I don't see a trailer yet for some reason.

Good to see Fraser getting some more film work, He's been good on tv in the show Doom Patrol.

I've heard good things about Doom Patrol.

Not sure I'll ever get around to seeing it, though.

Personally I'm more interested in this for Darren Aronofsky. I've liked a lot of his films.

Brendan Fraser can do a serious role, he was very good in 'The Quiet American (2002)', add Aronofsky and I'm in.

Damn looks like the story of Silent Master.

JUST

.

Goddamn, 'tard. What the f#ck?

Before I scrolled all the way down, I thought those were vanilla ice cream bars with varying degrees of milk and dark chocolate coating :/

Is this some actual footage? I'm not sure...

Fan made.

But is it footage from the movie or from something else? 🤔

My wife was *this* close to buying tickets for a screening of this which also featured a live Q&A with the director and Brandon Fraser afterward, but the tickets sold in in under 5 mins. God damn it.

Dude.

anyone watch yet

I have an ominous feeling that this will be a mixture of The Wrestler and.......the Mr. Creosote sketch ........ ......

Jesus christ, there is so much hype around this and it doesn't come out until December?

Probably not a good thing at this point. Even if it's a very good movie, it won't live up to the uber levels of hype surrounding it.

Well that's a very subtle and vague trailer. I may leave it at that and just wait to see the movie.

If they've given the lead to Christian Bale, Bale would have gained the 250lbs for the role.

Did any of you b!#ches see this yet?

This b!#ch did.

Fraser did a solid role most of the time, a few of the scenes felt overly forced though. The film is a kick in the balls emotionally and honestly hard to watch at times, with his super-extreme obesity, obsessive compulsive eating, his general sad state and his relationship with the various other characters.

I do recommend it though.

I am still somewhat upset that this was not the plot

Fraser trying to connect with his daughter is similar to the Wrestler and there is binge eating.

So you're not entirely wrong.

I have plans to see this tomorrow night. So that's cool. 😎

Watched this. Really liked it, as I often do with Darren Aronofsky.

It deserved a Best Picture nomination, imo. Got robbed.

Brilliant little play put to film.

It's amazing how much more sprawling movies can bore you to death and this film barely leaves the little apartment and is captivating.

I give it a 9-10/10.
