donnie_darko silentbob i watched it, and fell asleep. so i watched the end this morning. and when it was over i rewound it and watched it again. 020914 ... Human Behavior Great movie, though I had to watch it twice to understand it. 020914 ... god i watched it four times. if you see it in the video store, get it 020914 ... basho the pine tree of Karasaki seemed to be in a haze, not because of the hazy spring moon, but because of vapor rising from the lake. 020914 ... kingsuperspecial I watched this last night. it made me sad, because donnie is real. it made me sad because there is a tiny donnie inside me. it made me sad because he had to die to be happy. I was also a little pissed that, like ever other movie on earth, no matter how fucked things are, there always seems to be a perfect love that's as easy to stumble across as sitting next to the cute boy in class. that is, of course, total fucking bullshit. Other than that, though, it as a mad brilliant movie that I will buy and watch about 500 times. 020923 ... silentbob i hope no one reads this who hasn't seen the movie. 020923 ... kingsuperspecial I don't think I gave anything away that isn't obvious, especially if you've seen more than 3 American movies. Hollywood, no matter how "different" the film, can rarely keep themselves from throwing in a perfect heterosexual love affair between the film's star and some pefect mate. Of course, in the interest of not spoiling the movie, didn't mention the scene with the meat grinder, or the lurking one-eyed sherrif, or the way they eventually overcome all the obstacles and live happily ever after. 020924 ... She Try and figure out the website. www.donniedarko.com 030127 ... IKC 56-80 mad_world 030127 ... screwing for virginity i saw the movie once, but my brother took it back before i could re watch ti and thus understand it fully. btw, i want franks suit!! 030127 ... bespeckled I haven't seen the movie. I've only been to the website. And I'm freaked out. 030207 ... Hairthief Excellent film, I just don't want to spend too long thinking about the plot. I get the feeling if I try to work out what happened then I'll lose the impact. One warning, anyone who maybe be a little emotionally unstable, don't watch it, it could very well tip you over the edge. The ending with that slow version of "mad world" is just excellent. Quality, both depressing and uplifting at the same time. It gets it's message across in a way that isn't preaching or hollywood happy. I'll stop there, just watch it. 030208 ... nocturnal made me feel stupid because I had to use the phrase, "wait, I don't get it." cuz I think I don't get it. 030208 ... bespeckled rent the DVD and watch with director's commentary. It clears up a lot. (Yes, i rented it today, after getting freaked out by the website) 030208 ... wandering stars what is there to not get? 030209 ... silentbob there are a lot of questions left unanswered and a lot of it is open to interpretation which is how the director intended and if you watch the commentary you are just hearing the explanation of how he thought of it, and then goes on to explain why he cut certain scenes that would explain things more to one side as opposed to it being open to interpretation 030210 ... "bunnyboy" frank makes my nipples hard 030210 ... la gazza ladra every living thing on this earth dies alone 030219 ... night watched it at school, in photography.. i can say it was the best movie i ever saw in school. i was pleasently surprised. 030220 ... trixi_lix i dream of a film so maginificent, did the maker read my mind? how can we have such similar thoughts? what gave him the strength and wit to write his down and make it into beautiful insights into the human condition? perhaps now i can be brave enough to write my own, yet i fear i cannot deliver such mastery... 030224 ... trixi_lix can he read my mind? my thoughts are spread all over this film, even before i knew i'd thought them... 030224 ... trixi_lix i want to tell the world to watch this film.. its amazing the filmaker read my thoughts before i even knew i had them 030224 ... trixi_lix oops.. how come the previous messages which didnt post worked out on my third attempt? oh well, i mean evey thing i say.. again and again and... 030224 ... thefuddyduddy How come you're wearing that stupid man suit?... Brilliant. 030227 ... laGazzaLadra it got some press today on Fresh Air the reviewer about wet himself loving it donnie you understand us 030228 ... niska ...don't do what donnie don't does. 030306 ... Photophobe where is donnie? 030307 ... niska art expresses the artists intent - there should be no confusion, because you find what you're looking for, and how it relates to you. a film's quality is in its story - beyond that basic premise, evrything else is just art for art's sake. 030308 ... splinken when he and gretchen are jumping together on the trampoline. yeah. 030318 ... Piso Mojado when he kneels before her, with his head pressed against her stomach, her hands on his head. OH yeah 030318 ... dib I've actually used the phrase "I want it to be at at ime that reminds me how beautiful life can be " [paraphrasing] on a boy I['m seeing. it worked 030325 ... tortuous why is it that the dreams that i'm dying are the best i've ever had? 030831 ... vroom they aren't, it's the depression talking 030831 ... screwing for virginity odd, i was thinking about this movie in the ride home (from school, that i forgot i didnt have today.) 030901 ... celestias shadow i still don't fucking get it! all my friends love it, and i'm still not sure whether it's a brilliant movie or just a mediocre movie posing as a great movie. they all get so offended when i say it. maybe because i was so tired when i watched it. i think i should watch it again. 