But more importantly, who will score the Donnie Darko sequel??

Um, Twilight Zone?

PRESS TEH FUCKING BUTTON!!

bleh!

Did anyone see/like Southland Tales?

Cameron Diaz needs to go far far far away. bleh x 1000000.

Southland Tales was unbelievably terrible.

if you go in with the expectation that it's incomprehensible, terrible mess, southland tales becomes almost tolerable. almost.

Southland Tales was a terrible mess, for sure. But there was something intriguing about it in its messy way. The casting alone makes it worth a recommendation, but in no way was it a good movie. Maybe repeated viewings or the aid of some heavy drugs would help.

Richard Kelly is a great director. I mean a really great director. Southland Tales is a GREAT film. It really is a film like Donnie Darko that you need to watch a number of times to really see whats going on. Let's remember that Donnie Darko was in and out of theaters in a split second when it first came out. It did not get good reviews and no one actually went to see it. It was only after it came out on video that people watched it over and over again and found what was so wonderful about it. The idea for The Box is nothing unique or new at all but I am excited to see what he does with it. I would bet that there is going to be much more going on than what is in that brief synopsis.

I thought donnie darko was for whiny emo kids, but this looks pretty cool.

Yep, Twilight Zone.

Donnie Darko is crap posing as art. Wise up, kids. you want to see a real movie, rent Cabin Boy.

The reason Donnie Darko didn't do well in the theatres -- hmm, maybe it had something to do with the fact we were all recovering from 9/11???

I saw "Cabin Boy" in the theater.

" It really is a film like Donnie Darko that you need to watch a number of times to really see whats going on."

You're a complete idiot if you think this makes a film great. It's actually the opposite. Get a clue.

Donnie Darko isn't aging very well. And Southland Tales is possibly the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. Fail.

Stupid fuck #2. Please explain this theory to me Einstein. Does everything in your world have to be easy to understand right away for it to be good. You mean anything that is a challenge and that does not reveal itself immediately is bad??? I guess then it is ok to call you a simpleton.

More importantly, who in this universe expected "Donnie Darko" to rake in boatloads of cash when it was in the theatres? It didn't do well in the theatres because it's not "Daddy Day Care".

Fave Twilight Zone ever. Actually, one of the only episodes I ever really liked.

^No I don't blame it on 9/11, but we sure as hell wasn't looking forward to seeing it in the theatres. You really think a film with a plane crash would have done well back then? It would've been unpatriotic, wouldn't it? Just like it would've been unpatriotic to protest the war to begin with. Stupid fuck.

STFU you stupid republican asshole. It was not unpatriotic to protest the war right from the start. It was courageous and as we all know now right on the money. And who is the "we" that you speak of you pompous ass. 9/11 had nothing to do with why Donnie Darko was unsuccessful in theaters but nice try dipshit.

"You really think a film with a plane crash would have done well back then?" = comedy gold

LOL I vote Democrat. Nice to know you're "right on the money". And who uses "dipshit" nowadays? hahahahahaha

"And who uses "dipshit" nowadays?"

Hey it might be an oldie but it sure summed you up quite perfectly

Oh no, you've really hit the spot.

Deny it all you want. If you think paranoia wasn't rampant back then you should've bottled and sold whatever it is you were on.

Thank you i know i hit the spot. Did not need for you to confirm it for me but in any case it is great that you see this about yourself. Certainly acceptance is the first step.

And yes paranoia was incredibly rampant back then but that is not what you said in that original stupid comment of yours. And paranoia and 9/11 had nothing to do with Donnie Darko's achievements at the box office.

Donnie Darko was a pretty immature film that seems amazing the first few times you watch it or if you are young and inexperienced in critiquing films.

Leia, what a ridiculous statement. It is probably immature to you because YOU have no idea how to critique a film.

a complicated screenplay doesn't mean the film has depth, a mistake made by most incoming college freshman.donnie darko is the typle of film pseudo intellectuals embrace, but most actual well-versed films buffs shy away from.

donnie darko wasn't an awful film, and there are certainly are aspects of the film that works, but that it's been elevated to the status of film classic by a generation who feel the matrix is the pinnacle of modern film making, is disheartening.

^^^^^another pseudo intellectual trying to pass themselves off as a well versed film buff. So transparent its hilarious

The only thing I liked about Southland Tales was that JT scene with the Killers song, but I didn't read the comics beforehand. Did anyone?

i saw cabin boy TWICE in the theater, but only once on acid. you'd need to take some serious blotter to enjoy southland tales.

actually arcade fire are only doing a couple of songs for richard kelley's new film, not the whole score.
i dont know if the box seems like its going to be that great though... i dont know if arcade fire and thrillers go..
