Movie Trivia: Donnie Darko Two–It Exists.
This next item will prove to be beyond all logic and reason, but I tell you, based on several different reports, it is true.
There will be a second Donnie Darko, and there’s a real good chance that there will not be any Donnie in it. Check out an actual report on the plot:
The story picks up seven years after the first film when little Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions.
Daveigh Chase will be back to handle Samantha duties, but word is scarce if Donnie will be back. Which makes me question the whole point of this idiocy in the first place.
I’ll confess–I did not LIKE Donnie Darko. Mostly because I could barely UNDERSTAND Donnie Darko. Generally, movies that confuse the hell out of me are not what I call real entertaining. And Donnie Darko could’ve been a real kickass movie, too–get that bunny character to go all “homicidal hallucination” on us and the next thing you know, you got a positively lunatic movie. And scary besides. Donnie Darko was scary in the sense that dreams about taking a test you didn’t study for are scary–because you have absolutely NO CLUE what is going on. And it’s only worse if you show up for that test in your undies. I’ve been there.
Actually, no…I don’t even get TO the test. I’ve forgotten my entire class schedule and my locker combination. Also where my locker even IS.
But if you were one of the few people who liked Donnie Darko, you can take a swing over to the Donnie Darko trivia on Kwanzoo. Maybe you’ll even enjoy the sequel, too!

Ok, so in Donnie Darko, right, a rift opens up in space-time and splits the universe into two forks. Then dead people from one reality try to manipulate Donnie to seal up the rift, which he does, killing himself with an airplane engine.
Donnie Darko is one of those moves where the Wikipedia article kind of makes you like it less.
Ah. Thanks for the explanation, Matt…now I can’t stand Donnie Darko because it’s just plain old MORONIC as opposed to incomprehensible. I mean, I’m an alternate history buff with the best of them, but this was just ludicrous.
