Erm... where do I start? Great film, but a little confusing. For example, how does Donnie end up back in his bed to make sure the jet engine hits him at the end? Does he go through the portal as well?

I never recommended ring...

I'm with snuggly, go for Audition instead.

Scarier, in a demented girlfriend kind of way.

I shall see.

If it's rubbish then I'll pout like a baby and never ever watch anything else you suggest.

Ring sucks, by the way

Ah, but this one's worth it for the Smith-like script.

As well as space-time continuum balls you get:

Man in rabbit costume - like Sexy Beast
Conversation about Smurfs' sexual habits - like surreal smith conversations
Amusing 80's self help video - kinda like Tappy Tibbons off Requiem for a Dream
And it is very funny too
Really

Bah, I'm not watching this one then.

I'm going to enjoy Mallrats and watch a fatman dressed as batman crash into a female changing room.

I wasn't too sure about that...

I think it's partly the realisation that what he is witnessing is a portal, as the actual travelling through it.. Or he creates it or something. But what he ends up in is a tangent universe rather than the one that's just been destroyed... And everything that happens during the "Mad World" song shows that people in this tangent universe have a slight knowledge of what's happened in the other one - Frank touches his eye, other people do other things, which they wouldn't have known about otherwise.

Confusing? Yes.

Donnie's role is to sacrifice himself so that the events that happened in his universe don't happen in that one. I think.

Sight and Sound reckoned it was probably much simpler to start off with, but an editor suggested making it weirder to go for a more culty feel.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
