How in the world can you love the 80's and not love Donnie Darko? Of course it's not about the 80's as much as it's in the 80's. I rented it a few times and loved it. Then the wife finally saw it and loved it so much she bought the DVD. Of course this is a film that people are either going to love or hate. You either 'get it' or you don't.

Naw, seriously though, I guess I don't get it but I wouldn't mind getting it if there's something I'm missing. I know quite a bit about the convolutions time travel is capable of bringing about. One of the more complicated examples of which I wrote myself in 1992 (Corsican Rule). I'm pretty sure I'm not getting confused about anything that happens, aside from the fact that Donnie is in fact a fruitcake and what's the story with Grandma Death?
