just watched a decent quirky movie on netflix , i like odd characters
please mention movies you liked that are strange , odd or quirky but captivating and entertaining
i guess the theme could be donny darko genre ?
here is the one i liked on netflix : "I don't feel at home in this world anymore"
Hmmm.
The quirky/strange movies were largely a product of the early 2000s as far as I can remember, and I thought basically all of them were total shit.
At least I noticed the trend started in the early 2000s, and that is when movies and TV entirely went to shit.
Not trying to be a douche, I'm just being honest.
I also thought Donnie Darko totally sucked.
Sorry man.
I should really have just like, not made these posts.
But it's impossible for me not to be totally honest about it.
I mean I thought Donnie Darko was...
Straight up fucking stupid, LOL!!!
Ahahahaha. Sorry.
The story was just dumb as shit, super pretentious, I fucking hated the bunny outfit, it was all cryptic and sought to be something it just wasn't.
I totally despise movies that intentionally make things all complicated and unclear...
Hollywood was been a total floater for decades, just flush it.
you want strange? watch Naked Lunch.
best movies i've seen in the past while - Kung Fury, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. ...seems only 2 come to mind and i run a movie theater. >__>
trix... you not liking donnie darko reminds me of that thread you made about not understanding subtlety.

I guess I get what you must be implying, because apparently some people see some kinda redeeming qualities in that movie and I just see absolutely zero.
Here's the thing...
Dishonesty. I sense dishonesty out of movies (or anything) presented that way...
And I don't appreciate that.
I sense HOLDING BACK...
And there's never a good reason to hold back a message...
Basically prettymuch never.
You're either hiding or disguising something by holding back or confusing or making an expression cumbersome.
It's basically the devil's work and it can suck/blow me.
I like Mt. Rushmore.
I don't know or care if it falls into that category, I'm guessing it does.
Carry on.
I 100% understand this scene.
I totally wanna see him kill his wife.
I'd watch the whole movie but I'm in not really that into watching movies.
Does look like a fun movie though.

i think i know what ya mean. it's quite possible that movie was cut in a certain way to hide truth, like eyes wide shut was.

Dude it's 100% weird AF that you mention Eyes Wide Shut...
I was literally gonna make a post on this thread like 5 minutes ago, totally at random mentioning how I always thought Eyes Wide Shut was pure and utter total garbage too...
But I didn't because I thought it would look way too much like I'm being surly but I'm honestly not.
Naked Lunch looks good , ty surly trix
eyes wide shut was actually a documentary disguised as fiction. when viewed in the proper context it is quite good. unfortunately they cut a lot out and edited it to obfuscate the truth, incidentally turning the movie into a strange mess. kubrick was too accurate and paid for that.
i can really only think of 2 movies that have freaked me out. Fire In The Sky, with the abduction and eye-needle part, and a certain scene towards the end of Naked Lunch. quite haunting... above even the Requiem For A Dream level.
reminds me of a few others of that era and type - Gummo, Kids, and Pi.
