"La ballena": dolor y bondad en los confines del cuerpo de Brendan Fraser

“La ballena” impresiona, no sólo por la emotiva y auténtica interpretación de Brendan Fraser a través de sus ojos acuosos que destilan dolor, pérdida y amor por su hija perdida, sino también porque solemos asociar a los personajes gordos a personajes negativos en la ficción pero, aquí, un hombre, con más de 300 kilos es un cacho de pan, la bondad personificada. Una no acaba de sufrir con Charlie,…

Which movie you're watching?

pacific heights ^_^

just saw some video of a guy busting a nut in his jeans at a twerking contest and oh my goodness Darren aranofsky WISHES he could capture something as horrific as that video. requiem for a dream, the wrestler nor black swan have anything on that video. the way it was shot was so terrifying... the pan to the audience, his wet jeans on the jumbo screen, "HE HAS RELEASED SEMEN IN HIS JEANS, HE HAS CLIMAXED" from the commentators.... it was like a nightmare where you do something embarrassing... that video captured exactly what it feels like

Si queréis salir de las típicas recomendaciones de películas para Halloween🎃 atreveos a ver "Mother!", de Darren Aranofsky, si aún no la habéis visto.

¿Es terror? Seguramente no encaje del todo en el género. ¿Da miedo? Sí.

¿La recomiendo mil veces? Sin duda.

Un 10.

I lowkey feel bad for the student film guy because his film is roasted to charcoal in Letterboxd but at the same time if your movie reached Aranofsky and got greenlit by a Hollywood studio and sold as an inspiring success story I think it's fair that people will be curious by the actual quality of your movie. Is it all money talks or actually good

Having a Tumblr account: reblogging stuff, ranting about blorbos, making gifsets with said blorbos, receiving 5 notes from beloved mutuals, never getting anon hate, getting recommended Mark Ruffalos blog. Why is Mark Ruffalo on Tumblr? None of my business, anyway, scroll-scroll, dm-ing something funny to a friend, sometimes someone follows me and it's almost always a spam bot that I block 5 seconds later. Life goes on, tranquil and blissful

Having a YouTube account: still getting notifs of the heated debate under a video review of some darren aranofskis film that i cluelessly commented on 3 years ago, getting trolls and hate comments under every one of my videos for leaving a comment under some random Al Jazeera video on feminism back in 2016, getting 1 mil views under a video i re-uploaded for archiving purposes (for myself mostly), getting 5 notifs a day, still getting subscribers from that very same video, got mad at americans under tiffanyferg's video that was about america that discussed specifically american issues, got polite and tactful reply from her, felt bad afterwards, getting more subscribers, god, why are you here, im not going to upload anything else, still getting those heated replies from the mother! video reaction, no, dude, it's not a good movie, this guy's work is largely overrated, his metaphors are lazy and you just won't change my mind, okay, it's personal, i hated him since requiem for a dream, im not reading all of that but im glad for you or sorry that that happened

giving diane warren her 14th nomination over giving taylor her first 😭 the academy really don’t like her

I’m telling you!! The academy is very fickle and petty with what they like and don’t like. They don’t like actors-turned-directors, they don’t like horror/thriller movies, they don’t like random industry people for seemingly unknown reasons like Aranofsky, they don’t like being told they can’t separate the art from the artist, they don’t like black people for obvious (racist) reasons (and anyone not white in general) and so why not tack on Taylor Swift to the list!

All jokes aside I do think it’s a bit more complicated than just they hate her. She’s had some 8-9 attempts now sure but most of them were not very good attempts, imo. Like…. Not good songs lol. And they’re usually attached to movies that are not seriously considered in the Oscar’s conversation writ large anyway. 50 shades, Crawdads, Cats, etc. So it’s no surprise she’s been unsuccessful so far. The song category is a weird one, both the fact that it exists and the way it usually goes down. If you’ve been following the Oscar’s for a while, it’s extremely predictable down to the annual Diane Warren nomination which is something of an in-joke at this point. But if you’re a casual viewer then I can see why you had misplaced hope for taylor and why you’re baffled. From an entertainment standpoint, it’s quite funny to watch someone who usually sweeps competitions in every other arena, deservedly as she’s extremely talented, have the biggest losing streak of her career because the category is cuckoo bananas. You have to laugh!

i have no personal affinity toward aranofsky but i loved mother. it didn't do anything for u?

Didn’t watch that shit 😁 and I’m happy 😁

dang, the whale trailer is great, but i'm so confused - it doesn't seem like an aranofsky film. i'm only familiar with his horror work.

he has directed/produced movies about regular people and real life struggles before. requiem for a dream is one of, maybe even THE most hard hitting movie about drug addiction.

It's not like Brendan Fraser hasn't had to overcome adversity before. After all, his very first starring role came in a Pauly Shore vehicle (Encino Man) that was savaged by critics. But he overcame that shaky start and went on to become a big star in the 1990s and early 2000s, especially when he had the starring role in the Mummy films. This comeback is different, though. After a theatrical dry spell in which he's gone more than a decade without appearing in a box office hit, Fraser is receiving critical acclaim -- and even a strong Oscar buzz -- for his role in Darren Aranofsky's The Whale. When the film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, it got a six-minute standing ovation from the audience. Speaking at a press conference at that festival, Fraser had high praise for the character he plays in the film, saying it's the most heroic role he's ever played.

The Whale opens in theaters on December 9.
