Maggie's fashion disorder?

"Surely, promoting The Dark Knight was the perfect way for this indie princess to present her quirky personal style as a charming antidote to Hollywood’s cookie-cutter starlets. Instead, she gave us a fashion roller-coaster, sporting a schizophrenic range of looks that made us wonder if she threw them into her bags at random, possibly while blindfolded.
Maggie’s lone hit came at the Stateside premiere, to which she wore a gorgeous black flowered Dries Van Noten gown (above, center), with minimal accessories beyond the kind of shoulders that make us drop and do ten (okay … five) on the spot. -Note from Weirdland (Our collaborator Penny Lane knows Mr. Van Noten's secretary!)- That's the perfect modern, offbeat spin on a classic cut, and a great example of keeping it simple without being a snore.

But it’s sandwiched between two fussy, bipolar flops. Maggie's floor-length blue-and-black Zac Posen is the clothing version of a split-personality soap-opera character: the pretty, generally well-liked sheath fighting to peek out from behind the domineering, overworked, bed-jacket-esque overlay that appeared one day after a bump on the head and started slutting around town ruining their joint reputation. And that vintage black cocktail dress can't figure out WHAT it wants to be. Did she knot a velvet toga over a slip and think a feathered headband would be the magic Band-Aid that patched it all together?
Multiple personality disorder, dressed in Gaultier and Stella McCartney.

Then Maggie threw in a few ill-advised retro curveballs. So while we’d hoped to emerge from the shadow of The Dark Knight’s press onslaught refreshed by Maggie’s off-kilter charm and sassy style, here we are throwing up our hands and saying to ourselves, "I wonder what Katie Holmes would have worn if she'd stuck around?" The only firm statement these looks make is that Maggie favors an updo. And unless she’s hankering for an Us Weekly cover about her bobby-pin addiction, we hope she’ll consider a more all-around cohesive approach to her next summer-movie fashion spree. After all, if you want your clothes to make a statement, it's better if they're not speaking in tongues. —The Fug Girls

Donnie Darko, Animated Clocks

“What the beginning, end or warp of time represents and means, is beyond me. In dreams, we go to a place, which runs on a different time clock. In this dreamland, time is not linear. The past, present and future are all one.”- Interpretation of "The persistence of the memory" Dalí's painting by Cathy Lo. Source: interpretation.scene360.com"Richard Kelly decides to go for the surrealist, so hippy-hop onto the train folks. This one’s bound for Dahli-wood.

There are no melting clocks in Donnie Darko, but this movie’s got plenty of weirdness in its own right. To say nothing of the movie’s constant references to metaphysics, time travel and what Joss Whedon calls “The Sky Bully.” Source: chosis.coldfusionvideo.com
"Near the end of the movie, when the clock strikes midnight, the movie claims October 30 1988 (SIX HOURS REMAIN)

Which, seems wrong. I would argue 7 hours until the end of the world, but that “Six Hours Remain” may be until the start of the end or something. See at the beginning of the movie Frank the bunny calls Donnie out of his room, the clocks read midnight and the date given is, October 2 1988.

Frank has donnie walk to the golf course and then tells him that he has 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds left (28:06:42:12), assuming about 18 minutes to walk to the course, this places the end of the world around 7am.So the ambiguity is that at midnight on October 30th the movie says 6 hours left when Frank and the sequence of events indicate 7 hours are left and the website says fuckall. (”I will not be afraid!”) Why does all this matter? I wanted to create a clock that gave the countdown to October 30th on the hour of the Collapse of the “tangent universe”. But since I’ve been trying to figure all this out I’m now up way later then I wanted to be and I’m probably not going to make this stupid clock tonight. I’ve found only one other site confused about this, and they didn’t care. I guess they weren’t trying to make a clock". -Francis

"Nick & Norah"'s Infinite Playlist Trailer

"This quirky comedy is about two loners who on a whim suddenly start dating as they head off on an evening adventure through New York City. Well, that's the best I can describe quickly, because it's actually about Norah asking Nick to be her boyfriend for five minutes and the ensuing adventure when they try and leave in Nick's piece of crap car. This actually looks pretty fun so I'm not going to start picking apart the story and the cast, instead, I'll just sit back and enjoy. In actuality, Michael Cera is always great and Kat Dennings looks like she'll hold her own as well, so why not? Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is directed by indie filmmaker Peter Sollett, of only Raising Victor Vargas previously, while the screenplay was written by newcomer Lorene Scafaria. The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Sony Pictures will be releasing Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist in theaters everywhere on Octoberd 3rd".
