So I watched #DonnieDarko for the second time since it was first released, and it was an enjoyable #movie

I was unimpressed that first time around. I'm not sure why. I hardly remembered anything that happened in the movie. I even forgot Patrick Swayze was in it. I remembered him being in a movie where he turns out to be a pedo, but I totally forgot this was the movie.

I think first time maybe I didn't like the way the film does weird - I probably thought the scary rabbit was trying too hard - or maybe it wasn't weird enough for me, or too psuedo-deep and meaningful.

But generally, it's a good movie.

I imagine I found the ending a bit lacklustre, as I did this time. They reference Deus Ex Machina and I think by that they just mean: make up any old shit and try to make some kind of fulfilling ending.

But I'm not sure it does have a fulfilling ending. It's one of them you have to watch a few times and think about to see if certain things have a point to them.

A film that manages to be both mysterious & completely satisfying.

My second watch several years later after Southland Tales and The Gift completely changed my mind about it; I thought it was a pretentious mess and a hollow exercise in aping style over providing substance. Some 14 years later, I've given it my third watch and I feel comfortable saying that it's actually somewhere between those two extremes: a well-executed movie that is fully style over substance, but that's not necessarily
