You have to understand the "predestination paradox" theory to understand it.

Time travel and the necessity of certain things having to happen for everything else to be okay with the world. Hence, Donnie sacrificing his life for everything to be okay but given the opportunity to put everything right before he goes. Classic manipulation for poor ol' Donnie but then life can suck at times!


The Mothman is part of this, too!!! :p

It's okay I guess. Really just lot a Hot Topic hype bs...

If you dig it, check out The Machinist. I really got into that..

It's got Christian Bale in it. (American Psycho)

Not as good as Donnie Darko...but The Machinist is a pretty good flick. If you liked The Machinist, I recommend The Jacket. Great movie, and a good mind-fuck, like these.

I've seen the Jacket. Maybe it's just all the hype there was for it, certainly didn't live up to my expectations.

Fine movie. I especially like (was it frank?) the rabbit.

Donnie Darko and The Machinist, love 'em both, very good, even great films. I haven't seen the director's cut of Donnie Darko yet, however.

I liked The Jacket as well, damn decent film and much better than I expected. But I haven't really had a desire to see it again.

The Jacket? I thought about renting it. It seemed like a crappy independent flick, was it any good?
