Has anyone seen Pi (1998)? Since it's from the director of requiem for a dream it might be worth looking for (I couldn't find it on my first search)? Can anyone share his/hers opinion on this movie?

It is thought provoking I’ll tell you what.
You can rent it at any video rental place. And it is well worth the money heck you might even be ripping of the rental place by paying mere nickels and dimes for the movie. Wink Very Happy

Requiem for a dream is more of an ongoing music video. It’s not a bad movie by all means but it’s been music televisionized aka mtvized (if you get my drift) Pi is a bit more sophisticated and a tad intriguing. So go rent it Wink I have lots and lots and lots of shitty movies on my playlist to watch and pi won’t be on for another week or two and I’ve seen it while back. I think it was after I saw requiem I wanted to see pi and I did. Shocked

it's very...indie
well it's definitely no popcorn movie, but if you're interested in abstract art and a little bit of math it will be well worth the time.
personally i found it pretty interesting, but i like all weird movies Very Happy

Well if you do watch it after seeing requiem you will be very, very, and greatly disappointed. It doesn't have the je ne sais quois, the finesse that requiem had. But never the less it is still a worthy movie Wink

It took me like 50 mins to download requiem for a dream, and it took me like 50 seconds to erase it....
Im not really into the LYNCH-style crap movies.
Watch Mechanist Very Happy


About Hitman: Movie (2007)
Vin Diesel is a hardcore gamer, and absolutely loves the Hitman series. For that reason I have faith that he wont destroy the movie.

Response: Well, Uwe Boll probably loved the Alone in the Dark games.

Requiem is dark-ish
Lynch is dark-ish

Requiem is lynch-ish Laughing

you have to re-watch lynch's movies or have some profound understanding of the human psyche Sad

I have trouble watching lynch's movies Sad After watching them I go what the fuck Shocked Crying or Very sad

Lynchs' movies are described as: confusing, weird, not making sense (on first sight), "artsy"
right, they are also dark (but take a look at "the straight story" Smile ) but that's not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a Lynch movie.

Requiem wasn't confusing at all, but instead incredibly direct, and sad. Sad
