Finally watched Donnie Darko, and it lived up to the hype. Loved Drew Barrymore as the sexy English teacher, although I find it amusing the various ways actors try to "do" teaching. For example, for the role, Drew dies her hair mousy brown, makes sure her skin is pale and finds boxy, "academic" glasses. While teaching, she walks around the classroom meaningfully like she feels the prose, staring off into the distance while clasping the book she's talking about. It's, like, literature. Literature. And in the PTA meeting, when she yells out "it's meant to be ironic". Ha ha ha ha.
