i've seen it probably 15 times, and it's fun to come up with new things you see and figure out.  It's not nearly as overrated as it is underrated.  Hardly anyone has even seen it and it's one of the best movies ever imo.  I hope the DC comes out near me in Indiana

it's overrated as far as "cult" films go.... it's a pretty good movie,... juss not as good as all the "so called intellectual indie kids" like to think it is.

no offense.  it was just weird to be weird, not for a reason.

naw it's weirdness has a reason you just have to look for it.

umm that doesn't make sense.  If someone thinks the movie is good, how can you tell them it isn't.  Liking a movie is a preference, you can't tell someone it's not as good as they think it is.  It just doesn't make sense

"im sorry, when did this store become a facist regime?"

 you thinking its good is a preference, just like me thinking it sucks is a preference, and we are each entitled to our thoughts

i'm sorry good point, i just think a lot of people miss what the movie is all about.  It's fun to try and figure it out cause it really does have some deep meanings to it

i would imagine the DC is gonna be pants.

Anyone who has seen the special features on the DVD (UK one and I presume the US one also) will know the stuff thats gonna be added.

I thought DD was superb, but after seeing the Deleted scenes and stuff and the angle he was trying to get with the movie, I cant see the DC being any better (it may even make the movie worse)

 The deleted scene where it shows how Donnie died would have completely ruined the movie IMO.