030903 ... celestias shadow I saw it again last night. Conclusion: it is in fact a brilliant movie and I am now completely in love with it. The slow, lingering shot of them walking up the stairs at the party is just so perfect. Gary Jules 'Mad World' at the end is the second-best use of a song in a movie that I have ever seen. It's amazing. I want to give Frank (at the end) a really big hug. And Sparklemotion still scares the crap out of me. He had to die to save them all. 031115 ... Webley "Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?" "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?" 031118 ... Mandijabster another movie i never heard of until jillian told me how good it was. so i bought it, and it is by far a great movie! ive watched it a gazillion times. if u havent seen it yet, i suggest you see it..unless ur rebecca and have a short attention span. (Rebecca: janvier perhaps i can "borrow" that) shes trying to steal another one! anyways..i suggest you see it..and if ur bored, im sure jillian would like to debate its religious theme and debate whether frank is a good, god figure..or a bad, devilish figure. since im not smart enough for her intelectual discussions. 031207 ... Mandijabster (im also not smart enough to spell intellectual right) 031207 ... whitechocolatewalrus Donnie_Darko is the reason I stumbled upon blather. Now I love it twice as much as I did when I first saw it, which means I love it about twice as much as any other movie I have ever seen. (with fight_club being a close second) 031207 ... fonz First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living if you don't have a dick? 031208 ... pobodys nerfect methinks fonz has blathed on the wrong page. :D I saw donnie darko two times. The first time I caught the last half. The second time I saw a bit more than that. Hopefully the third time I watch,I'll be able to finally watch the whole movie. (And hopefully it'll make more sense then.) I think Frank is cool. Anyway,it has a similar vibe to the movie "Lost Highway". I'd love to own this movie. 031208 ... x so, you've seen it several times, but you don't know what fonz is referring to? 031209 ... pobodys nerfect Main Entry: [2]several Function: pronoun, plural in construction Date: 1686 : an indefinite number more than two and fewer than many Nope,I wouldn't say it was "several" times. I said I watched it TWO times. =P Besides,the first viewing was accompanied by someone who grumbled about how stupid it was the whole fucking time that I was trying to enjoy it. Now about what "fonz" said,I now remember that donnie and his friends talked about that in the film.(My sincerest apologies,fonz). To my defense,the "smurf" topic was on the recent page and it has been known to happen that people here have sometimes put stuff on the wrong page. Also,it was about 3 am or so when I posted. Who thinks clearly at 3 am? I guess this is a sign I should avoid this place in the early morning hours. Or maybe just altogether. 031209 ... no reason avoid this place because you don't think clearly? don't be silly. 031209 ... pobodys nerfect nah,avoiding this place because I'm tired of feeling I have to "edit" everything I say before I say it here. There's no fun in that,and that's why I've stayed away. 031209 ... whitechocolatewalrus pd, your name says it all, you are cool and should come around all the time because as said before, you are cool. i think thats all i have to add. 031209 ... whitechocolatewalrus i meant pn 031209 ... fonz i knew i should have posted about kiddy porn instead of the smurfs... 031210 ... charlie it isn't that some perfect love story just happened--whatever the forces were that were guiding him put her there as another guide. i don't want to give anything away if anyone hasn't seen it, so just think about what happened that led to him meeting her. 031211 ... hmmpf everything happened just the way it should've. its the most perfect movie i've ever watched... like many have already said here, it took the thoughts from my head before i even knew they were there. also had the most effective use of music, especially in the beginning and, my favourite, the party scenes... But it was mad world that did it for me, i bought the soudtrack right after i'd watched it for the millionth time! :D so glad to find others are as obssessed with it as i am... 040220 ... bandersnach the website reminds me of hell.com back when it used to be cool. 040220 ... iNsEcUrE_GoTh_GiRl ok im really embarassed i really didnt get it i was watching it on dvd with some friends, we got bored in the middle, skipped a bit and then didn't get what the fuck it was on about. we saw the end, got a bit sad, went back to the bit we skipped and couldnt make sense of it, so we turned it off and decided that no, we weren't too dense to understand it, the movie was too complicated. obviously. yeah, so im gonna watch it again if i can psych myself up for it. 040220 ... kookaburra this movie was so amazing. thats why i can never watch it again. i'd ruin the moment. 040714 ... shivers and i find it kind of funny i find it kind of sad when people run in circles 040716 ... ivyducktwilightseto it's a very, very 040716 ... silentbob mad_world 040716 ... birdmad after watching it, i kept wondering if i shouldn't catch a ride out and try to find that place off of the old Beeline Highway where Ripper and Todd buried me after my little valium accident and wait for something to happen. Ever since i woke up from that, i've pretty much just been "The Manipulated Dead" 050316 ... anne-girl if you haven't seen it, do 050711 ... megan cellar door 050712 ... akuma aoi i find it hard to tell you 'cause i find it hard to take 050712 ... :) "and how did you feel, being denied these 'hungry hungry hippos'?" 050720 ... Briar~Rose 1# Favourite Movie, the best. 060706 ... pSyche I've watched this movie so many times, and I have seen it differently each time I have watched it... 060706 what's it to you? who go blather from
