Watch the Darren Aronofsky-Directed Revlon Ad Starring Jessica Biel and Pharrell

The good news: Jessica Biel got her chance to work with Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky! The bad news: It was for a Revlon commercial about lash-plumping mascara. And, well, it's no Black Swan; now there's a movie that knew its way around a make-up brush. Watch Biel pout and bat her lashes in soft focus in Aronofsky's least-daring work to date after the jump.

Personally, I'm digging Shia LaBeouf's Kid Cudi video more than this piece of B&W fluff, in which poor Pharrell is pulling all the weight. (Singing? Acting? Staggering under the invisible force of Jessica Biel's eyelash-fluttering? This man can do it all!) At least Shia's fuzzy footage gives the impression that he and Cudi just got high one night and picked up a flipcam. How many millions of dollars in set dressing, soft-focus lenses, and star salaries went into this Revlon joint?
