LLC, both Last Days and The Fountain are high on my list of movies to see next.

You're right about Aronofsky being one of the best visual directors, at least compared to everything that I've seen. He would have been incredible directing Choke and I agree that trailer clip seemed very flat. I'm hoping that little bit they showed was a bad example as to how the finished product looks.

I have a question for those of you more educated on how films are made. I'll continue to use Aronofsky as an example. First off, does he edit his own movies? Because sometimes I think an editor can make a director look really good or really bad, and Pi and Requiem for a Dream had amazing editing sequences. I am just curious how much input directors normally have in the editing process.
