sometimes i doubt your committment to sparkle motion!

Just went to see Donnie Darko: The Director’s Cut. I have mixed feelings about it. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time, but I think that perhaps the things that Richard Kelly added back in kind of overexplain things. Maybe. Part of what I love about the movie is that it leads to a lot of discussion about the symbolism, why certain things happened in the film, and discussions about metaphysics and time travel.

Oh man. I just found out that Richard Kelly is younger than me. Jeez. Why does that always make me feel like a complete slacker? What had *I* accomplished when I was 26? I certainly didn’t have my own feature film that would become a cult hit!

Maybe I’ll be Frank for Halloween.
