Actual conversation in the bathroom while the closing credits were still going… Dude 1: “You just come out of Black Swan?” Dude 2: “Yeah.” Dude 1: “What the hell was that?” What that was, my friends, was a Darren Aronofsky film. Visual, trippy, and probably the best third act I’ve seen in the past […]
