Didnt get to the shop to buy Donnie Darko *huffs*.
Definatly a worth while buy I am considering walking into town and getting it but well I am lazy lol. |
I adored this movie, but didnt quite understand it first time round. The ending is wierd, but brilliant.
|
This is my absolute favorite movie of all time. I know all of the dialogue by heart. It is brilliant. I strongly recommend getting the director's cut. They took out so many amazing and needed scenes for the time cut.
|
Got myself a copy. Well chuffed :D
I think I like it more and the music and atmosphere is just great. Definatly one to watch alone though, to avoid the "whats going on", "I dont get it" comments and just for a better watch. |

BTW has anyone heard about the troubles his follow-up Southland Tales is having? Rumor around town calls it an incoherent piece of shit - I'm intrigued. |
[QUOTE=Roderick Usher;579220]I really liked the theatrical version, but didn't enjoy the director's cut. I actually found the editing to be the right call. The confusion created by the time-loop scenario is part of the beauty of it all.
[QUOTE] Hmmm. I agree that most of the scenes added back in for the directors cut weren't necessary with one glaring exception, the scene with the argument between Donnie and Gretchen. When I first saw the theatrical version of this, I couldn't understand why he acts so weird about her showing up at his house during the Halloween party. It just seemed really disjointed to me. Then when I saw the director's cut, it finally made sense. I also missed the longer conversation with Drew Barrymore's character when she's leaving. I was really glad, after watching all the cut scene stuff, to see that they took out all the scenes that really explain what the intent was and left it more up to taking it as you decided. That's one of my favorite parts about this film and the director's cut has those scenes removed, as well. |
Just saw this movie.It was very good.I was suprised by it.I thought it would be totally different but its still impressed me anyway.Jake was a really good actor in this.I liked his facial expressions,like hes zoned out on cocaine.I recommend this movie to anyone who likes movies that make you think.The ending was weird though,i feel sorry for Donnie.

I love this film, haven't watched it in a long time but after reading through all these posts I've decided to watch it again now.
|
Donnie Darko makes me cry. It's a beautiful, beautiful film.
"CELLAR DOOR"! |

Time travel and the necessity of certain things having to happen for everything else to be okay with the world. Hence, Donnie sacrificing his life for everything to be okay but given the opportunity to put everything right before he goes. Classic manipulation for poor ol' Donnie but then life can suck at times! The Mothman is part of this, too!!! :p |
It's okay I guess. Really just lot a Hot Topic hype bs...
If you dig it, check out The Machinist. I really got into that.. It's got Christian Bale in it. (American Psycho) |
Not as good as Donnie Darko...but The Machinist is a pretty good flick. If you liked The Machinist, I recommend The Jacket. Great movie, and a good mind-fuck, like these.
|
I've seen the Jacket. Maybe it's just all the hype there was for it, certainly didn't live up to my expectations.
|
Fine movie. I especially like (was it frank?) the rabbit.

Donnie Darko and The Machinist, love 'em both, very good, even great films. I haven't seen the director's cut of Donnie Darko yet, however. I liked The Jacket as well, damn decent film and much better than I expected. But I haven't really had a desire to see it again. |
The Jacket? I thought about renting it. It seemed like a crappy independent flick, was it any good?
