Honest to goodness chills.

This was such a bizarre movie. I need to watch again, it's been awhile.

Ilikethepixies 6 years 10 months ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	Haha, such a good line. Matt- I want to redact my statement about Eternal Spotless Sunshine of the Mind. Its actually not THAT bad of a movie. Punch Drunk Love, Lost in Translation, and Little Miss Sunshine are terrible, terrible movies. They take themselves way too seriously, and in the case of Little Miss Sunshine... it gives itself way too much credit for being witty and ironic. You can just tell that the filmmakers were sitting back thinking: "Woah ho ho... look how awesome this is... a drug addict grandfather, a teen that doesn't talk, a motivational speaker, a guy that just tried to kill himself and a little girl all driving in this funky bus. God damn we're witty. People are going to fucking flip! Oh, oh... lets make the guy that tried to kill himself gay. That'll really blow their asses!" I don't think Donnie Darko is of that ilk at all. There was a quality movie with lots of thought and care taken with the writing and execution of the film, and it shows. Its not a bunch of jackasses trying to make a movie to show how fucking clever they are. Oh, and don't get me started on Lost in Translation! FUCK... They should have called it "2 Hours of People Walking Around Looking at Shit".

Especially Dogma. "Check it out! A GIRL as God, Stoners as the prophets, Angels that use guns and cuss a lot, and a monster made out of shit! How hip and unconventional! Now if I can only convince Chris Rock to scream at the top of his lungs for every line, I'll have a hit. College kids in coffee shops EVERYWHERE will be talking about how clever the whole goddamn thing is!"

System 6 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	I own the director's cut of Donnie Darko. There's transitions in the film that really do help. They're excerpts from the book in the movie. The movie does become much deeper.

kerfootb 6 years 10 months ago Posts: 288	Yeah I love Donnie Darko too. I can really relate to Donnie. P.S. You pixie, on the other hand, are totally wrong about "Little Miss Sunshine." I own it and my dad and younger brother love it too. They make the family one of the screwdest ever but we still found a way to relate to them and love them.

Also, kerfootb, good for you. You bought into what you were being sold. I'm just more critical than you and your dad and your younger brother, which both seem lovely.

Mmmmm, Mr. Pibb. Now there's a beverage you don't see very often. Same goes for Jolt cola. Anyway, D.D. was a great film and remember how freaked out I was by the story line of the film, but that made it all the more intriguing. The story of what would happen if you were for a brief time, in control of your destiny. Donnie Darko cheated death only to face it again with no prior knowledge of it happening once the Tangent Universe had collapsed. Anything that had happened, never happened, anyone that he met, would never have met him. But as Donnie had told Cherita Chen "Everything will be better for you someday." it was so. Not to mention through this film was answered one of the universe's greatest mysteries. How did Smurfs reproduce? I wonder if we all weren't a part of Ilovethepixies own Tangent Universe. The only difference is that we will never forget him.

I own the dvd, which is weird for me, I usually just download movies. I only BUY epic movies. It has so many great special features. I also loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but its not as watchable as Donnie Darko.
