Donnie Darko

For anyone who likes movies with a little twist, that little something extra, go read/watch this as you see fit.

Very well done.

other 'interesting' books:
The African Safari Papers
American Gods

^same author, forget who.

Anyone know any other books/work following this train of thought?

Didn't realise it was a book, but was a good movie for sure.

Book is probably better though (which is always the case)

Donnie Darko isn't a book. although they do have this weird thing now where you can read the script and the director has written some explanations and comments.

Hey Max did you know that 'Safari Papers' is written by a Canadian? Yeah, i own and have read that book as well, but I haven't read his new one. Oh, and the author's name is Robert Sedlack.

You would like reading Chuck Palahniuk I think. He wrote the book the movie Fight Club was based on. He's also written: Survivor, Invisible Monsters, Choke, Lullaby and Diary. I have them all if you wanna borrow one.

Oh yeah, read Bret Easton Ellis too, he's fuckin' amazing. but has yet to come out with something new for awhile. maybe he's dead. god, i hope not.

It's not a book.

There is the book, The Philosophy of Time Travel, that they have in the movie. It helps explain a lot of what's going on.

This movie gives you a couple billion things to ponder.

I've read a few books by Douglas Coupland, he's from Vancouver, and he is an amazing author kinda on the same level. Some of his books are Generation-X (which is VERY popular), Life after God, Girlfriend in a Coma, and Miss Wyoming.

I just finished reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, it was really... um... different. He draws alot of pictures to go with his book too. Very funny.

^^If you're talking about the Donnie Darko book I saw...i saw it on display on the third floor of Virgin Records on Robson and..um..I forget the cross street. I'm sure you know where it is though. Yeah, they have a book section upstairs and I saw it propped up. It was pretty cool. Had the entire script in it, directors notes, pictures, and clippings from that Time Travel book.

the sick thing is when I watched the movie, I was not doing much better in my own head. Mind you I did not see big grumpy bunny rabits telling me to kill my self.

So suck a fuck!

It ain't fubar'd. It repairs itself at the end. Perhaps snafu'd but not fubar'd.
