Well that's my question pre-empted.

Guessed as much.

How the hell can you so a sequel to Donnie Darko?

The ending couldn't be more final.

It was definitly the end of something but your milleage may vary on just what.

It was about his sister. Richard Kelly had nothing to do with S. Darko, and since he was the creator, writer, and director of the first it wasn't surprising that it was bad. I just thought it might be funny bad. It wasn't. It was bad bad.

I watched the Donnie Darko sequal. I found it to be a total mind - crush, i had no fucking idea what was going on...

As I said, everything that Donnie Darko did wrong. Nothing that it did right.

Hazel-Rah · #**1567** 08-04-2009, 12:34 PM

I didn't understand the first Donnie Darko, he had to die so that the universe could continue to exist, is it like some kind of butterfly effect?

My fav part of that movie, the Watership Down reference, oh and Frank =P

Wings of Fire · #**1568** 08-04-2009, 12:52 PM

There is no conclusive explanation to Donnie Darko, it means different shit to different people.

***Nate*** · #**1569** 08-04-2009, 07:51 PM

Apparently the Director's Cut explains everything.

And because of that, it's widely regarded as being shite.

Anonyman! · #**1570** 08-05-2009, 12:12 AM

IT WAS TIME TRAVEL

IT DOESNT NEED TO BE EXPLAINED

REALITY BROKE
DONNIE DIED IN THE PAST
SAVING A LOT OF PEOPLE

now whatever meaning that has to you...

Wings of Fire · #**1571** 08-05-2009, 12:23 AM

It doesn't explain everything by a long shot. It does explain more....but not nearly everything. Also, it is definitely less good.

Transformers 2 is an epic movie! I can't understand why anyone would say it sucked :S.

Mac Sirloin · #**1574** 08-07-2009, 01:18 PM

It was Two and a half hours long.
It started out with a stupid action sequence. (Not the Shanghai one, the one with the Appliances).
Almost all of the good parts were ruined by the human characters. I don't give a flying fuck about Sam's roommate. The fact that his girlfriend threw a hissy fit over him not being there for a webcam conversation was thoroughly retarded, and the only entertaining one was ONE MAN, BETRAYED BY THE COUNTRY HE LOVES simply for being so ridiculous. Skids and Mudflap were racist in a really fucking lame way; they were written to be white people pretending to be black...but were still offensive. They weren't even funny, they were assholes. When Optimus Died they made fucktarded jokes and looked out of place. Devastator was on screen for like two minutes, during which they made a dick joke about him, which didn't actually make sense since neither of the Cranes he's partly composite of didn't have Wrecking Balls, then they killed him. Starscream was possibly the best part just for his voice and general characterization. Soundwave sucked which REALLY pissed me off. Bumblebee inexplicably couldn't talk again. Oh his voicebox broke again." Bull fucking shit it did. You writers deserve something broken: Your...bodies. Yeah.

Fuck ROTF. Micheal Bay is a hack who should have had nothing to do with it from the start.

Havoc · #**1575** 08-07-2009, 01:51 PM

Oh yea, Bumblebee could talk again at the end of the other movie, didn't he? I forgot about that. Sloppy sloppy on the writers part indeed.

Still in terms of action and humor the movie did very good for me. I liked the witty humor.

I guess you don't like it as much because you actually know the original Transformer comics and stuff. You have a better feel for the characters and tend to see things that are out of place from the original story. I don't know the original story though, so I just enjoyed the movie for what it was

OANST · #**1576** 08-07-2009, 01:55 PM

You do realize that you're a hillbilly, don't you? A rancid, easily pleased by 'splosions, thinks dick jokes are funny hillbilly. That's who you are.

He also hates foreigners and loves his firearms.

OANST · #**1578** 08-07-2009, 03:09 PM

He might as well just start flying a confederate flag. I mean, at this point why hold back?

I enjoyed the movie for what it was at first too. Read the thread and you'll see me rabidly defending it.

After I had some time to think about it, though, I realized it was fucking awful. The action was incomprehensible and I don't care how good the CG was. They got REALLY fucking lazy with the platoon of Decepticons at the very end. they all looked like skinnier Megatron's or just the same fucking character model.

I'm not familiar with the Comics or G1. I grew up with Beast Wars, which wasn't exactly TFG1 MK2. The movie was bad even by "lol action movie" standards.

I don't care if she's hot, or if Bay simply directed her to be a stupid fuck, either. Megan Fox was fucking terrible and felt really out of place. Enjoying the movie for what it was is enjoying a half-assed attempt at pleasing two widely different audiences-On the one hand, you have a legion of Manchildren Jizzing in their pants whenever Peter Cullen opens his mouth, and a swarm of idiotic douchebags who went to see Megan Fox because of the weird upskirt shot from the trailer.

It wasn't 'so bad it's good.' It was just fucking awful.

Oh, and witty humor? Fucking where? One robot calling the other one a pussy? It wasn't witty. It was insipid garbage.

Daxter King · #**1580** 08-07-2009, 03:28 PM

Im glad you have seen the error of your ways Kastere.

Also, fuck yeah for growing up on Beast Wars.

I loved that shit.

Beast Machines anyone?

Strike Witch · #**1582** 08-07-2009, 05:34 PM

Beast Machines can fuck off to hell for messing with my Cybertron.

Also the Marvel Comics were ridiculously bad.

Large swathes of cast killed off in one blow to introduce new members, then randomly rebuilt like nothing happened, shittons of colouring errors, random-arse generic robots and some really poor dialogue, furmanisms aside.

So really it's quite close to this movie.

Best thing to ever come out of this franchise.

Eh, it was just really hammy with all the spiritual bullshit they pulled out of nowhere, then they took the best character (Jetstorm) and turned him into an emo turkey.

Then they TURNED THE PLANET INTO A JUNGLE.

What utter shit.

Sorry to double-post, but this is the wrong wiki.

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page

This is the correct one. That one you posted was abandoned due to Wikia's ridiculous advertising and shit and overrun by tools and idiots.

the new Wiki is much better and the fandom supports it.

Beast Machines sucked, Beast Wars was good though.

I watched Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds last night.

Was pretty good, but I felt kinda cheated that they never said WHY the birds were being pricks.

I did get a laugh out of the one guy they hit who dropped a petrol pipe that dribbled down the road under a care of a guy smoking a cigar.

Haha.
