Our tastes are similar and I tend to agree with your views on movies more often than not. And it's not like others' reactions to <i>The Fountain</i> have been positive. Right now I am hoping for the best, but it seems possible that Aronofsky may have produced his first misfire.Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19928059.post-33982288251822182952006-09-17T11:23:00.000-04:002006-09-17T11:23:00.000-04:00Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean I didn'...Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean I didn't understand it. You can't truely live without death, time and space are interconnected - I got the themes.
