Requiem For A DreamYear Released: 2000 Anybody else here have the desire to cum all over Pink's face? No, nothin' to do with the movie, just lookin' to see how far I've strayed from the pack's all. Here's the deal; mother, son, best friend and girfriend descend into hard-core drug addiction on Coney Island. Talking refrigerator, teeth-grinding, arm-sawing, ass-to-ass mayem ensues. Pi was Aronofsky's shot across the film-going bow, but this fucker was a direct hit. Imagine Trainspotting without the humor and you're close. Not that there's not some funny shit here, it's just that it's buried so deep in irony that any laugh you may manage to get will be squashed pretty quick. The film starts off with the beloved Goldfarb son stealing his mom's T.V. for the umpteenth fucking time and selling it for dope (the short exchange with the guy who buys it is fantastic; it ends with the declaration that the mother needs her son, "like a moose needs a hat rack"). It al goes downhill from there. In a bid to loose poundage, the matriarch gets hooked on uppers, while her son, his girfriend, and his best chum drink deep from the heroin well. It all ends in tears and chaos. The 90's brought that great urban legend of heroin chic, and this film is a calculated, blistering answer to that fucking shit. These people's lives suck at the top of the overture, and Aronofsky spares us nothing in the slow burning of each soul. The best part, the shit-'n'-giggles, is how the interrelations between the characters serve as the catalyst for their collapse. The son can't deal with his mom becoming a junky, so he turns to- you guessed it- dope. Jennifer Connelly, lovelorn for this douche of a son, follows him down the rabbit hole of One Big Score, as does the Wayans kid (who turns in a damn fine performance here). The final act of all of this is just too fucking sick to spoil. The film is packed tight with top-notch performances and a script that allows the actors to stretch. But make no mistake, this is Aronofsky's show. Top to bottom, the work hometeam put on film is superb. Camera moves, editing the whole nine yards is fucking rock star. Kid's dick must be the size of a fucking elephant leg, 'cause there's not one safe play in this whole thing, from leaning on Jared Leto for the emotional core of the movie to the abasolutely stunning score put together by Kronos Quartet. If this one hasn't crossed your radar, lock up the booze and valium, toss the razor blades, and park the car down the block, a safe distance from the garage. This one will fucking get to you. Get it and love it. Save Yourselves, 'Nuff Sugar

This movie was great.
Funny, tragic, and....well, just watch it.
Another movie I recommend for Connely fans is The House of Sand and Fog. She is definately one of my favorite actors.
While we are here, I wonder if Big Sugar has seen Funny Games with Naomi Watts?

That's it.

DRINK UP ME'HEARTIES YO HO!
I'm not the only one here I
I'm not the only one here I hope who can't wait for Darren Aronofsky's next flick The Wrestler to come out soon.
Seriously
Big Sugar.
There is a time and place for profanity. But asking if I want to cum on Pink's face is disgusting. I've worked with her and she is great. Reading that makes me want to puke and never come back to this website. It is very rude.
Please find some manners, dude.

