What he said. The things it mentions (a connection between the legend of the fountain of youth and the tree of life from the garden of eden) are -very- cool, but don't get much play. The plot is a touch confusing, but it's easier to swallow if you know it's a (spoilers) flashback from 500ish years l...

Donnie Darko, which is a movie people either absolutely love or totally hate. The Fountain is sort've a music video movie. The good news? The music is included. The plot is rather thin, but that's mostly cos the -insanely- pretty visuals eat it alive. I walked out of the theate thinking Arnofson (sp...

The Fountain

I saw this last night. It's beautiful. The plot is very, very fragmented (covering three seperate stories spread over a 1000 or so year long timeline), and it's ending is more than a little strange. This is usually a dealbreaker for me, but the power of the films imagery and the strength of it's the...

He hasn't exactly been treated well by the industry - he more or less wrote 3.0, and was subsequently fired in the months following.

If the kid had been smart, he would have done exactly as the cops asked, and filed a grievance if he -really- thought he was being discriminated against. That said, those cops are dumb.
