Yesterday, I failed to attend a screening of Donnie Darko followed by a Question & Answer session with director Richard Kelly. (This was a simple matter of not discovering it was on until after it was sold out). This is very annoying, as the film is one of the most extraordinary and powerful I have seen in yonks, and I would have loved to ask him about the motivations of his satire on the teaching profession, or what was the significance of the giant talking rabbit, and did the world really end. Plus I would have liked to compliment him on the brilliant use of early 1980s pop music: particularly that of Tears for Fears
