The Fountain (changed to The Friends of Eddie Coyle) - May 8, 2014 - Springer

Pizza will be provided.


The Fountain is a 2006 film directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan).  I came across it on a list of "25 Films You Should See" or something like that.  The reviews are sort of all over the place.  The list contained lots of movies I really liked, so I thought I'd trust the list maker and try this one. From IMDB: "The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world."  So it's pretty much a movie version of Dawson's Creek, except that it has conquistadors, brilliant scientists and futuristic astronauts and it's not set in Capeside as far as I know.
I am updating so we have our records straight - at the last minute I decided instead to show The Friends of Eddie Coyle, a 1973 crime drama starring Robert Mitchum.

See you Thursday!

  1. I'll miss you but I believe Ben can go! I can't wait to hear the review of what character in The Fountain most identifies with Dawson (brooding!).
