Rachel

[edit]

shouldn't Rachel his oscar wining girlfriend be mentioned here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.191.238.147 (talk • contribs) .

Check the opening paragraph. She's in there. SubSeven 23:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Batman

[edit]

Why no mention of all the time he spent trying to develop Batman: Year One?

Robocop

[edit]

his wining RObocop film? interested RObocop script ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.218.197 (talk) 04:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fighter

[edit]

He just won the golden lion in Venice. Shouldn't there be a separate page/section for the movie? http://www.comcast.net/articles/entertainment/20080729/ENTERTAINMENT-VENICE-DC/ LucretiusC (talk) 22:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Wikipedia is not a link farm, and external links added to articles should be resources that are unique in providing detail that cannot be covered in an ideal Featured Article. For example, the interviews with Aronofsky should be implemented instead of being accumulated in the EL section. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:59, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Machine Man

[edit]

The link to Machine Man is misleading. Aronofsky latest project is based on an online serial novel by Max Barry, not the Machine Man comic books.

Comments re-posted here from User Talk:Bruce Campbell

[edit]

The following comments from User Talk:Bruce Campbell, the talk page of an editor who has made extensive edits to Darren Aronofsky, have been re-posted here in order to explain in detail my edits.

Hi, Bruce. You're doing some terrific work at Darren Aronofsky, with the expanded lead and well-cited early life sections in particular. Your sections on his films, which seems like a lengthy, ongoing process for you, are also very good. I would say that, in fact, that the bulk of these sections would be very appropriate to have in the bluelinked main articles for these films themselves. Once a "main article" link goes in, and you've rightly inserted here, the sections here per guidelines only need to be a brief, even single-paragraph summary. Before you expend more effort on created lengthy sections in this article for individual films, I thought another editor should bring this up. If there's any help I can offer, please do ask. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 03:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. Just a couple of technical points, easily corrected. We can't say things like "currently" or "recently", etc., due to WP:DATED, which disallows undated references; that's why you'll see things like "As of 2010" in a lot of articles. Also, watch out for conversational tone; we used last names only after first full-name mention. Hope this helps! --Tenebrae (talk) 03:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry you've chosen not to discuss policy/guidelines-violation issues at Darren Aronofsky, including the fannish, non-encyclopedic tone of referring to "Darren" as if he is a personal acquaintance, which begs the question of WP:COI. The overly laudatory phrasing throughout makes this article read more promotionally than encyclopedically. Also, the detailed discussions of individual films down to their Rotten Tomatoes ratings more properly belongs in the individual films' own articles. Likewise, there are images and other media here that are solely about the films, such as special effects in The Fountain. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re The Wolverine comment at top of article...

[edit]

...bravo for coming up with "As of January 2011, his former film The Wolverine, was scheduled to begin production in March, but he soon left the project." That has to rank amongst the most convoluted and untidy edits I've ever seen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.11.68.11 (talk) 19:29, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, thats what happens whenever Tommy Wiseau attempts to edit Wikipedia. That error has been corrected. Bruce Campbell (talk) 23:58, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]

This is looking great. Just a couple of minor points:

  • A few of the references use slashes rather than dashes to separate the date numbers - please make sure this is consistent.
  • It would be good to see a little more detail in the early life section - siblings, locations of schools, how/why he wound up in Africa for school etc.
  • The image "Darren by Nico Tavernise" is also published here and a different photographer is cited, suggesting to me that the uploader did not create it himself but took it from the web without authorization. Would you raise the issue with the Commons file reviewers and get their decision on it, or else remove the image?
I have fixed the references, removed that dubious image, and expanded the early life section. I believe I have addressed your concerns. Bruce Campbell (talk) 02:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Are there further complaints? Bruce Campbell (talk) 22:57, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hebrew school

[edit]

I know it should be pretty obvious, but since it's mentioned nowhere on his page, can we add that Aronofsky was raised in a conservative Jewish household and went to Hebrew school as a child?

Picture

[edit]

The image of him is old, and not very flattering. Does anybody have a better, more recent one? Maybe from Black Swan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barrymoran (talk • contribs) 22:23, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Influences in infobox

[edit]

This section of filmmakers' and comedians' infoboxes is a constant source of fannish OR POV. Regarding the supposed Kubrick influence, that claim does not come from Aronofsky but from a reviewer at a defunct site, archived here, who mentions that some critics see some Kubrick inspiration — but the only Google hit where Aronofsky even mentions Kubrick is one indiewire report of a master class he gave at a film festival, which mentions vaguely that he "namechecked" Kubrick amid many other filmmakers and films as recent as Beasts of the Southern Wild.His making passing mention to filmmakers / films that he likes is far from him saying that any of them were a seminal influence on him. Unless something concrete can be found, this is too vague and secondhand to be considered definitive and encyclopedic.--Tenebrae (talk) 22:55, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer Lawrence dating rumors are not confirmed, do not post anything until they are

[edit]

There hasn't been any good confirmation for this, we should at least wait until a direct confirmation from Aronofsky or Lawrence's camp. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:1706:C00B:FDA4:DE50:A4D0:2AEC (talk) 04:07, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yerevan International Film Festival

[edit]

Darren was the recipient of the Parajanov Thaler Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution Into World Cinema at the 2018 Yerevan International Film Festival.

I wasn't able to format properly to add to the table on Darren's wiki page.

Question of postmodernity

[edit]

What are people's perspective on this? On the one hand modernity vs. postmodernity is not a matter of era, most of Aronofsky's films would objectively be considered modernist films, however it's true that Pi has been associated with both postmodern aesthetic and arguably epistemology. I still believe that his films in general correlate to modernist thought, so the question is whether one film should warrant the categorization? YouCanDoBetter (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heterosexual playing a homosexual

[edit]

Is that really controversial? I have always thought that acting was playing the part you are not. Whoever does the best in the audition should be cast for the role. (78.19.32.143 (talk) 23:51, 4 February 2023 (UTC))[reply]

It shouldn't be, nor should the controversy relating to The Wrestler have been, but unfortunately if controversy is raised, even by people who don't know what they're talking about, it's considered "notable" when widely reported on. The best way to deal with disingenuous controversy is to find respectable commentary that gives an intelligent context. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 00:00, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Height in infobox

[edit]

Is there a reason the height is mentioned in the infobox? It's not relevant to his job, I don't think it's common to do that for directors, and it just feels kind of weird to have it there. 2A0A:A545:21F:0:4871:8F33:3140:2B0C (talk) 15:38, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
