Quick note on The Fountain :
Aronofsky is obsessed with making movies about obsession. In this case, a physician driven to find a permanent cure for death (and try to save his loving wife)
Thus far, it’s not my favourite in the Aronofsky catalogue ,however, there is a beautiful story here. It’s confusing initially but that isn’t a bad thing sometimes. The viewer is forced to either, make sense of it, or move on.

Is that the movie with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz!
I love that movie tbh but I’m a sucker for bad movies 😂 eg. I loooooove The Scorpion King 👀😂

That’s the one. I don’t think It’s a bad movie. I’m just weighing it against the rest of the directors efforts.(I’m currently reviewing all of them with a focus on his singular style)
I have not seen the Scorpion King yet, but I’m guessing my favourite movie is way worse 🙃

Just saw it’s the same dude who did Requiem for a Dream, so in comparison I’d go with that being the better one. But I have a special love for “bad” films.
The Scorpion King is a spinoff of The Mummy Returns (Brendan Fraser/Rachel Weisz, I adore both The Mummy and Returns). It has The Rock as the king reprising his role haha.
My other favourite “bad films” are akin to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Little Nicky, and Constantine, Reign of Fire haha
