I remember "Suicide is "Painless" very well. A cynical and sarcastic ode to one of many forgettable wars (Korean War).
I've always liked dark humor. Irony is a bulwark tool of satire. The best, to my mind, is Eric Idle's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" at the end of Monty Python's "Life of Brian." Still funny as hell 46 years later.
Perfect!! So much cool in that!!! Still so many enigmas even after the explanations! I always see something I’d forgotten or discounted each time! Great comment, Nic!
Donnie Darko, yep, I’m in, perfect for the season! “Every living creature dies alone” or “...of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, Cellar Door is the most beautiful.”

I liked the story that the director couldn’t translate his concept to lyrics, but it took his teenage son just a few minutes to come up with it!
