probably my favorite Aronofsky movie along with Pi Same! I think a lot of it has to do with it being a kind of a sad, sappy and dark from the start or something, I don’t know. I just feel like people don’t necessarily like the vibe and mood of it (as if something like Requiem for a dream is any more hopeful or upbeat). It’s a very powerful movie.
Yeah, my parents went from chucking EVERYTHING in the same bin, food waste, cardboard, paper, batteries, whatever it is it went in the same bin and it smelled like death and leaked every single time. Now they recycle cardboard, at least milk cartons. I mean sure, there’s some change, but what use is it when the change should be pretty fucking big to make a difference - like you say, too little too late.
I’m glad this is happening while most of the Boomers are still alive, they can see exactly what kind of world they’re passing on to their grandchildren before they go.
LMAO as if they give a shit. I talked with my parents about how they’re so privileged to be able to be so carefree (read: careless) about everything while I probably won’t ever see retirement or necessarily be able to drink water from the tap (we have excellent water) like they do and it was like I was talking an alien language. They don’t give a fuck.
It is! Clint Mansell and Aronofsky are a match made in heaven, but The Fountain is one of favorite soundtracks of all time and the one I listen to the most. I don’t tend to listen to soundtracks all that much, but I find myself listening to the Fountain all the time
I was honestly a little shocked to find The Fountain rated so low, Tomatometer (fuck the tomatometer anyway, audience score is where it’s usually at) was 52% with scathing reviews, the audience score fortunately remedied the situation with 74% cause I was seriously starting to look for another site.
And for it’s opposite: The Blair Witch Project is 86% vs 56%. I haven’t seen it in ages, have been planning to, but it was one of my favorite movies for a while.
Castlevania, Zelda and Silent Hill (though I’d say all first 3) mentioned so I’m gonna say Alundra. Sure it’s very Zelda/JRPG, but that game had some amazing music that just sticks with you.
Also a little tongue in cheek, but Adventures of Lolo. I’m not sure if there’s just one song throughout the trilogy, but it sure feels like it. Weirdly it doesn’t bother you. It’s like a hypnosis that just makes you play one more level. One more try. Kind of like the Tetris soundtrack, but it never gets old.
