Donnie Darko

[boldt_action]

If people are looking for a good movie to drop acid or do hallucinagens to, The Doors is a good one. And so is Bringing Out the Dead, the lights in that movie are sweet as hell.
Sure, whatever you crazy kids are doing nowadays.

i'm almost certain that the plot is intentionally left open for interpretation to the point where it's not actually supposed to mean anything.

They're all greased up and waiting. If you hurry, you'll catch them while they still have that new car smell
I wish you weren't a liar... :squint:

[fedhed7]

Love this movie.

[TgE ARTdamage]

its a really good movie. i loved it the first time i saw it. but after a few views its really not "incredible", but it does have a huge following. and in my book, any movie that has a huge following gets points just for affecting a vast amount of people.


When it comes to Jake Gyllenhaal

October Sky > Donnie Darko

[lightcollapse]

this is a great and very well thought out movie, i love it.

[rosieh93]

I don't like movies that think they make you think.

than that might explain why you dont like it. i only like movies that make you think, or you could just not think about it at all becuse it could just be what it is and mot have any hidden meanings

Reading is awesome.

[rosieh93]

I think you're reading into this movie a little too much.

I bet Napoleon Dynamite is your second favorite movie, isn't it?

[Tristan Needler]

Threads about films are for the Entertainment Forum, thank you very much.

[Cato11087]

I followed it just fine.

Mmm I should've said "some" instead of "most". But the people I saw it with and even some people i've talked to about it with said they missed the whole point or whatever. Oh well.

[rosieh93]

I think you're reading into this movie a little too much.

nappoleon dynamite is my least favorite movie of all time. i think in getting into it a bit too much too.
my second favorite movie is the sting.

[rosieh93]

Threads about films are for the Entertainment Forum, thank you very much.
oops. hehe srry

[TgE ARTdamage]

yeah, you've got terrible taste in movies.

[rosieh93]

yeah, you've got terrible taste in movies.

um. i think there are alot pf people out there who would disagree with you that THe Sting is a bad movie. thats like saying robert redford is a bad actor. just no.

[This_Is_The_End]

i watched Donnie Darko tonight ... it was like my 5th time seeing it ... and i finally understand it

[rosieh93]

[rosieh93]

i watched Donnie Darko tonight ... it was like my 5th time seeing it ... and i finally understand it

wow. thats an interestin amout of times to watch a movie without understanding it. it took me 2 to fully understand it. im not criticizing you but if it took me that long i would give up.

[KarolaBloch]

i no but i respect other people ideas.

and its actually 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.
wikipedia rulez. XD
Yes it is. I know that, but I miss typed the 42. I added the 0 cause thats how its written on his arm. but it's cool.

[TgE ARTdamage]

yeah, cause you wouldn't be able to insult my all time greatest movies list, it's too solid of a lineup.

[rosieh93]

[fenderkid212]

I really like this movie

[rosieh93]

DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGONAL MOVIE.. its different than those.. its like the ones you see on disney channel like high school musical the the cheeta girls, but if you think those are quality go ahead and enjoy them. XD

oh yea just to tell you cause you might like it, i know the guy who wrote blow.. and based it on his life.. it think thats kinda cool

[Smithers]

my senior film thesis was on this movie. i wrote about how the film was actually a superhero film.

i dont watch the disney channel, i'm 21. I think if i were watchting it, I'd have some serious developmental issues.

and yes, I know that Blow is based on a true story, hence why I found it to be so good.

And I'll one up you with this: Men Of Honor (cuba fooding jr, robert deniro), is the true story about the first african american navy deep sea diver, and all the events in the movie took place, and were pushed across with great historical accuracy.

Not to mention that Cuba put on the most emotional display of acting I have ever witnessed.

And you're beloved Jake Gyllenhall who played donnie - played Homer in October Sky - ALSO a true story about a group of young men who built rockets for a high school science fair which sparked the life-long intrest in Homer, who to this day - still works for NASA.

[TgE ARTdamage]

by the way - I know my movies. I'm sort of a movie buff. haha, i probably spend a little too much time studying movies and watching them.

im glad you dont watch disney channel, that was my point.
and i was telling you that i know the guy it was based on. i was saying that along with writing it, it was based upon his life, versus someone elses.
and im glad you like those facts.

that's the most interesting top movie list i've ever seen. more interesting than everyone saying pulp fiction.

[concernedparent]

Fantastic movie, one of my all time faves.

[rosieh93]

please lets keep this thread about donnie darko. atleast instead of arguing over stuff.

