  • ianconley, on 02/24/2009, -0/+3This was a great, in depth article.
  • audiooverflow, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2That was one of my favorite scenes in the movie, simply because the game really is a great metaphor for everything going on. Randy thinks he's being cool for having a Nintendo and being a character in it, but the boy seems bored and disinterested. The whole "world outgrowing him" thing, is apt. I can't believe so much work went into creating this one small scene, but Aronofsky has always been one for authenticity.

    Great film. It really should've gotten more respect at the Oscars!
  • evillawngnome, on 02/24/2009, -0/+2Kept trying to submit this, but couldn't due to digg errors. Glad someone else thought this was as cool as i do.
