Donnie Darko
After much hype from my colleagues and friends, I finally watched Donnie Darko. I can say that I liked the literary twist of including Graham Greene's short story, but . . .
I was significantly underwhelmed. Sorry, A-train, but the movie wasn't really twisted or scary or anything. Plus, it included Drew Barrymore--perhaps the worst actress in Hollywood. Regardless of the seriousness of her lines (pick a movie, any movie), she always looks like she's about to fucking laugh. Not a good actress. Not at all, my friends.
I didn't hate it. But I would argue that its greatness was significantly over-rated. I'm thinking it must have been the scene of him sticking his hand in his pants that made this flick so pleasing to some viewers--but not me.
By the way, I pulled down yesterday's post. It was just a little too mean. I guess I shouldn't write these blog posts while I'm bored in class. As much as I like to poke fun at others, I rarely try to be genuinely mean. My apologies.
****
On second thought, seeing as how other blogs (Silent Vengeance) are using mine as a reference point, I'll leave it up briefly. You guys are cruel.

Hmmphf. I think there's a lot you're not chewing on in the movie...many layers. We can talk about it later. Or not. Whatever floats your boat.
And I must admit, it would've been better if he'd been in a Santa hat in the desert (mostly naked).
As for the Spiderman post, don't try to act like you didn't think it was funny.
And I think you're the one who started all this "meanness" toward him anyway.
Like I posted on yours, I realize it's funny and I realize I started this shit. But I kinda feel bad about kicking Spidey in the crotch when I really have no good reason to, besides the fact that he gets on my fucking nerves.
J- Two things:
First, I think you need to sit down and watch that movie again. I don't say movies are really great that often and I think this is one of the better movies of the last 20 or years. I had to watch it twice to get a lot of things I missed the first time
Secondly, getting on your nerves and plagiarizing other's ideas are two VERY good reasons for a down home kick to the crotch.
