Love, love, love Withnail! I'm one of those tedious people who fall about in the pub quoting bits to one another.


Also, is the JG in Donnie Darko Jake Gyllenhaal? If so, what about Brokeback Mountain, he was excellent in that. Also rather good in the Iraq War movie whose name I've forgotten.

Jarhead. Mmm, yes he was good. Although the book is better (*yawns*)


Well for my two cents I love Donnie Darko - especially the great soundtrack - and am with Jeremy on the time travel/parrallel universes explanation. He allows himself to die to save his girlfriend.


Withnail is also legendary.


I'm with Keef on the Pixies though. *whispers and points in Sean's direction* - "Keef, maybe it's a generational thing - you know what these old folk are like..."

Seriously, anyone, find me a film with a more finely honed script. Normally films like that come from theatre and rarely translate to the big screen.

Withnail works perfectly in that British gritty cinema sort of way.


Again, I understand people not liking it, or even hating it (and its proponents "fecking students" etc) but why deny its brilliance?

Writer/director Richard Kelly offers a deep, dark and convoluted interpretation in which only the time-travelling Donnie can resolve a divergence between the primary universe and a tangent reality. Weird stuff ? no wonder it acquired a cult following.


A summary can be found about halfway down this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
