why are you wearing that silly man suit?

Do you think that when totally passive-aggressive people know that when, in order to be bitchy, they point out, with irony, that they are passive-aggressive, that they are being passive-aggressive?  Too many commas in that sentence.

Mmm, bustling weekend full of window-shopping and whiskey and ginger pounding. Jolie was in town for a wedding, so I met her and Jason at the Rosebud for cocktails (and they, by the way, drink like GIRLS) and then we went to the U-District for the midnight showing of the Director’s Cut of Donnie Darko at the Neptune.  Considering that I had just been discussing the DC with Jonas, I found the coincidence slightly disturbing, but it did add to the viewing atmosphere, though.  I am never not going to be creeped out by that movie.  Never.  I am still not impressed with the Director’s Cut, though; I really don’t see any overriding need to mess about with a film that was fucking awesome the first time around.  The main addition is the inclusion of excerpts from the fake text, The Philosophy of Time Travel, which basically spell out exactly what is happening in the film, removing some of the ambiguity, I guess, but which I feel does the film (and the audience) a disservice by over-explaining what was much better left open to interpretation.  But hey, I still enjoyed it and it still creeped me out and it is way scarier on a big screen.  Nightmares happened.

I think, however, the giant Spiderman 2 display front of house made the evening, though, because, really, how often is it that you get both a Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire fix in the same evening?  In a perfect world, all movies would contain the following brief scenes: Jake Gyllenhaal making sad puppy dog eyes at the camera; Tobey Maguire pulling his shirt over his head while the fiery heat of his cut torso burns holes in our eyes; and Jake and Tobey making out.  With their shirts off.  While making puppy dog eyes.

I am trying not to let the fact that I am at work spoil my day.  I always find that I spend the majority of Monday mornings glowering and avoiding eye contact, but I’m betting that if I chase a packet of Munchies with a bag of Maltesers, I could be all smiles in no time.

"I really don't see any overriding need to mess about with a film that was fucking awesome the first time around." I am SO glad someone else feels that way. So many people are running around praising the director's cut, not realizing that it was just Richard Kelly's ego trip George Lucasing a perfectly good film. For shame.

You're definitely not the only one on this, Jessica. I was like, "Why don't you replace Donnie's gun with a flashlight too?"

I hate really passive-aggressive people. Especially since they always KNOW that they are fucking passive-aggressive bitches, but they just can't help themselves. It just comes right out and the dumb whores can't keep it in. I know we can all behave that way sometimes, but the truly PA can like never stop doing it. The worst part is that they think that since they're not openly rude, it makes them less bitchy, when, in fct, it makes then more bitchy.

seriously! and richard kelly even sdays on the commentary for the deleted scenes that he cut them because he felt thet "over-explained" things and that he wanted it to be left open to interpretation! he actually says this, over some of the scenes that are included in the director's cut. what the hell?

Remember that time that Tobey took off his shirt? And we were there? OMG. FIRE.
