I thought they disgraced James Horner's The Mask of Zorro score. The trailer reeks of small budget, poorly executed indie "I'm going against the grain and made a unwatchable film." air. And I don't like Black's affectatious Spanish accent. In short, what I saw in the trailer was bad acting, bad filmmaking, attempts at slapstick and inane comedy--all those things that I hate and you love about film.
Regarding The Weatherman the whole point of the film is that Michael Caine's character knew what it takes to make a family work but also knew that his son had to figure it out on his own. Nicolas Cage's character was too stupid to see why he failed and at the end of the film was left unchanged. I think The Weatherman is an important film warning how not to live your life.
You're pissed over The Fountain because you had no clue what to expect, despite the fact that I urged you to see Requiem for a Dream first. Had you done this, you would have known going in what kind of a filmmaker Aronofsky is and would have been prepared for an introspective film that fit together perfectly and could only be expressed as the conglomeration of the parts as no one idea could be discussed without referencing the others in the film. It is for this reason that I never could properly review the film because for me, it was a rotating triangle built upon the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
