Definitely a great movie, reminds me of ray bradbury science fiction, worth a watch for sure

The Truth Hurts · 08-10-2003, 06:37 AM

the stupidest fucking movie ever.

when it's over, you'll wish you'd just gone ahead and hit yourself with a brick instead.

The Truth Hurts · 08-10-2003, 06:48 AM

it's one of those movies where people who didn't get it, say it was good to make them appear more hip... kinda like they do with mullholland drive.

this guy sums it up.....

Also completely agree. Pretentious BS.

Just curious what you thought of "Signs" also...

donnie darko is an awesome movie. it never made it big because the average person couldn't take it all in. and most people who dislike it simply dont understand it. sad

stupid movie.

SykkBoy · 08-10-2003, 12:33 PM

Great flick. I really liked it.

"Signs"? Total piece of shit.

titmowse · 08-10-2003, 01:07 PM

thanks for the reminder. i need to buy the donnie darko DVD. it's a keeper.

KCat · 08-10-2003, 01:19 PM

Great movie!

Very similar to the Lynch deathbed-fantasizing-what-could've-been style. I always enjoy those types more the second time around when I already know the ending.

MassAppeal · 08-10-2003, 01:30 PM

it was a decent movie, overhyped, corny in some parts... but it was entertaining for 2 hours. isnt that what matters?

Sorry to sadden you with my intellectual inferiority. It must be very frustrating for you to be around so many people who can't understand things on the same level as you.

Do you feel your superhuman intelligence to be a gift or a curse?

BlackCrayon · 08-10-2003, 02:23 PM

well my friends who prefer brainless action flicks hated donnie darko, and those who hate brainless action flicks loved it. personally i thought it was a great movie and while i had to watch it a few times to grasp the 'concept' i thought the movie was great and definatly a nice change of pace from the usual mass marketed crap hollywood has been putting out, at least its not a sequel or a remake.

sacX · 08-10-2003, 02:26 PM

I don't think even David Lynch got 'mulholland drive'

hahahaha

I've watched that movie a few times now. I dunno, theres just something abouy Lynch movies.. I consider myself someone wh can actually watch the movies and not go wtf is this crap and turn it off.

The Truth Hurts · 08-10-2003, 03:35 PM

I read hundreds of "positive" reviews about this brain fart.

They go on and on about how smart it is, how talented the director is, how good the acting was, how stupid the people that didn't like this movie are, the wonderfully dark atmosphre, how well made it was, and every other generic comment one could possibly make, bit not one single fucking review answers the question...

what the fuck was this movie is about?

if you can sum up what a movie is about in a few sentences then it couldn't of been too good in my opinion.

It's been awhile since I watched it.

But to sum it up (if I remember correctly) He avoids a freak accident where he should have died and meets this girl who he is in love with? The girl dies later on in an accident being with him.

He gets sent back to the time before he avoided death and decides to basically commit suicide in order to spare the girls life that he was in love with.

Make sense? Weird movie but worth watching.

damonx · 08-10-2003, 04:36 PM

very good movie

lagwagon · 08-10-2003, 04:38 PM

ya it was pretty cool.
