Kino hebat

The Donnie Darko Book by Richard Kelly (the Director)

RM54.60

Frank & Donnie

They Made Me Do It

'The Philosophy of Time Travel'


Yeaaahhhh. Finally, got my hands on this. Kinokuniya hebat.

If you ever feel like ordering books that aren't available in Malaysia, do e-mail kino. They don't charge for shipping.

All you have to do is e-mail kino the details of the book you want to order (A link from Amazon.com will do) and Kino'll tell you how much it'll cost and how much deposit is needed (I paid RM30). They'll also issue you an order number and ask you for your contact details. To pay the deposit, go to the customer service and tell them your order number. Easy peasy.

Donnie Darko

"They Made Me Do It."


The most TRIPPY film I've EVER seen in my life. Period. One of those films that leaves your mind whirling that you could almost swear that you can hear your wits whirring in your head like an engine.

I got round to watching it because I found out that Donnie Darko is a fatalist. I didn't know there's a word for it, acceptance of fate. But then maybe I'm more for Determinism. I don't think I'm quite so passive. I sure as heck overreact a lot though. Ah well, fatalists are fatalists. *shrug* Didn't expect that particular hissy fit episode of mine to be quite so serendipitous.

I don't even know what genre this film is and am not going to try to categorize it either. Hah. Though I suppose it is fantastically surreal. Yeah, yeah, I'm tired of my own peacock terms too but I don't know how else to express how SUPER Donnie Darko is.

Film's about Everything. Like literally. But that's just me. And that's what the film's about, I think. No one answer to any question, ever. Everyone's entitled to their own interpretation of the film, which for once, is fine by me! I usually hate inconclusive nonsense. Heck, Donnie Darko is probably the epitome of inconclusive nonsense.

While you're watching it, you might wanna read this too, The Destructors by Graham Greene. It's in the film.

And THIS. After watching the movie, this is a MUST:


Even if you haven't, you can just try it out for kicks. It's pretty cool.



And yeah yeah, Adam Lambert sang this song on Idol. It's the ending song for the film, Donnie Darko.





P.S: Jake Gyllenhaal, I've got my eyes on you *smiles Donnie Darko's smile*
