Trailer Park: The Wrestler

Really, Aronofsky?  I mean… I’m both terrified and infatuated with Mickey Rourke, this you know.   Make 10 movies with him, I’ll probably like 8 of them just enough.  You get some lee-way with that guy (roids or no roids) on board.  I think you’re a good enough guy to give it to straight, though:  is the romantic-sting-pulling-romantic-drama the genre you think is really going to let you stretch it out?  Put that NYU education to work?  Even the trailer sucks.  I mean, dude, Darren, you wrote and directed a couple of the best movies of all time.   (And one that made me feel like I had holes in my brain.)  And then this?  And on the horizon we have a RoboCop remake?  Are things that tough?  You need the money that bad?  Or did you move to Malibu and start huffing glue?  Fuck.  I think I hate you, now.  Sorry.

Also, it’s somehow getting amazing reviews. I guess I’ll be wrong on this one.
