S.Darko: The S stands for "Shitty"

I had no intentions of seeing this film let alone documenting my thoughts on it, but alas, here I am. I guess curiosity got the best of me? As if you couldn't tell, I hated this piece of crap. What brought my hatred to extended heights wasn't the wooden performances, nor the millions of trying to be cool by referencing the original references. No, not even the worm holes that looked like they were stolen from a Thompson Twins'video, but the fact that they used a Cocteau Twins' song for the final four minutes of the film. I'm such a pretentious snob, say no more! I don't want my favorite band anywhere near a piece of garbage like this. The song( Heaven or Las Vegas) didn't even jive with what was on screen! It just didn't fit!The only film I've seen that utilized a Twins' song beautifully was "Mysterious Skin". Now that I exhausted that from my system, onward with my thoughts! Richard Kelly had nothing to do with this project, and I bet he's glad his name isn't attached to this. I am a fan of the original, but have to admit I do find it to be a tad overrated. I remember one time you couldn't even go to a coffee house without overhearing some lovelorn-black-hair-skinny-jean Emo-freak professing his love for this film. Every Myspace user had Donnie Darko as their favorite film. But, I'm not writing about Richard Kelly's Darko, but Chris Fisher's unnecessary sequel. The plot was all over the place. Well maybe it was too deep for you Matt, and you're an idiot and just don't understand it? NO! How about the narrative was choppy, and a complete mess. Kelly's was mind-bending, but in the way that makes you think. It had direction and knew what it was doing. This was just trying too hard to be mind-bending, because it didn't know where to go as far as story and character development. I know, we'll throw in some trippy sequences and that will bend our viewers minds to the brink of them liking it! Wrong! It was more like a WB mini-movie. The only thing I made from this was that it was about Samantha and something about the world ending. To be honest I don't really care. This was like falling on top of dead hookers buried under HIV infested needles and a great big F you to Richard Kelly! Shame Shame.
