I never really liked the first one all that much, myself.

I watched half of this online and shut it off. It was awful. I dunno even know why I bothered.. stupid curiosity or just to say I've seen it -- I think the original is terrible.

Either way:

I think the first one was so boring, could not even watch it.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!! omfg!!!!!!

Donnie darko is a fine movie though.

But I can't describe how shitty this is!

atsonicpark 06.10.2009 04:29 PM

I didn't find it boring, just laughable. The acting was so revolting, the story was a joke, I always love how people tell me it's a deep movie.. it's mainly loved by people who want to see something "surreal" but who don't want to bother with a truely surreal film. It's a very simple, boneheaded movie. I knew a dude who told me he read all these time traveling books and shit and it helped him "get" the movie better. There's nothing to get, though! It's just a simple drama with some wanna-be-surreal bullshit thrown in. Also, Donnie himself is an AWFUL character, completely unlikeable in every way a character can be unlikeable, and the whole thing is a chore to sit through.

That scene at the end, with Mad World playing (er.. it still is Mad World, right? I know they had to change some of the music from the original version, for some reason) with all the characters crying is AWFUL. One of the worst scenes ever filmed, with The Devil's Rejects ending with "Freebird" being another one that sticks out in my mind as laughably bad.

Anyway, what I saw of S. Darko was your typical cheapo cash-in. Overly complicated and silly with worse acting, somehow. Also, no James Duvall as Frank? Fuck that. But yeah, really, the film actually stylistically is pretty consistent with the Donnie Darko tone... the music, the effects, the look of the film. It just.. you know.. is terrible.

its on my shaw on demand but no way i am spending $4.99 on that.

it says a lot that the only member from the original cast they could convince to to the sequel is the kid that played the sister, she had like 4 lines in the whole of the 1st film.

atsonicpark 06.10.2009 04:35 PM

she is pretty cute though...

 

Hah!

noisereductions 06.10.2009 05:21 PM

I'm curious to see it. I love the first one. I don't give a shit.

atsonicpark 06.10.2009 05:25 PM

EVOLghost 06.10.2009 05:27 PM

The first one is alright. This howevere looks stupid to me.

atsonicpark 06.10.2009 05:28 PM

In all seriousness, who had the bright idea to call it s. darko? I mean, that's just too easy. "S? As in SHIT?" Just... too fucking easy. Sigh.

EVOLghost 06.10.2009 05:32 PM

^^ |LOL I was thinking something along the same lines...like Shitty Darko or sometrhin'.

This looks terrible. Why the fuck was it even made?


All I ever heard about Donnie Darko is that it was "amazazazaing!" would be really hard to understand, and I wouldn't truly understand Darko unless I watched it ten gazillion times... but I got it. There wasn't too much to get, y'know? I dug it, though.

also, when did daveigh chase get sorta cute? she used to be so, like, lumpy and awkward looking. with jankity teeth.

It's a predestination paradox, a cliché in fiction.
