Just Saw Jake in Jarhead (SPOILER)

<< < (6/8) > >>

littleguitar:
the director's cut of donnie is worth watching if you've already seen the original.  But I would definitely start with the original.  The tone of the director's cut is entirely different and I think it loses a lot of it's humor.  I think there are a few extra scenes in the director's cut that are interesting but they really emphasize Donnie's depression... I do like the director's cut but I watched it first and hated it, it wasn't until I saw the original that I fell in love with the movie

EnnisDelMar:
Yeah I like the Theatrical Donnie much better than the Director's Cut... he took out the Echo and the Bunnymen song!

littleguitar:
oh I know brandon! that made me really mad! that song was perfect right where it was, it set the tone of the entire movie!

SFEnnisSF:
Ok, I just watched Jarhead tonight (on the 4th of July appropriately).  All I can say is WOW.  I am speechless.  I kick myself for not seeing this in the theatre before BBM now. 

And I hate to say this, but I think Jake gave a better performance in Jarhead.   (runs and hides)... He's a GREAT ACTOR!    I was blown away by his performance.  It's great acting when you don't see the actor, but you see the character.  In BBM I see Jack, and in Jarhead, I see Swoff.  I don't see "Jake"!

Jarhead... way overlooked last November...

Agreed 100% on all accounts Eric...

Unfortunetly it was seen as more of a political statement rather then a movie and was overlooked big time....

Eh..what do award associations know anyways?
