Summary from Wikipedia: "Donnie Darko is a 2001 psychological thriller, containing elements of science fiction, directed and written by Richard Kelly. It is about an intelligent, troubled teenager named Donald ("Donnie") J. Darko who is encouraged by an anthropomorphic rabbit to commit seemingly random acts of vandalism. Themes addressed in the film include existentialism, nihilism, sacrifice, deus ex machina, time travel, love, The American Dream, and fear. The movie presents paradoxes that aren't fully explained, as well as a cryptic storyline open to multiple interpretations. The film was a flop upon its release in the US, but has found strong DVD sales and is now generally considered a cult classic, ranking 106th on the IMDb Top 250." This movie can get extremely creepy at some parts, but turns out incredibly good at the end. I thought it'd be stupid, but it was nowhere near that. It's one of those where sometimes you want to turn it off, but can't.

Oh I remember this one..... my summary: An ugly kid, a stupid rabbit, and creepy (not in a good way at all) events. I only saw a little bit of it and was totally disgusted by it. It might be ok for some people...but I really don't consider it a decent movie (and hardly watchable) at all. I think I'd rather watch The Cave, and that movie was a real stinker..... and I'm not surprised the end was good. It's always good when a crappy movie is over! I know, I know. That's not what you meant. J/k...LOL.... but really, I'm surprised anyone liked this movie at all.

Really? I thought it was great. I figured it be the kind of movie you and Bugg would like. (When I wrote Bugg's name just now, I missed the 'g', and hit the 't' twice...so I almost called her Butt.)

Hehe...yeah I've done that too (almost typed butt instead of bugg). ...and no....that is not our type of movie. See, and you thought you had us figured out. And actually, I find that movie so bad it almost annoys me.

Ha, Mello. You missed your T in your previous post. And as much as I am for creepy things, this movie just didn't grab me. Maybe if you stick with it, you'll like it... just as you said. It's just that it made me turn it off, so that pretty much killed it. Plus, I like when creepy things are done well, which this one didn't seem to do. Usually...anything deemed "cult" isn't interesting to me, like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, that dumb Smallville show on the WB.....
