"What’s most important, though, is that The Fountain vaults Aronofsky to a new level as a filmmaker. Before he was a cult director, a fringe talent who appealed to the film geeks and the people who look to the edge. The Fountain’s not a mainstream movie – it’s really ****ing smart, for one thing – but the director who made this movie is a man coming into his own. The Fountain is beautiful, gripping and utterly transcendent. It’s the best film of 2006."

It's been getting great reviews and Hugh's performance is said to be award-worthy.

I plan to be first on line!

Well, I might be behind Plum!

I still wonder what Brad Pitt would have been like in this story.

(opening day of The Fountain -- outside the movie theater)

Jerby: Hi Addy!

Addy: Oh, hi Jerby!

Jerby: What are you in line for?

Addy: The Fountain! I can't wait! I LOVE Hugh Jackman.

Jerby: Oh dear.

Addy: What?

Jerby: I guess you didn't hear.

Addy: Hear what?

Jerby: At the last minute, they decided to edit Hugh Jackman out of the film and replace him with Brad Pitt.

Addy: WHAT??

Jerby: Yeah. It happened this past week. HUGE scandal.

Addy: Oh. Well, dammit! Nevermind then. (starts to leave)

Jerby: Hey--do you mind if I take your spot?

Addy: No, go right ahead! I'm just going to go home and watch Kate and Leopold. (sigh) (leaves)

Jerby: YES!!!!

Was THE BOY FROM OZ an actually good play or was it merely a bad play that was slightly elevated due to Hugh's performance? I did not see it.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 7/17/06 at 5:38pm

Hugh gets ready to guard Addy's place in line.

[jrb_actor]

Posted: 7/17/06 at 5:38pm

the latter

[NYadgal]

Posted: 7/17/06 at 5:39pm

Cruel - it was definitely elevated by Hugh's performance, but, I enjoyed it... it had more going for it than many people gave it credit for.

Did I mention it had Hugh in gold lame' pants?

Addy...our Hugh is gonna be so gush-worthy in this!

Can. Not. Wait.

[NYadgal]

First we have Scoop!

It's a Hugh-bonanza!

Please keep in mind that referring to him as 'our' Hugh encompasses quite a few people - and some of us are more treacherous than others

Don't forget that Sean Gullette from Pi is also in it as well.
