Wahlberg Watch

WahlbergHeartSmall.jpgMore news to report in the World of Wahlberg: Darren Aronofsky, director of trippy and/or disturbing fare such as "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream," is in final talks to helm "The Fighter," which reteams Wahlberg with his "The Departed" co-star Matt Damon.

"Based on the life of boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and his trainer brother Dick Eklund (Damon), the story chronicles their early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Mass., through Eklund's battle with drugs and Ward's eventual world championship in London. Wahlberg and Damon both hail from Boston, and Aronofsky and Damon attended nearby Harvard University."

This news is really more about Aronofsky, whose most recent film, "The Fountain," received mixed reviews. But we're using it as an opportunity to show off our new Ode to Mark that we created in 10 seconds. It will permanently live on our About Us page as a testament of our devotion to all things Dignam.

Now that we've creeped you out, feel free to go about your day.
