Movie comes out in a week.  I cant tell from the previews if it looks like a winner or a stinker.  Anybody read any decent reviews of this yet?

either way I can't wait to see it.  It's based on a book called "welcome to the suck" a very common Marine phrase.

The book was basically the ramblings of a person who is unhappy with life, critical of everything.  Mostly that stems from a bad childhood, one of the joys of which was going with his Mother to visit his brother in jail.

I doubt the movie will be all that good, and being written from this guys view of life, probably depressing.

I will wait for some reviews to decide whether to see it.

Jake Gyllenhaal


I remember some publicist saying that after he fell down and knocked out a tooth, and he was all tough and all and shook off the pain and finished the scene, that "...it was like he became a man during the filiming..." As if he went through real combat or something.

"Yeah, the lattes were cold, my assistants were barred from the set and we slept in a chilly tent... You da man, Jake!

I bet he could still enlist in the real Marines if it got him that worked up. Jake... Jake... where ya at bud!

Donnie Darko becomes a lot more average when you realize that the entire plot is stolen from another short movie.

I don't put much stock into were somone got their ideas from if I've never heard/seen them.  Either way I would have never seen Donnie Darko had I not been wrestling with a bout of insomnia one night.  A movie isdecent to good if it makes you stay up till 3AM to watch it.

You gotta admit though bubble boy was oscar material.  ;)

and to be honest the kid didn't do that bad a job in Day after tommorow.

having only seen the commercials I have to give fore warning.  I have litterally known Marines that talk just like he does in that one clip.  We called them "moto" or "Ate up".

Question I have is.
Is it too soon for such a movie to come out?
What with the troops still over there and all.
Be kinda like if they made a movie on 9/11 now

** MAJOR MAJOR DONNIE DARKO SPOILER **.

























The movie Donnie Darko is directly stolen from the movie "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge."
