My brain asploded.

Off-Topic cares not.

I kinda like it but its a strange acquired taste...

Yea, that was a strange one.

Horrid movie disguised as high art.

I wanted to love it so badly... it left me confused as to whether I liked it or not after I watched it.
The person I watched it with felt the same way.

The more we thought about it the more we realized it sucked.

It is said that Donnie Darko is so underrated that it's overrated.

My dad and I watched it together and we talked for hours trying to figure out what the hell it was about. I was highly entertained, and it made for great conversation. I watched it when I was pretty young... I'm guessing around 12 or 13. I haven't watched it with a more adult mind, so I have no idea if it's actually a good movie. However, I remember it fondly.

Also, Fred horrified me. I had trouble sleeping because of him.

It's a great movie if you understand the ending.

You are what's wrong with the human race.

Where's the finish line?

It's right after the part where I stop caring enough to answer the question.


But no, people who think Donnie Darko is good because they "get it" and other people just "don't get it" are what's wrong with humanity, 100%.

Donnie Darko has an absolutely abysmal narrative with a piss-terrible story.

You can watch it uncut or cut.

• If you are watching the Director's Cut, it splices in SOME information about wtf is going on. But it also adds 30 minutes of nothing.
• If you are NOT watching the Director's Cut, you just saved yourself 30 minutes of watching Donnie Darko d1ck around doing nothing, but you missed out on 50 seconds of -very- important exposition.

Basically, you're screwed either way. The movie sucks.
I wanted to love it, I tried to convince myself so hard that it was a good movie, but in the end, amateur acting, lots of contrived "twists", just horrible script, cheap special effects... ugh, why does it get praised? I'll never understand.
