Many, many thanks to Opus for digging this up …
Donnie Darko just may be the finest debut film that I’ve ever seen. It released at exactly the wrong time (the plane engine dropping through a teenage boy’s roof didn’t play particularly well in the aftermath of 9-11) but has deservedly developed a strong cult following and according to CNN that’s enough for Newmarket Films to give a theatrical run to a new directors version of the film that runs a solid 20 minutes longer than the original.
Hopefully this time the theatrical run includes Canada. Bubba is pleased. Bubba is very, very pleased.
