Just Saw Jake in Jarhead (SPOILER)
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!

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?
