Movie Quote of the Day – Black Swan, 2010 (dir. Darren Aronofsky)
Thomas Leroy: What did you do? What did you do?
Nina Sayers: I felt it.
Thomas Leroy: What?
Nina Sayers: . . .perfect. It was perfect.
Movie Quote of the Day – The Wrestler, 2008 (dir. Darren Aronofsky)
Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson: I just want to tell you, I’m the one who was supposed to take care of everything. I’m the one who was supposed to make everything okay for everybody. It just didn’t work out like that. And I left. I left you. You never did anything wrong. I used to try to forget about you. I used to try to pretend that you didn’t exist, but I can’t. You’re my girl. You’re my little girl. And now, I’m an old broken down piece of meat. . .and I’m alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don’t want you to hate me. [beat] Okay?
New Posters For Aronofksy’s “Black Swan”
These posters. I just can’t even describe my love for these posters.
The film hit the festival circuit earlier this fall to almost universal acclaim. The film opens on December 3rd.
“Love and Other Drugs” To Open, “Black Swan” To Close AFI Fest 2010
Edward Zwick’s film is set to open the festival on November 4th. This could give the Jake Gyllenhaal/Anne Hathaway film Love and Other Drugs just the right kind of push to get launched into the 2010 Awards Season. I’m really excited for film. It’s set to open wide on November 24th, just in time for Thanksgiving.
Darren Aronofsky’s psychological thriller starring Natalie Portman is set to close the festival on November 11th. Portman is already the front-runner for Best Actress this year based on the buzz the film has already generated on the festival circuit. Black Swan is set for a limited release on December 1st.
Let’s not forget, as well, that AFI Fest has hired David Lynch as their first ever guest artistic director. I feel like I would LOVE to go to this festival. Hopefully one of you can go for me and revel in its awesomeness!
Trailer and Poster For Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”
This looks incredible. So much crazy. I love pretty much everyone in the cast: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey and Winina Ryder.

Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” – First Look
Darren Aronofsky is certainly one of Hollywood’s most unusual filmmakers. I haven’t seen 1998′s Pi, but I hear it is strange. I’ve only seen 2001′s Requiem For A Dream once because it freaked me out so hard. 2006′s The Fountain was beautifully shot, but not all that well received by critics. 2008′s The Wrestler was brilliant. I still think it should have been up for Best Picture and as much as I loved Sean Penn in Milk, Mickey Rourke should have won that Oscar. Later this year he’s releasing what is being called a “supernatural ballet drama/thriller” starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Winona Ryder, Sebastian Stan, Barbara Hershey and Vincent Cassel. Today we finally get a peak at the film’s visuals, thanks to USAToday and FirstShowing.net.
