So, Donnie Darko. I was warned a mere couple of hours before the show that it was creepy. I am sorely perturbed that no one told me how fucking scary and strange that movie is. One might think the bunny would tip you off, but gods above. It was a very strange and intense theater experience, and perhaps moreso as this was a director's cut. It made me very nervous.

Is it love? Is it fear? Is it self sacrifice? Is it the absolute frailty of our lives? Is it just that we are all alone when we die? I can't sleep for thinking.

To try and take the edge off, I watched O Brother Where Art Thou?. That happens to be another movie I had never seen. Shockingly funny, and I think the parallels to Homer were well played.

If you liked "Oh Brother" I highly recommend "Sullivan's Travels" which is where they got the name from.

(Oh, and Veronica Lake is a good light comic actress as well as a fabulous hair model.)
