Donnie Darko
Donnie Darko is a mystery film. It packs so much mythos, the creator had to write a book to explain everything.
Just The Facts
- Donnie Darko marked the only big achievement in Jake Gyllenhaal's otherwise mundane career.
- Youngest Sister Samantha Darko manages to fuck up every dance routine in Rocky-horrific ways.
- Darko creator Richard Kelly has released a Director's Cut, which wisely edits out most of Drew Barrymore's acting.
Donnie Darko? Awesome film or complete waste of time?

Who wrote this crap? I don't see a name. Don't really matter. The author obviously has no taste OR he's just incredibly jealous of either Jake or Richard.
ReplyStop trashin' out of jealousy, man. Get a life and see if you can't buy some taste while you're at it.
Jake Gyllenhaal's career has been anything but mundane. He got an oscar nomination for Brokeback Mountain and won a Bafta. He also deserved an oscar nomination for Zodiac (a film snubbed by the academy) and has received critical acclaim for his performance in Source code.
ReplyWhat about Brokeback Mountain (to that of Jake Gyllenhaal's "mundane career")? this post is just bullsh*t
ReplyThat is such a complete load of bullshit! Donnie Darko was amazing! so what if Jake Gyllenhaal's career over all has been "mundane" that's not even the focus. Donnie Darko is one of my favorite films of all time! it is brilliant! Richard Kelly did not rip off all of the twilight zone episodes to create the plot of Donnie Darko! this movie is one of the most creative and original of it's decade! Most critics probably agreed that is such a load of horse shit! Okay yes I agree S. Darko sucked ass! The acting was s****y and the filmmakers responsible for that piece of crap should most likely just stop making movies before they massacre another masterpiece! And by the way Drew Barrymore is a good actress! so maybe this was not her best performance, who cares? Donnie Darko overall was amazing! The assholes who wrote this article have no right to judge Barrymores acting job! You people are looking at 3 % percent of this movie when you b***h about Barrymore's performance instead of 97 % of it. Richard Kelly has created a brilliant movie, an engaging weird but interesting and amazing movie! oh yeah by the way you stupid morons, the director's cut was released because half of Donnie Darko was cut by the studios against Richard Kelly's will! Not to hide Drew Barrymore's performance! Also Frank the six-foot tall bunny rabbit did not rip off "Harvey" there's a very distinct difference between the two characters. THIS PAGE IS A LOAD OF CRAP!!!

Firstly, yeahthisisjenny, 1080928473295744378604386745% ? dont be a retard
Secondly, the article exlpicitly says that it is an 'awsome film'
The amount of exclamation points frighten me! I recall reading something about an internet rule regarding correlation between exclamation points and the relevance of one's post! Maybe it's just me but then in my head I'm reading everything with an urgent voice! All of a sudden it sounds like there's an auctioneer in my head!
Really though, I agree! Also, I don't think JG has had all that mundane a career! I'm not sure why one would think the movie was anywhere near bad enough to make a page like this about it! I don't know this director's other movies, but if Donnie Darko was any indication then whoever wrote this is way off base! Exclamation point!
(I'm jk about the exclamation points btw, before anyone gets all offended, like they often do online. I just thought it would be amusing to write something that way.)
Is it weird if i understood it the first time i watched it?.... I think it is an amazing movie.. i cant stop drawing the Frank mask =)
ReplyIt's not weird, it's bullshit. You need to complete the website to actually know wtf is happening.
if you understood it the first time you watched it, could you explain it to me? because i've watched it about 54327654 times and there are three possible explanations that i can't configure to.
Donnie Darko is a piece of modern art. It`s my favourite film of all time.
ReplyS. Darko is SHIT. I only watced it because it has Jackson Rathbone in.
Loved that movie, but I did have to watch it a few times to understand it.
ReplyThis page is pretty good, it jut needs to be touched up.
pretty good
ReplyNot funny. Why don't you just head on to MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD JOKES?. Funny pictures, animations, and plain jokes. We put the D in distasteful!
