1 Donnie Darko a boring movie??? This is a your comment Robert? well, ok, anyone can freely speak of course but define this movie "boring" means that the peoples didn't had really understand at all the "meaning" of the movie. I bought the director's cut and there are some scenes that help the watcher to understand a bit more the movie. also to understand completely Donnie Darko, is better to read some books about quantum physics.. THEN you can comment this movie..

2 No it wasn't my comment.  It was a comment I found at Ace of Spades. 

I actually like the movie.  But found the comments made to be rather funny.  There are some films that take themselves seriously because the topics are serious (Schindlers List would be a good example).  But, Donnie Darko would not be a good example, IMHO.  That does not mean its any less thought provoking or enjoyable.

Have you seen the movie What Dreams my come?  Another very philosophical movie.  One of my favorites as well.

The problem is when Hollywood tries to take itself too seriously.  That is what the thread was about at Ace's.  Hence my next blog post about the Writers Guild now on strike!

3 "what dreams may come" with Robin Williams, I'm correct? (I remember only italian title hehehehe ) yeah! one of my favorite too. an amazing scenography, acting, nice plot and a great ending.
there are a lot of "cult" movies that very few peoples knows.. i.e. The Matrix is a great movie but there are also some others film like this.... anyone have watched "Dark City" ('9 or "The Thirteenth Floor" ('99) ?

4 Yeah thats the right movie.  The Cinematography is just amazing in that movie.  And the philosophical subject matter is just amazing - yeah I am a geek I know.

You know the first time I saw the Matrix - I disliked it.  it took about 3-4 more viewings (at work LOL) that I finally warmed up to it..but the first one was the best.  They ruined it with the sequels!

5 I enjoyed Matrix 2, there was some interesting things about Neo, like when he meets The Architect and he reveals to him that in the past there was some others Neo and others Zion. and the ride with the motorcycle... omg... that ride was awesome (btw I DON'T RIDE LIKE Trinity hehehe LOL )
instead the Matrix 3 was IMHO totally bland, with those big armored robot.... mmm they ruined everything..
oh, about Monica Bellucci: I really hope that in english she's has been dubbed... her real voice is horrible LOL (like the voice of Asia Argento!)

I never heard of  Donnie Darko until I saw Litals video clip. I thought the movie was thought provoking and entertaining. Makes me think what if time travel were possible? Boring and pretentious? Not in my opinion, one thing I did get out of it , there's good and bad , light and dark, pureness coruption, Fear and love and something that fills every crevice in between called Mankind. I also thought about the idea of destiny versus free will. is there a predestined path for your life? what if you choose to diverge? if i start to think too deep should i reach for a beer?

 

7 Theoretically time travel is possible.  The problem is the practicality of doing it and making it feasible.  This was one of the topics in my math for liberal arts class (the only math class I ever took where the assignments were more philosophical related than math related).  As for predestination - if you believe in a higher being - to some degree you do believe in predestination.  Though it is a very sliding scale.   Beer?  Nah I got two bottles of wine right here!