If marco, in his infinite wisdom, being the operator of this site orders me to take this post down, I will be perfectly happy to do so. Until such time, I think I'd rather use my judgement concerning what I think is right or wrong when it comes to anything I write. Not yours. If you find that offensive, I'd take this opportunity to ask you what your credentials are, and why I'd want to defer to you in the case of what I choose to write.
That said, I have posted a dozen reviews and hundreds of posts in which I have, among other things, expressed an interest in crawling into Erika Eleniak's puss-puss, offerd to swallow David Mamet's jizz, and detailed my rigorous masterbation routine. I have a blog post calling women "evil whores," a script in which alien infested teenage girls rape other teenage girls, I asked a guest on the radio if she thought vampires might consider menstrual blood a snack, and I am never, ever sick at sea. If you mean to take me out, lady, with all due respect, you better bring some fucking kryptonite. Not only that, but I will never, ever meet Pink. She will never know who in the purple Jesus fuck I am, and if she ever did, I promise you she won't fucking care. So, I'm just wondering, why do you? You'll never meet me for that matter, why would you give two shits what I think, write or say. See, I don't think you really care. If I would've written "Anybody else here think Pink is hot?" you might've come around with a cute story about how you once worked with her and she is indeed hot and a strong woman to boot, and how you admire blah, blah, blah. All I did is say I'd like to fuck her.
D-May, I mena no disrespect to you, but you can't honestly think that this is my worst transgression. And as far as you and your relationship to Pink goes, tell her I think she's fucking hot and yeah, I'd love to blast her in the face. And since none of that will come to pass, I think it's funny to say it. In fact, the best part of the joke is that I'll never get the chance to do that ever, ever, ever.
Sleep tight, baby, the world's still spinnin' despite me bein' alive. You'll get used to it.
If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.
IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.
Leaving KC
Donna, I'm sorry you felt like puking and never coming back to this site, however I want to be very clear that KC since its very conception has been against censorship. Everyone in this site will always be free to say and post anything within the confines of US Law. If you choose to stay in KC, please know that you will continue to find this kind of offensive talk (and probably much worse) in the future. You are certainly free to post your own responses to it anytime; our no-censorship philosophy goes both ways, and of course, you are also free to leave. I personally hope you will stay because I appreciate the progress with your film that you usually blog about, but that's not why I'm posting this. I'm only posting this to state for the record that its reasonable to expect a fair amount of offensive/controversial material here in KC, as it befits a place with no censorship, and that that is normal for us, so take it in consideration when deciding whether to stay.
Take care,
Marco
THE MAD HATTER
DONNA MAY--
This site has a wild bunch. For example, there are the Pirates of Karma--and then there are the karmaCritters. And then there is BigSugar. whew
So what, he made an expression. I recently had a chick friend of mine mention an actor whose dick she would take all the way down and try not to choke on it. They are just expressions. They might be explicit. But so what? I see that picture of Jen C. up there and my first thought is, "I want to lick her until my tongue falls off and be known as the mumbler for the rest of my life cause my tongue got lost somewhere in her pussy". So what. Do you see what I'm getting at? I love Jen C. She's smokin'. And she is a great actress. In fact, if a beauty such as her ever did want to do some la la la with me, I wouldn't know where to start. It's just expressions. When a man wants to cum for a woman, or on a woman or whatever....it isn't rude--it is a normal reaction to someone they find attractive. What's rude to say is this. "That bitch is so ugly, I wouldn't cum for her with your dogs dick" Can you imagine how that would make a girl feel? That's rude.
But in all whatever cases, all of these members are very supportive people. BigSugar isn't the only one with a mouth someone might find foul or offensive. But it's just the nature of some of us here.
Donna, you've been a strong supporter of this website. Why would you leave? So what, someone said something you didn't like. You know how many people have said personal things about me? About me. ME. Not Pink or whomever. ME. I'm still here. Why would I leave? I get wild and start battles, but I don't leave.
Some people express themselves differently. Just cause you don't, doesn't mean that person did anything wrong. What if I worked in Porn, and posted blogs about how this dildo got slammed up this big tittie chicks ass, and it took me three takes before I got the shot, her ass bled and we had to call a butt surgeon blah blah blah. Doesn't that make me unethical? I'm speaking freely about what I was working on.
BigSugar does his weekly movie review. And that's the way his reviews go. And that's not only his voice, but his sort of "hook" or "gimmick". To review movies the way people really talk about movies. Our review section, including our radio show was NEVER meant to be proper in any way or like Siskel and Roeper. And to some, yes, they might find it offensive or out of hand--or you can look at it from the perspective of being entertaining instead of reading the same kind of normal boring movie review you would get from other movie websites.
And if it bothers you, just like anything else, you just simply don't read it. Listen to it. Or watch it.
I know BigSugar did not mean to offend you or anyone else.
You and I have been good internet friends. Even have spoken on the phone. Don't leave. All of KC has been proud to have you as a member here. It would be a shame to lose you or anyone else simply because of blah.
Besides. You've been keeping us all up on the process of getting your film made. We've all been here since the beginning. It would be cool to see it all the way through and see what you did.

On The Brain
The Irony...
is that this thread is about one of the most expostive films ever made about human depravity to the extent of almost a loss of ones's soul to drug abuse.
Certainly losing your soul is worse than engaging in the activity mentioned in the original post.
The "ATA" scene in RFAD involving one of Hollywood's best, Jennifer Connelly, is, among other visuals in the film, is on the bottom rung of "profanity" to say the least.
Filmmaking, and probably even modern movie-watching, requires a bit of a blocking of the "offense" receptors or a desensitization, if you will.
So, we find ourselves in a group of those with more than a passing interest in the process of showing both the light and dark of life.
Furthermore, anyone offended by the original post would be best to pass on this classic film.
