1: Donnie Darko
What a lame piece of crap this was. I was expecting some deep, meaningful rendering of the human understanding of time-travel, and the space around us. Instead it was about as deep as Bill & Ted's Exellent Adventure - which is also a superior time-travel film - and they made Darko follow around some stupid blob. Oh and look, the repurcussions are at the end! Nice one, genius. As if they haven't patronised us enough with their GCSE explanation of time and space, they make us watch what could have been just to drill it home further. Well they can drill this home further *ups middle finger*
2: Bubble Boy
Heh, I bet he thought this one would never come back to haunt him. In the 70's, there was another Bubble Boy film, starring John Travolta. I wasn't aware of the new one, so I was all like "Oh my God, it's the Travolta-bubble film!", little knowing it would be some zany madcap adventure making light of people with no immunities to the outside world. Travolta would be churning in his fat.
3: The Day After Tomorrow
This is quite simply the wurstest flim evah. Clearly designed for American audiences, with it's explosions calculated to go off every 7 minutes, and the characters you see in every disaster movie ever. And they get the special effects out the way in about 20 minutes, to make way for the story and the wolves. Err...what were they thunking - there is no story, and the tacked on wolves were doublemegalame.
Anyway, now Jake/Jack knows what I think of his films, I hope he's thoroughly ashamed of himself.

Donnie Darko is a superb film so :P
I actually found Bubble Boy funny... I dunno why but I did watch it all. And giggled a few times.
Day After Tomorrow is nothing amazing in the slightest but enjoyable in its own way.

I've seen all three of those and that other one, The Good Girl. They may well be his only four films.
Donnie Darko I enjoyed. Despite being somewhat pretentious and cliched in places, and even though the story was somewhat flawed, it was an enjoyable and nicely directed sci-fi drama. Well acted too, for the most part.
I won't defend Bubble Boy - for someone who lives in a bubble house and travels around in a big bubble the film was shockingly cliched. And The Day After Tomorrow was just a disaster film pastiche - mildly enjoyable for the special effects, but had no other substance.
The Good Girl was a bit slow, but probably his second best film behind Donnie Darko. As for Jake himself though, I'd say that he's quite a strong actor. He's got on-screen presence, like Johnny Depp.

But Swayze looked so nice in those vests and tight trousers in Dirty Dancing.
It was the same thing, minus amusing start and ending.
Donnie Darko is one of those movies that "cool" people clique together and say "Oh you don't understand it" when somebody says it, in fact, sniffs balls.
I did understand it, there's nothing to understand.
Plus it had Patrick Swayze in, which means you love Dirty Dancing by proxy, and therefore like to kiss boys and dream about stabbing that ass with your "cutlass"

It's worrying I didn't debate the effete point.
The music was crap.
And I'm not fat. Nor a girl for that matter.
It's also terrible you should even use Quantum Leap as a comparison, considering it was one of the most amazing thing ever. Bakula is a legend.

Donnie Darko sucked balls.
Quantum Leap for fat goth chicks and effette boys that identified with, like, the music and the meaning maaaaan.
Bag of ass.
Bubble Boy - never seen it, speaks for itself with the title.
Day After Tomorrow - there's simply no reason to watch this film, it's from Roland Emmerich, the Godfather of Nothingness.

I liked Donnie Darko. I thought it was good.
But meh.
But meh.
Donnie Darko was great, but then masses of goths and pansy film students started wetting their pants over it which made me think that perhaps I don't like it that much after all. Haven't watched it in ages, remember liking it a lot at the time though.
Bubble Boy? Well.... what did you expect? He's in a bubble.
The Day After Tomorrow was pretty enjoyable crud, wasn't it? I mean... hurricanes? Tidal waves? Um... a big boat floating through Manhattan? Sure, it's like they've tried to cobble the best bit of every disaster movie together, but it's an SFX movie, therefore I care not whether characters live or do, or the important underlying social message that we're killing the planet, blah blah blah. But the CGI wolves were gash.
