So I'm a little behind on the times. I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time yesterday and it pretty much blew my mind. I love the kinds of movies that make you stand up and go "what the fuck?!" after watching them...and then of course thinking I'm going to see Frank standing around somewhere in all his menacing, bunny-rabbit creepiness. Shoot. The director's cut definitely de-mystifies a lot of the film, but even then considering the time travel paradox and the theological element is really something to try and wrap your mind around. I think it takes a philosophy junkie like me to appreciate this stuff

Basically, if you have not seen this movie, do so immediately.

So I've reached the point where I'm not leaning so much on mom and dad anymore. Like I said, I'm behind on the times. But it's progress, and the best part is that it's exciting! Progress is exciting! So hopefully I will find some newfound motivation in all of this progress, because I definitely need to get my ass in gear and accomplish some of the things I should've done a very long time ago.

In other news, I got an email from the UW newspaper, The Daily, saying I should apply and whatnot. I've shifted away from journalism in the past 2 months (at least I'm changing my mind before school starts), but hey if they're going to hand me an application I'm not going to turn down the offer. There's a 10 week crash course in journalism and even then that's not a guarantee of employment...but I think it's worth the shot.

My 3 new favorite things
  • Donnie Darko

  • The Daily Show

  • Scooby Doo


Muffy over and out!

Do not try to bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, try to realize the truth. There is no spoon. Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Mm, I've never seen Donnie Darko. Don't really think it's a big deal, either. :P

I see you understand perfectly, laughing.
I'll read this better when I come to your blog and you haven't updated in a few weeks.

I've never seen DD either, everyone gasps when I say I haven't.

As far as Donald/Ronald, in Japan he is called Donald for lack of a proper "Ro" sort of sound. or something.

I have never seen Donnie Darko before.

Yes, they call me "mother" at times to irritate me.
They will minus your pay because you need to be trained too.

i have always wanted to watch donnie darko and it's not funny that the local cable tv could repeat other movies almost everyday but never play this movie not even once.
» renaye on 2008-09-07 02:09:06

love this movie... i need to get the directors cut so i can understand it all better... the thing about time travel and mortality it all ties together somehow... and i'm trying to figure it out without reading about it online.

I only just saw Donnie Darko myself a couple months ago. I watched the director's cut 'cause a guy I work with said that it wouldn't make sense unless I watched the director's cut. Now I kind of want to know what the theatrical version was like. Was it confusing? I kind of want to challenge myself with watching it to see if I'd get it or not. ha


The old Scooby-Doo's are the best.

I've never seen it, either!
D:

I just saw the first Riddick movie this weekend, too.

Yeah, pitch black was interesting...
It wasn't about drunk driving just for that reason; everyone knows it's wrong. Texting is much more accepted in society, though it is becoming illegal to be on an electronic device while driving in some states (I think Maryland is about to do it, too!)

Re:
It was really funny just that it is irritating when it happens so often.

Good luck with your assignment Muffy!
» Nuttz on 2008-09-09 08:26:09

It used to be like... watching a movie. Being in a movie. Everything is happening but none of it is real... that's the best way I can explain it...
» randomjunk on 2008-09-09 05:39:44
