Today’s Movie Of Peachy-Keenness

Donnie Darko.

I finally got around to watching it a little while, the Director’s cut DVD, not the original, and I was completely taken in. Brilliant movie. And Donnie’s confrontation with Patrick Swayze’s self-help guru character was legendary. It’s one of those moments I think many of use wish we could have taken in our lives with “Look through the mirror and love yourself” being deflected by “If you don’t want to get beat up, take some defense classes and fight back! Jesus…”

That scene alone made me love the movie completely, but it also feel handedly into my “Damn, I wish I’d written that…” category.
