Can't believe I haven't read this thread before, but I don't spose its too late to jump on board... ;D
hungry_hungryhippos : - Donnie Darko... one of my favourite lines of the film.
Cause I read that Isabelle and others hadn't seen it, quick explanation of the scene where the line is said: Donnie's a troubled youth who has to save the world. He's in therapy for emotional problems. His shrink (the fabulously gorgeous Katharine Ross) has put him under hypnosis. He's laying on a couch (lucky couch, I say), eyes closed and his shrink is talking to him. Under hypnosis, he speaks with a high, almost child-like voice. Conversation goes as follows:
Donnie: they didn't get me what I wanted for Christmas..
Dr Thurman: What did you want for christmas that year, Donnie?
Donnie: Hungry Hungry Hippos!
Dr Thurmas: How did you feel, being denied these Hungry Hungry Hippos?
Donnie: Regret.
Love this movie. Give it about 2 or 3 screenings, gals, if you watch it first time and are a bit like, WTF???

Sheyne, it's right about then that I first fell for Jake Gyllenhaal. From the beginning of DD until this hypnosis scene he is just one moderately good looking kid. But just then Dr Thurman talks about girls and and Jake, ehem Donnie, undoes his pants and puts his hand... Ok ok, the others can watch it for themselves. But from that moment on, I was totally smitten with JG. And each time I re-watched it, I wonder what it is about JG that I see now that I didn't see in the early stages of DD. Anyway, prior to BBM, DD was my #1 film of all time. Now I've got BBM, Jake also has the title of being my favourite actor and the lead in my 2 top films of all time.
Not sure if this is unhealthy or not. It doesn't feel unhealthy, but... you know...
Jeff Wrangler:
I can't believe I didn't read this thread until now. Way interesting!
I just got tired of the boringness of using my name over at IMDb when everyone else was so clever. Here it was going to be "Justin Wrangler," "Justin" for the brand name of my cowboy boots, "Wrangler" for my jeans brand of choice these days. Then I thought, At least they know you as "Jeff," so better keep the "Jeff" part. Life is confusing enough!

I hadnt even considered opening myself up to another person for friendship -or more-for a long time. So my name is really the opposite of who I am. It is however the kind of person I want to become.

That's beautiful, hopefulheart. You sound like you are already on a good start on your journey. I wish you the very best, and thank you for being here and sharing some of your story.
Peace,

Chris, I know what you mean about that scene. Every time he starts sliding his hand down inside his pants I'm just like "don't clap your hands, woman!! Don't clap!! Not yet!!!" lol.. just a liiiittle longer.. ;D
Actually when I fell for him was when he was talking to Noah Wyle's character.. If you dig this film as much as me, you'll know it well: the line is "Roberta Sparrow?...*pause*.. Come on.." and he gives this disbelieving smile.... oh god, I just lost it. The smile grabbed and hasn't let me go. I was gone...
I can't get enough of him as Donnie OR Jack Twist, actually. Hell I even loved him with his Bugs Bunny teeth and big Bambi eyes in City Slickers.... lol... Mind you, when I first saw CS, I wasn't actually commiting a felony in thinking he was gorgeous cause we were BOTH underage then... I'm only about 5 or so yrs older than Jake... still think he's cute tho..