[TgE ARTdamage]

that's the most interesting top movie list i've ever seen. more interesting than everyone saying pulp fiction.

As good of a director as tarantino (sp?) is, I think that sometimes he over does it a little bit, and that's his downfall when it comes to directing.

And I'm glad you think it's an interesting top movie list - I like to think it's pretty diverse in content, but I also like to think that each movie on that list has a great story line that holds strong throughout the movie, and has a good emotional climax to the movie.

And I think a few of the movies get overlooked by a lot of critics, because they dont really try to relate to film as much as they could. But you know, whatever. It's just another form of pop-culture, and the people are gonna like what they like.

[concernedparent]

Mulholland Drive, mmmmm. Fans of donnie darko would like this movie I think.

[rosieh93]

Donnie Darko is a great movie, but it leaves most people scratching their heads wondering "What the fuck happened?".

which is the reason i basically made this thread. for intellectual discussion. like that would actually happen.

[TgE ARTdamage]

uh, i'm pretty sure that some of the replies have been fairly "intellectual" in regaurds to my top films of all time.

but you're probably just in a state of narrow-mindedness and just want to concentrate on a single film rather than letting the spectrum be opened up to discussion about good film in general.

plus, it's fucking AP, threads NEVER stay on point for more than 3 pages.

mine goes something like:

memento
clerks
boondock saints
the pianist
requiem for a dream
road to perdition
the big lebowski
rear window
bad santa

all because either the writing or visuals are top notch. or both

You know what movie I absolutely love? Kill Bill. Mannnnnnnnnn I love that movie. I know, you probably don't like it. Whatev.

[rosieh93]

itellecual discussions on donnie darko. and i said i know it wasnt going to happn.
please stop arguing with me. im not interested in arguing. and dont say "why your too scared cuz you no im gonna win the argument" cuz thats just immature and stupid. and i respect your ideas about the movies you like i never said i didnt so just keep on talkin cuz im interested in movies in general so just continue. thx

[TgE ARTdamage]

You know what movie I absolutely love? Kill Bill. Mannnnnnnnnn I love that movie. I know, you probably don't like it. Whatev.

Kill bill was enjoyable to watch, I'll admit when I saw vol. 1 and Vol. 2 in theaters, I enjoyed watching them. I do think he was still a little over the top with some parts of it, but I wont put that movie down as a bad movie.

all in all, I'd give the Kill Bill movies a high C to a low B rating.

[rosieh93]

You know what movie I absolutely love? Kill Bill. Mannnnnnnnnn I love that movie. I know, you probably don't like it. Whatev.

i actually havent seen it. is it a comedy or an action? i never bothered to find out

Kill bill 1's prolly my favorite movie I've seen. I haven't seen all that many though, and I def. wouldn't consider myself a movie buff. I've seen hardly any independent films, though I bet there's some great ones.

[concernedparent]

i actually havent seen it. is it a comedy or an action? i never bothered to find out
Action. Ironically, I hate battle scenes and fighting scenes in movies, they pretty much always bore the hell out of me. However, kill bill, which is loaded with fighting scenes is my favorite movie ever.

[fluke182]

Donnie Darko inspires more rage in the Entertainment forum than anything. It never ceases to amuse me.

Well, more rage than anything not related to next generation arguements. Those are brutal.

[TgE ARTdamage]

uh, i wasn't going to say anything of that nature - now you're jumping to conclusions as to where I'm trying to take my arguement with you to.

you tried to take a cheap shot at my taste in movies, so I came back with a list - and a very justified explanation as to how I rate movies in my book.

so if you're taking that as i'm trying to "win an arguement", you're gravely mistaken. however - if you'd like to keep talking about movies and how to pick good ones, what makes a good one, and so on, feel free.

You like mullholland drive?

[rosieh93]

i really like the ocean's 11 and 12.. im excited for 13.. i no they r not THAT great but i like that kind of thing in general, along with the italion job and the sting.

[TgE ARTdamage]

that's a solid set of movies. Bad Santa was great - I loved the comedy ni it.

The Pianist and Memento were both pretty solid movies, and I won REquiem For A Dream - but haven't had the chance to watch it yet. I jsut bought it, like, 3 days ago. I've been trying to find an uneddited version, because I want all the nitty gritty that comes with a movie.

and huge props for Lebowski man.

[concernedparent]

i really like the ocean's 11 and 12.. im excited for 13.. i no they r not THAT great but i like that kind of thing in general, along with the italion job and the sting.
I never saw 11, but I saw 12 and absolutely hated it. Granted, I had no idea what was going on, but I doubt I'd have liked it either way.

