: I want to know the visual style, tone, mood, and a hint of narrative. This does that pretty damn well, so I'm happy.

That last shot of her removing the whatever-the-fuck Brundel fly hair that was on her shoulder was very, yes Cronenberg, but also very much like Pi with the scar or Requiem with the needle wound on the arm. VERY EXCITED NOW. Could 2010 turn out ok?

Yes.

Along with ten other films.

Which? Haha first one that came to mind was Kick Ass but probably not what you mean haha.

[john]

ha! Your interpretation was miles better than my intention. Well done.

[jtm]

i'm sold.

aronofsky has yet to disappoint me.

i really think he's on his way to become one of the greats. just give him 20 years.

This is tied for best poster/trailer combo with Let Me In.

Faux lesbianism! Whip pans! Elegantly shot masturbation scenes! Honestly if Aronofsky's name wasn't on this I would have pegged it as a straight-to-premium-cable Single White Female ripoff with ballet but the premise is intriguing and it's Aronofsky so of course I'm in.

I am really trying to ween myself off trailers though. I just saw Winter's Bone without knowing anything about it (more on that later) and the experience was amazing, like tasting your first beer or popping your cheery all over again. How do you anti-trailer freaks do it?

I agree to all of this. Every last word.

It's almost like something DePalma would do, but probably more like something Antonioni would do. So more Blow Up than Blow Out.

Which is fine, I guess... but Blow Out was really fucking fun. So here's hoping this will be a pretty good time, as well.
