Frank Burns: I don't drink.

Darren Aronofsky will be at Tribeca Cinemas this evening for an advance screening of The Fountain, followed by a dinner and Q&A. I think it's a closed event, however, and I don't imagine I'll be able to go, but there it is. At least go check out the website for the film, Aronofsky's pretty proud of it. Apparently it's done by the same guys who did the website for Pi all those years ago, when websites like it were revolutionary... (p.s. Go to the Pi website. Read his diary. Fucking amazing. Admittedly, I know basically nothing about this man, but suddenly I want to be him.)
