Loved Rocky Horror, liked Elizabeth and The Fountain, Brokeback and Darko were okay.
Pulp Fiction was pretty good, used to love TPB as a kid, Shawshank is again, really a very good movie.
Kinda hated Blue Velvet and did not like Lost in Translation. Hated My Fair Lady as a kid.
So patience... is nothing...
Man, you guys are into really intense movies!!

Donnie Darko was the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen. Even though it wasn't that long, it's three hours of my life I'll never get back, because I spent the next 3 quarters of an hour sitting on the couch in disbelief that someone would waste so much money getting such a big pile of shit made.
I FUCKING HATE movies that are made weird for the sake of being weird. It comes of as pretentious... and it (obviously) pisses me off.
Everyone tells me that I clearly just didn't "get" what the movie was trying to do. I understand the idea, I dislike the way it was done.
"HATED IT!"
Never burn your bridges while you're standing on them...
lol Ian. I like weird movies, but I too dislike movies that seem weird for the sake of being weird. Part of the Donnie Darko thing for me was that I couldn't figure out *just* what they were trying to say, although I was sure there were some important messages in there, somewhere.
But I totally feel what you are saying, even if I didn't hate Donnie Darko as much as you. There are so many pretentious movies, for sure.
So patience... is nothing...
Not sure why I get so worked up about this movie. It just gets me... well...
pissy.

I never saw Donnie Darko, but those were my thoughts about Primer. It was complicated just for the same of being complicated.
I just don't end up where think I'm going when I start out.
Ian, I get that way about David Lynch movies.
So patience... is nothing...
I love Donnie Darko. I just do. I get that there are some elements that are just 'off' for the sake of it, but it's still an awesome movie.
I'm not saying I want something as deep as, well, pick ANY recent Wayan's brothers movie, but I just can't get into movies that want to head fuck you for the sake of head fucking you.

Mistress, are you anti-David Lynch movies also? Finding intelligent people who feel that way seems a rarity!
So patience... is nothing...
I. hate. David. Lynch.
That's right, I said it.
"Twin Peaks" was o.k. But "Blue Velvet"? I've never looked at scissors the same way again.
The worst though, the WORST was "Eraserhead." I have never needed a movie to end, I mean PHYSICALLY NEEDED a movie to end like I needed that movie to end. After hours of crying cow fetuses and chipmunk women in radiators dancing on sperm, when they were doing the ending sequence of atomic bombs blowing up I was actually asking my friends: "Is it over yet? Are we there yet? This has got to be the ending, right? I mean this can't keep going...dude...is this the ending? is it over yet?" for FIFTEEN MORE MINUTES. Worst. Movie. Ever.

I don't know who the fuck David Lynch is, but thanks for the heads up. Fuck that mess.
Still love my stupid Donnie Darko
Yeah, I can't waste any more hours of my life on David Lynch movies.
So patience... is nothing...
I've only seen the Dune movie he made in 1984 (terrible) and Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks was great right up until
****SPOILER ALERT****
We find out who killed Laura.
After that it got boring.
I just don't end up where think I'm going when I start out.
ZOMG - ZOMG!!!!!!!! He did DUNE?!?! Oh no WONDER I hate that fucking movie!!!! My hubby loves it, so I am sometiems subjected to it, but ugh. On the other hand, it's prolly the best thing Lynch has ever done...
I was ready to forgive even the fact that Twin Peaks went on and on and got weirder and weirder after we found out who killed Laura, but that movie? Trash. Just total, gratuitous trash. "My high school sandwich. Let's put some meat inside?" barf.
