I didn't think Donnie Darko was very good. It seemed like the kind of movie naive alterna-teens would like. (I can just imagine some bondage-pant-clad, "misunderstood", loser saying "whoa, that was twisted!" or "what a mind-fuck!" etc.) The fact is, this movie said absolutely nothing that hasn't been said before. I mean, not that I'm much for originality, but this movie seemed like it was pretending to be something it was not. This is the kind of movie high school creative writing students cream themselves over while whining and crying about how no one understands them... all while at the local coffee bar with their journal/sketchbook/whatever.