[TgE ARTdamage]

You like mullholland drive?

I always try to watch it when it's on TV, but because of all the commercials, i flip channels alot, so i've only seen it in bits and pieces.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?

Ocean's 11 and 12 are two of the best heist movies ever created. They've got excellent story lines, and the cast can't be beat.

[rosieh93]

i did not take a cheap shot i said even if you like disney channel origional movies i would respect that. meaning if you watched the crappiest movies in the world i would in no way hold that against you. you insulted my tase in movies, i said that i disagree and i would never do that to another person. im trying to make it better here, im not tryin to argue.

i really do like oceans 11 and 12.

[rosieh93]

if you like oceans 11 and 12, you should really check out the sting im suprised you said i had bad tastes, now even more suprised since you love these movies so much.

[rosieh93]

did anyone se crash of the titans?? that movie is so funny cuz of the awful acting and claymation. i watched it in latin class. and english.

[TgE ARTdamage]

dont get me wrong - Ocean's were good - but in no way contenders for my top 50.

I'm still working on hammering out the last 25 movies on my list, but it's slowly growing.

[rosieh93]

Action. Ironically, I hate battle scenes and fighting scenes in movies, they pretty much always bore the hell out of me. However, kill bill, which is loaded with fighting scenes is my favorite movie ever.

did you see kung fu hustle? that was actually really good. at least in MY opinion.

[rosieh93]

dont get me wrong - Ocean's were good - but in no way contenders for my top 50.

I'm still working on hammering out the last 25 movies on my list, but it's slowly growing.

but did you see the STING?!?! its with robert redford and paul newman. its a heist kind of movie. i think youd like it

[TgE ARTdamage]

yes, i've seen the sting, and no, i didn't like it.

[rosieh93]

wow. ive never met anyone who has seen oceans 11 or 12 who hasnt liked the sting.

[rosieh93]

im very suprised...

[TgE ARTdamage]

well i'm glad I could shock and amaze you.

i think you shcould invest some time, and look into some of the movies on my best films list - you may be suprised as to what you find in there.

[rosieh93]

i was actually planning on it. ive sen o bunch on there tho. this is the point where i am wishing i had netflix, haha

[rosieh93]

has anyone seen Borat
that was hilarious, although i like the ali-g characte bettter. hes makin the bruno movie next. im expecting that to be interesting.

[TgE ARTdamage]

haha, you should see my DVD collection - i've currently got i think it's around, 331 DVD's - and that's counting each box set i have as 1 movie.

hit up my website - divisionst.org - join the forums, and check out the movies forum. it's got some good content :)

[rosieh93]

im not i dvd collector but i am a movie addict. i am currently suffering withdrawl actually

[TgE ARTdamage]

my goal is to one day own over 1,000 DVD's.

[rosieh93]

my goal is to win the lottery and buy every movie that ever existed minus the scary ones that i dont like except a few and have a huge room that you cant enter into filled with movies i can choose from on a little computer and i can click a button and it will take the movie out from the room and put it in my tv. of couse with the other money from the lottery would be to make a house big enough to accomodate that. haha that would rock. and i would hav a huge movie screening room and my friends would come over and we cold watch a movie in like imax or somethin.

but of couse thats never gonna happen :( haha

[xjus10x]

i honestly don't understand the cult behind this movie. it has a decent plot, but does it really require a group of followers?

[rosieh93]

i honestly don't understand the cult behind this movie. it has a decent plot, but does it really require a group of followers?

you are a little late in the convo. haha but i understand your point, i dont think it needs a coult but its a very good movie.

[rosieh93]

i hve not yet met anyone in a donnie darko cult and i actualy dont plan to.

[TgE ARTdamage]

there's not really a cult.

it's just, it's developed a strong following that would resemble a cult.

[rosieh93]

i know. i was joking. it would be quite scary to meet someone with 28:06:42:12 tatooed on their arm, haha.

[rosieh93]

but anyway, why didnt you like it?

[wesgemm08]

have you guys seen the chumscrubber?

[katekate]

i have a question..
what does everyone think the ending means?
because i thought it meant sort of like the butterfly effect ending with him deciding to die but my friend told me i was wrong and it means something else (he wouldnt explain it to me).

[Smithers]

i have a question..
what does everyone think the ending means?
because i thought it meant sort of like the butterfly effect ending with him deciding to die but my friend told me i was wrong and it means something else (he wouldnt explain it to me).

