  1. Not much more weirder than Marisa Tomei and Rourke but I see what you mean 😉 Two excellent flicks, but I’m glad he split them.

  2. Interesting…I think…Hmmm, I’m getting the weirdest picture in my head of Mickey Rourke and Natalie Portman…not pretty! 😀

  3. Lovin’ these little videos Mike and great to hear you enjoyed this film. I thought it was superb and Portman doesn’t half put in a fanatastic show. A great companion piece to Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, which incidentally, he intended them both to be the same film about a relationship between a ballerina and a wrestler before deciding on them being seperate movies.

  4. I guess I fell in love with it because it made me think so much of Polanski’s Repulsion! I can see your point though. 😀

  5. We watched it. Garry would have called it quits long before it was over, but I kept hoping I would start liking it. Is it beautiful visually? Yes. Is it morbid? Absolutely. Life has enough horrors without seeking them out in the movies. I love the ballet and generally love any movie about dance and dancers, but this one? I could admire it, but I didn’t like it. It is on my “never watch it again even by accident” list. Sorry.

  6. lol i’m, erm, looking forward to it xD
    I don’t have any good creepy bug stories, not that that’s a bad thing !! haha

  7. Oh hell no! I don’t even wanna think about it…makes me cringe just thinking about spiders and god only knows what else! horrible things.

  8. LOL!!! I could tell you the story of the creepy crawlies that used to crawl up through the plug hole via the drain pipe that stuck out the back of the farmhouse I used to live in! On second thought that would be too cruel…best to do a blog post about it. Then I can share it with everyone!! 😉

  9. Oh god…I still get scared of monsters crawling up out the plug hole from when I was a kid! I can’t cope with much else!! D:

  10. Trust me! When you re-watch the bathtub scene, you’ll never be able to look at your tub the same way…ever… LOL

  11. haha! Aww you big Jess! I dont even remember a bath tub scene :S definitely need to watch it again! It was one of those films that I loved, then forgot about…oops

  12. I wonder who else was considered lithgowe (not sure if that’s spelled right) would have been great I think.

  13. I keep meaning to re-watch Black Swan, I loved it! Saw it in the cinema with some friends…I remember walking back to the train station talking about it but now I can’t remember what we said about it…that was a shit story! I know what we were saying was positive though. The fingernail bit icked me out a lot!

  14. OMG How could anyone fall asleep while watching this?? The mind boggles!! Of course I’d never fall asleep whilst watching A Beautiful Mind because I refuse to watch anything that Russell Crowe is in! LOL

  15. I was the only one who made it through without falling asleep during that movie in my whole family. Of course the same can be said for A Beautiful Mind.
