Donnie Darko Director's Cut

Rocked my socks clean off. *wiggles her bare toes at you*

Seriously. Day-umn. I am pleased.

I cried.

They fixed the stupid bit where Donnie's "spear" turned around and beckoned him with a finger. I never liked that; it's not in the nature of what they are. They included the bit where Dr. Thurmon tells Donnie that he's on placebos, and gives him the definition of agnostic. They added this GREAT extra bit in the Attitudinal Beliefs video where everyone is hugging, and Jim Cunningham hugs the little boy and gives him a little smack on the ass. Everyone in the theater who had seen the movie did a, "WTFOMG!" at that one.

I think I scared some audience members by dancing along with Sparkle Motion in my seat. I made sure not to obstruct anyone's view...

The most interesting change is short scenes of The Philosophy of Time Travel - the text from the book shown by itself or overlaid on other shots - taking out some of the "mystery" of the movie but also providing a firmer ground for those who want to just be told wtf is going on. There's still enough to love, with that being explained... It's not too much.

Damn, I love this movie.

I...think I know a few people that have done that before with other movies.

::whistles and stares off into space::

Actually, I wonder if the Director's Cut is on DVD. Normally I wait long enough and buy that version.

Not yet, but I imagine it someday will be.
