Scared Straight.

Kidney stones are terrifying. When I have kids, I'm going to scare them straight by taking them to the hospital to witness the pain that is men passing kidney stones especially if it's anything like this. I don't know what I'll be 'Scaring them Straight' from exactly but I don't think it really matters, something will come up.

Saw 'The Wrestler' again today. That film really benefits from Aronofsky's direction more than other film I've seen of late. So many other directors could have really fucked it up. I'm glad he is starting to get praise again, I loved 'The Fountain' and didn't feel the critical backlash against it was justified. As for 'The Wrestler', The first time I saw it the ending touched me an a very emotional way. But the second time I wasn't as impacted by the ending as much as I was the moments of irresponsibility by Rourke's character. We all know people like this, or are people like this. Despite their/our best intentions of making good on the people they/we care most about they/we still find ways to disappoint and hurt them. This is why the film so emotional for anyone who sees it. Aronofsky and Rourke were able to create a man who's entire persona is so completly fake, but is completely identifiable to the audience.
