    Yeah I agree, it seems like there is no way for the sequel to succeed and not tarnish the first film. It's such an unusual film that expectations will be difficult to match for the 2nd. e.gif

    Ah, but clearly what happened was that 4 days, 17 hours, 26 minutes and 32 seconds have passed since this tread was started, at which point a spacetime tunnel was opened, allowing an advance preview copy of the S. Darko DVD to be sent back in time where, in a tragic accident, it became embedded in basquille's head, preventing him from ever starting the thread.

    Whoah, whoah whoah, whoah! Let's not descend into hyperbole, okay?! Donnie Darko was good. But it was a wonderful mistake. Richard Kelly didn't mean to make it that good. Want proof? See the truly god-awful director's cut which renders the film almost unwatchable.

    Any chance of a merge with basquille's original thread?

    Nononono, if that happens a paradox will be created and they'll have to make another film to resolve it. And we don't want that, do we?

    Not by a long shot buddy. It was vastly vastly overrated.

    The actor who played Samantha in the original is in it. The trailer looks poor tbh.
