IRC Brings to you this killer conversation!

[01:07] <Wookie> pat, u ever seen donnie darko?
[01:08] <pat> yes
[01:08] <pat> Its overrated
[01:08] <Wookie> dude, its mind blowing
[01:08] <pat> Its overrated
[01:08] <pat> if you take a second to think about it
[01:08] <pat> none of it makes sense
[01:09] <pat> its just a glorified stupid story
[01:09] <Wookie> dude, thats the point
[01:09] <pat> uh..
[01:10] <pat> that it doesnt make sense?
[01:10] <Wookie> yeah
[01:11] <pat> Thats the worst reason ever for it to be a good movie


Thats all the conversation was... But seriously. Am I the ONLY person who didnt think Donnie Darko was the best movie ever?

I enjoyed it as just a movie to watch, but watching it more than once you realize how silly the movie is.

If you like it, fine whatever. But does it really deserve all the praise it gets?

It totally messed up the physics of time travel.

I liked it, but think "mind blowing" is going a little too far...
2007-03-22, 12:10 AM #4
I loved it.

I loved it for it's style and because the humour is quite offbeat in places, and also because the writers made it intentionally nonsensical so that people would make stuff up about it.

But it's not mind blowing.

Really good, but not revolutionary or mindblowing. Got you thinking, but more about people than anything.

It's overrated. I hate the people who think it's the most amazing revolutionary movie ever created. I can't watch the movie without thinking of those people, so I hate them for that, too.

Instead of worrying about the physics of time travel, I always just think of it as a reverse It's A Wonderful Life. Maybe spoiler tags are unnecessary but... Instead of an angel showing a man why he should live, it's about an angel showing him why he must die.

TBH, I thought it wasn't all that good. The giant killer bunny thing (LOL, WUT?) was kind cool, though.

I thought it was neat, nothing that could convince me to wear a huge bunny suit, but something that was more worth watching than some mindless trash movie.

I enjoyed it a lot, but yeah, way too many people worship it for the wrong reasons.

I liked it. First saw it at 4 AM on HBO, when I was dead-tired. That definitely made for an interesting viewing experience.

But, yes, not god-like or ludicrous.

Maybe it was m-m-m-m-m-monstrous?

Someone needs to make a pic of that bunny thing and a label that says "Donnie's imaginary friend watches you poop" or something. It somehow seems needed here.
