  The End of the Tour 2015

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  I appreciated the toned down approach to storytelling, but it felt lacking at certain points. Also felt like there was a minor effort to portray DFW as a sort of covert narcissist, which he may or may not have been, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it was more of a charicature that was being presented. Maybe this just comes with the territory when you make a movie about someone with something of a cultural mythology surrounding them. Great acting, Jason Segel killed. Jesse Eisenberg was Jesse Eisenberg lol.

  You shouldn't be allowed to call this art. Also they should have had more scenes with the sexy bat lady

  Donnie Darko 2001

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Apr 2018

  What. A. Movie. This thing is clearly drenched in symbolism but I'm gonna need to see it at least once more in order to have some sort of grasp on what the writer/director is trying to communicate here. And a note to all directors who want to make a movie about a psychotic person: hire Jake Gyllenhaal.
