We're Spanning Time
At long last, there's a full trailer for Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. I don't know what to say, other than that it's pretty beautiful. That last shot looks like nothing I've ever seen before.
I like the futura-bold font face, too. A bold move, but one that might be entirely appropriate, if the movie's as good as the whispers about town suggest...
I hung out with Jake Vaughan (of The Cassidy Kids and Dear Pillow fame) a few times this week; it's so great to be able to touch base with like-minded individuals out here - especially when they're Texas ex-pats who love Gus Van Sant's Gerry. Last night, we had dinner and drinks over at Jay Duplass' place, where we mourned the loss of all the cool coffee shops in Austin and discussed the akward art of the pitch.
Tonight, I've planned a double feature of Ozon's Time To Leave and Monster House. I think I'm equally excited about both films.
Tomorrow, I'm going to drive up to San Francisco. My sole reason for going is to see comprehensive Matthew Barney: Drawing Restraint exhibit at SFMOMA. In the interest of perhaps stealing a few pictures, and for future use in general, I went out and bought a digital camera yesterday. I already sort of hate it - there aren't even any fake manual controls! I feel lost without a focus ring, or at least a focus button.

I really wish I could make that drive with you my friend. I hate to miss a chance at a good ol' fashion male-bonding road trip.

I know. The Fountain's trailer almost made me cry. Darren Aronofsky can inspire me even with just his trailers.
Oh, by the way, I'm going through your assorted shorts. The one that left me the deepest impression thus far is the one where you rip your own guts out. Whoohoo.

Edmund - I think that's probably one of my all-time best. And definitely my most personal.
I've stopped watcing the trailer - I don't want to be too familiar with the imagery when the movie comes out.

Oh yeah, this is where I saw the link to The Fountain trailer. What a great trailer, and I'm very much looking forward to what Aronofsky cooks up.
