I enjoyed the movie a lot more before I heard the director's commentary. I think the meaning he was trying to convey is not the meaning most people take away from the film - and that includes those who enjoyed it.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I liked the movie pretty well, but avoided the director's cut & commentary like poison.

Hey. New board.
I love it. Even though I agree that it's not as clever as it thinks it is.

Always Anti-fascist!
Isn't that what the arbiter of art would always do, Corwood?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
But it had a menacing giant bunny. What's not to love?
Someday I will watch Donnie Darko, and that viewing will probably be motivated entirely by the need to see the giant menacing bunny.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Add me to the list of people who preferred the original theatrical release.

Watchmen set video at Superhero Hype. I'm starting to feel like maybe the picture is in good hands after all.

I thoroughly enjoyed Donnie Darko. Dark, weird, and Mary McDonnell! Southland Tales was a mess, but it was an interesting-to-watch mess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Speaking of incoherent, we just watched "The Science of Sleep."
What the hell?
