Donnie Darko

I just went to the CD/game exchange store here and traded in a bunch of VHS tapes for a brand new copy of the Donnie Darko DVD.

What you think of this movie, if you've seen it?

I it, and you should too or I won't be your friend. Now I'm going to go watch the deleted scenes.

 

[~fairy_girl~]

Everytime I go to rent it, it's gone.

[Kariann]

I was wondering if it was any good. Was it released in the theatre? I dont seem to remember it being out around here.

Donnie Darko is fabulous - and hopefully time and word of mouth will elevate it to the popular pantheon where it should be.

 

[Giant Lemon]

I've never seen it, but I heard it's good. I should rent it sometime.

 

[Edgeman]

One Word.......awesome!

This is starting to happen.

In L. A. (So. Pasadena)

It is a midnight movie on Saturday nights.


Like Rocky Horror Picture Show was in the 80s.

The soundtrack is smokin' - mostly 80s

 

[Queen Bee]

This movie kicks ass! I saw it for the first time last year and was completely blown away. Remarkable film. I need to remember to buy it on DVD.

I was skeptical, but a friend insisted I watch the DVD with him and it was really fun.

 

[deep in HELL]

winning over a "skeptic" is high praise, indeed.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Donnie Darko? What the hell kind of name is that?

 

[bonosloveslave]

So is this like "Harvey" on acid?

 

[deep in HELL]

It is Donald's family name. There is a long line of Darkos.

you are aloud to sneak out of bed and watch.

 

[bau2fan]

I've seen it half-ways (towards the end) and will be sure to catch the full thing. Thanks deep

I heard what i think was Michael stipe singing a cover of a Tears For Fears song? the other day. "Mad World". Just beautiful it was.
I was going to hire that movie to find the answer to that q. Another rabbit movie? there is a rabbit in a Jerry Lewis movie I just love.
sounds intriguing, it's on the list.

I've hired High Fidelity and Cider House Rules to watch this week,asap, it takes a while to catch up



that's all folks

I thought it was the name of a superhero.

 

[HelloAngel]

Donnie Darko is fabulous.

I thought it was the name of a superhero.

What makes you think he's not?

 

[elevation2u]

i was about to defend this movie to its glory when i read the title... this is like one of my favorite movies of all times and unfortunately everyone i've asked has never watched it. everyone at my school is too busy 8 mile and that crap (no offense anyone).
i'm glad my teacher gave me this in class one day and told me i had to watch it and bring it back the next day. i had no clue what it was about even though i'm a big independent'indie film person.

and yeah the 80s music was great

i thought it was Stipe, too.

but, is is Gary Jules

 

[mad1]

Im too scared to watch this movie, like Im scared to watch Ted Bundy.


but I have been after seeing a video called Donnie Darko sitting on shelf next to video called Ted Bundy in video shop.......felt like the next movie would be called Death Bear...



Im waiting!

 

[deep]

mad,

bundy is a true and disgusting story.

darko is a fiction, a bit dark
but it has a Christ-like theme

"No greater love...."





death bear, no comment

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

One of my all time fave movies. Creepy as hell, but only the good ones are. Also, starts out on a great note with "The Killing Moon" by Echo & The Bunnymen playing in the background.
