Hey there. I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving, where ever you were. Tammer and I went out for dinner, but in the spirit of the holiday we decided to make a pie.
First we had to decide what kind of pie to make, and since the only kind we could agree on was apple, apple it was. Neither of us had ever made a pie before, but it turned out AWESOME!
thus ends the most boring blog ever.
Donnie Darko
I guess he had been paying attention because a few weeks ago Tammer saw a poster for a local stage production of Donnie Darko and he somehow knew that I would want to go. A couple days later he surprised me with the news. Last night was the big event, and we both really enjoyed it.
For the most part their adaptation was true to the movie; the only thing I was bothered by was that they made some of my favorite characters somewhat unlikeable, like Donnie's mother. Well, I guess they made her more "typical" than "unlikeable", while in the movie I found the character somewhat extraordinary. Also, rather than going completely dark during "scene" changes they had all the different sets arranged on the stage and Donnie would have to run back and forth for the rather fast paced show. It was a little distracting at first, but I began to like it after a bit.
Thankfully, my favorite line ("sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion") was delivered flawlessly and in the spirit of the sentiment behind it (and as the screenwriter surely intended). Also, Frank the bunny was scarier than ever; right there in the flesh (cloth), and me in the second row! I couldn't look directly at him.
Anyway, the whole premise behind Donnie Darko fascinates me. The philosophies of time travel are so varied and often contradictory. I in no way want to imply that I understand the philosophies, but I still think they're neat.
This is me, blogging again. See you in a couple months.
PEACE!