The end is the reason i think it was a super hero movie. donnie used his power and saw all of these bad things happen to other people, in a way because of him: his girlfriend gets hit by a car, his teacher gets fired, frank gets shot, swayze goes to jail, which in turn puts his mother on the plane that loses the engine. so rather than have all those things happen, he "saves" them by sacrificing himself, which is what a superhero does for man.

[rosieh93]

i have a question..

because i thought it meant sort of like the butterfly effect ending with him deciding to die but my friend told me i was wrong and it means something else (he wouldnt explain it to me).

i agree with smithers, but just to add:
in the end he understands what is going to happen so thats why he shoots frank, he knows that without him this aweful thing wouldnt happen, even the plane crash that he didnt know (i think) about that had his mother and sister on it, frank wouldnt get killed, the lovehate guy wouldnt have his house burnt and his kiddie porn dungeon found (haha), his girlfriend wouldnt be killed, the school wouldnt get flooded, which would allow the teacher not to get fired, among many other minor things.

so in the end, it is 1. Either he believes it was a dream so he woke up laughing at how it seemed so real. or 2. he decided it was better for him to die, since he would save all the people, and basically himself too.

i agree with smithers that donnie was a superhero because of that especally of the part where gretchen commented on his name, saying that it sounds like a super hero, and donnie replies, who says im not or something like that.

it really is a super hero name, if you compare them to other super heroes. they have the alliteration name. peter parker, matt murdock, even clark kent, to a point. and peter petrelli haha. that's why i like to say i have a super hero name.

the only part i wasn't sure of is that in theory, his sister dies in the plane crash regardless because she's on the dance team.

[chokeychicken]

great, great movie

[Smithers]

great, great movie

thanks for the insightful post.

p.s. happy 21st. go get wasted.

[kshtoinks12]

on the heroes thread, some body thought his name was peter ferelli. haha

and about the dance tem.. well herr mom has to go on the plane cuz of the trial, so its kind of. if you think real deeply im sure theres a point where he caused it.

[rosieh93]

wait what? what why do u have a super hero name? is it like david delucia? or somethin like that? lmao

i love super heroes. batman rulez.

yeah thats what i thought it meant, that he chose to die sort of like ashton kutcher does on the butterfly effect. my friend thought it went deeper then that though.. eh.

[rosieh93]

i didnt see the butterfly effect how was it?

[rosieh93]

i didnt bother unlless someone tells me to watch movies like that cuz ashton kutchers pisses me off.

[motion sickness]

have you guys seen the chumscrubber?
i love that movie.

[motion sickness]

i didnt see the butterfly effect how was it?
never never see the follow up.butterfly effect II just sucks.
but the first one was classic,takes time to understand though.

[Alex Djaferis]

i love it.

[pinklipgloss]

Am I missing out on the directors cut? cause I only have the regular edition of it.

[katekate]

never never see the follow up.butterfly effect II just sucks.
but the first one was classic,takes time to understand though.
there's a follow up? whos in it?

[whiteboypain]

One of my fav movies ever, thus the avatar...

but anyway, did you or didnt you like the movie and why???
and if you get really into it, what do you think different people/things in the movie reprisent?

My favorite movie of all time. I think that this movie has different interpretations. I think the movie is about possibilities, and of course about time travel, and one facing their darkest hour. I always thought of this movie as a puzzle. lol. Yes, a puzzle. It's not clear to the end of what everything means. The first time i saw it...i was completely in awe at how incredible i thought this film was.

[Branevember31]

it took me 3 times to fully understand it, but it's one of my favorite movies

[rosieh93]

did anyone else like paycheck besides me? dont laugh at me im embarassed to say it cuz im the only person ive rn across whose like it. i thought it was cool.

[love2hateme]

I loved that movie. it made me think and it was just so messed up you had to like it

[AnF1500]

I've been in love with that movie for a while now, I watch it wayyy too often.

It had me at "fuckass."

[utossthatsalad]

i didnt get it, i just enjoyed the fat chinease girl saying chut up

[RIP_HunterS]

The Special Edition DVD is awesome, Kevin Smith is on the commentary track, and the second disc has a "biggest fan" contest witch is amazing

[arienette152]

what is everyone's thought? i personally love the movie but i have talked to many people who have different views on what happens in the movie? give me views??

[danielineffigy]

I loved it. It just bugs me when people think they're psychologists after watching it.

My take:

Frank set up the entire thing to save Gretchen, in order to make up for his accidental murder of her. He led Donnie from clue to clue in order to understand the meaning behind time travel so he could save her. In the end, he did so, and sacrificed himself to save Gretchen's and Frank's life, and ultimately his mother's and sister's from the plane crash. The jet that his family died in was the engine that killed Donnie, he just traveled back in time when the plane was in the wormhole that he opened with Frank's help so that his family was not on it during the crash, but on a plane 28:06:42:12 later.

