Aronofsky is the man but he has the Scorsese curse – a great auteur, the defining vision for his generation but those guys never get the mega budgets because their take is left of center – and I mean that in the most complementary way possible. If this film gets made for 50 mil, it will be a miracle. \”The Wrestler\” was a comedy?

I found the part in the Wrestler when Mickey Rourke\’s fingers get chopped off exceedingly hilarious, and remember doubling up in laughter when I first saw it. Fun times.

Just because a movie has one or two mildly amusing moments doesn\’t make it comedic. Likewise, Fargo ain\’t a sports movie just because it shows a guy watching a hockey game on TV.

Hahaha. I can\’t speak for anyone else but though the Wrestler had great comedic moments (his suspicion of his daughter being a lesbian, some conversations between the wrestlers, his relationship with the boy as examples) I don\’t think they make a film, which tells a tragic story of a broken man, comedic.

But to each his own. I honestly thought that you didn\’t like the film when I read that description. Thankfully, that doesn\’t seem to be the case..

Seriously? The Wrestler had TONS of unexpected comedy in it!!! Surprisingly funny. Sure, it\’s very soulful and dramatic, but there\’s lots of humor in it too.

If you missed that well… ok, well i won\’t say you should take up roller skating as a full time hobby, but, you know…

you guys have a strange sense of humor if you find \”The Wrestler\” to be \”comedic\”. Also, is there any word if this is actually set thousands of years ago, or if this is some apocalyptic update?

The one snag that still might scuttle this film is finding a studio willing to give him full creative control of his mustache.

\”comedic The Wrestler\” um what?

Keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

On a sidenote, funny that \’comedic\’ is one the first things that popped in mind here for The Wrestler

I don\’t know if $65 million would be enough. Aronofsky certainly is capable of making great films with a low budget, but his vision for this story sounds epic and I don\’t think it could ever be made that way for so little.

Maybe he\’s using his experience on \”The Fountain\” to bluff his way into getting this film made. Say it\’s got a $130 million budget but really have a $65 million version planned in his head (which is the version he\’s been hoping to make all along)… Or not.
