why why why why WHY are they making a sequel to Donnie Darko?
Apparently it picks up 7 years after the first one and focuses on Donnie's little sister.
I hate how everything has to have a sequel these days because they feel they can bank on the cult movie status. they didn't even get the same guy to play frank!

Here, have a synopsis

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

S. Darko takes place in the summer of 1995, seven years after the original film. It follows Donnie Darko's younger sister, Samantha (Daveigh Chase), who, in the wake of his death, has found herself at age 17 with a broken family, mired in feelings of insignificance. She and her best friend Corey (Evigan) set off on a road trip to Hollywood in a bid to 'make it big', but their journey is cut short when their car breaks down unexpectedly, leaving them stranded in a small desert town. When a meteorite happens to crash-land nearby, Samantha is plagued by bizarre visions telling of the universe's end and it appears that their breakdown was part of some grander plan. She must face her own demons and, in doing so, save the world and herself



I enjoyed the much more subtle, provocative, ask questions, leave things unexplained style of the first one.This just feels like a sci-fi save the earth teen roadtrip movie. smeh.

thats what i get for playing on the interwebs when i should be getting my shit organized for tomorrow

Oh god why ruin things with relentless sequels? What else will be coming out? Anything to make money! And you have to name them something fierce!

-American Beauty 2: Ghost Bone's Swordal Revenge

-Casablanca: American Revenge Fist Blood

-Walk The Line Returns Again with Blood, Bones, Ghouls, Ghosts, and Muck

-Ed Wood VS. Hitler: A Space Odyssey Of Death

-Child of Eraser Head

I mean we expect George Lucas to continue to vomit out sequels, prequels and what not at us, and those endless: Not another <Fill in the Blank> Movie, movies. Is there anything creative that mainstream will not ruin?

Bah I'm tired and will stop ranting!