[arienette152]

[SanePsychotic]

[reductiondesign]

I'm a fan, but this is a touchy subject on these boards.

[JunkBondTrader]

[Trainsaw]

[Adeniz19]

hahahaha it was due for another donnie darko thread

[clandestinerdc]

Good movie, just really overrated. I saw it because my friends were talking about how great it was. So I watched it and liked it but didn't really think it was that great.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

The best part of this movie is........................."Mad World" by Gary Jules

[ThexQuietxCull]

X-)

[Adrian Villagomez]

There were once a ton of Donnie Darko threads floating around. Now there is one.

Weird-cool movie. I'd like to watch it again.

[lew_1987]

[micahistheballs]

I love my director's cut. I need to watch it again.

[airik625]

Just watched this movie again last night. I'm afraid to watch the Director's Cut. I'm afraid I won't like it as much as the theatrical version.

[Adrian Villagomez]

Just watched this movie again last night. I'm afraid to watch the Director's Cut. I'm afraid I won't like it as much as the theatrical version.I hear it makes the movie easier to understand.

[airik625]

I hear it makes the movie easier to understand.

That would be nice. Everytime I watch the movie, I have to go to this website: http://www.stainlesssteelrat.net/ddfaq.htm to touch up on things that I don't understand or forget about. I would love to own the Director's Cut, but I already own the original version. Too bad the Director's cut doesn't contain both versions, that would be nice.

Maybe I will get it for my birthday.

I personally hated the directors cut. They changed the soundtrack and just added the deleted scenes.
Original is superior.

[airik625]

I've heard mixed reviews. It sucks that they changed the soundtrack because I love the soundtrack in the original. It just seems like anything different would make the movie something different.

pretty much, when they got rid of "the killing moon" in the opening bike scene I knew I wasn't gonna like it as much.

[airik625]

Haha, yeah. I love that song, it flows so perfectly with the scene. I don't even want to watch the Director's Cut now.

I recommend against it, unless you need the story spoon fed to you.

[WordzandDreamz]

Directors Cut = Epic Loss

[symbiote28]

I would say Fight Club is a great mindfuck movie. Maybe you've seen it?

[symbiote28]

i've seen that .. that too is just mindfucking brilliant!

[PDon11]

No where near as weird or confusing as people made it out to be.

Still a decent movie though.

[rachL v1]

Donnie Darko is by far one of the best movies ever created.
Along with Pulp Fiction and Boondock Saints.

Though, I did have nightmares about Frank for about a week.
(:

[airik625]

From now on I will never think of Donnie Darko having a sequel. I will just simply omit from my memory and just pretend I never heard there was going to be a sequel.

[katiedontcryx41]

watched this so many times over my winter break. WHY MUST DONNIE BE SUCH A PUNK ASS FUCKED UP MIRACLE? ;-)

[deadkidsean]

With all due respect to the woman who sued because Drive was too boring, we might have identified the most outrageous lawsuit in recent years. The complaint filed on Wednesday in Washington federal court targets a weird series of coincidences in the film Donnie Darko, plus the TV shows X-Files and Burn Notice. According to the plaintiff, a congruence of fact and fiction adds up to News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch and his Fox empire committing defamation and a privacy invasion against him.

Huh? Read on...

Michael Charles Bertsch presents the coincidences in list form.

For example, here are some things he realized while watching Donnie Darko:

"The family car in the movie was a sky blue Ford Taurus. My father has the exact same car with the exact same color."
"Donnie Darko's sister's name is Elizabeth. My sister's name is Elizabeth."
"In the movie a black 911 Porsche is parked in front of the Darko house. At the time I owned a black 911 Porsche."
"Donnie's girlfriend Gretchen is introduced as a new student in the movie. Gretchen is a German name and my fiance was living in Germany and resembles the woman in the movie"
"The main premise of the movie is about a plane engine that drops in Donnie Darko's room. I worked with a company that worked with the FAA in recovering parts and downed aircraft."

It's all good, mang! I know a lot of people like it. I personally think it's overrated :shrug:

Haha, I really hear you. It IS mentioned quite a lot and held on this high pedestal.
I just think a lot of people (including myself) have this weird connection to the movie.

[mka12992]

This has been my favorite movie for about 5 years now. I honestly don't see that changing.

[AvengedCorpse]

My friend's been trying to get me to watch this for years. I'm way too afraid of whatever that bunny thing is. :/
