:!:

A heads-up: For the next Xixax Home Film Festival (of One), we'll be sitting down to visit our good friend Donnie Darko.

Date: Sunday, September 14th.

Time: 9:00pm (central time)

i leave you now with a re-run of our other explanitory thread, already in progress..

:arrow:  :arrow:  :arrow:

QUESTIONS:
• I don't have (film name). Can I still participate? If you don't have the movie we're going to watch, there's probably still time for you to purchase, rent or borrow it. Everyone is welcome, whether you're watching the film with us or not.
• I don't understand. Are you watching the movies online? No. That would be public exhibition, which would be illegal. The way it works is that everyone watches DVD or VHS of the films in their own home, on their own TV, in their own DVD player or VCR. The films can't be shown online legally.
• You're a freak. Why are you doing this? Because someone at xixax.com suggested it, and I thought it would be a lot of fun.
• I still think you're a freak. OK then.

Excited 'cause this is one of my favorite movies, not-so-excited because Conan O'Brien's 10th Anniversary Special is on that night as well.  So yeah, torn and stuff.

The banner is nice. Maggie Gyllenhaal, in the movie, is nicer.

Sunday Sept. 14? That's Conan O'Brien's 10th Anniversary special! I wouldn't miss it for the world! Especially since I never cared for DD anyway....

But if there's ever a festival for any Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, or Stanley Kubrick films, I'll be there.  :-D

sorry i had to bail so soon. i got an ultra important phone call from my pops (im broke u see) and then i remembered that i had to read a 300 paged book for the morning and i hadn't even started. (stupid 300 paged book)

i did have fun while i was there. did anyone save the text from the chat room? i was laughing my ass off when we were having trouble getting the thing started at the beginning. picolas and his countdowns, hah.

big lebowski sounds fun. i think sundays r the best day for these things, although is there a better time we could do it at as to incorporate more members, the european ones in particular?

splendid idea mogs. it would be nice and long. and we could do two towers shortly thereafter. this would be a good one to do closer to christmas, when return of the king comes out.

i like that idea too, let's do that for christmas. but let's still watch big lebowski, that movie is just begging for one of those chat things.

i would like to propose that we do it in the afternoon though (central us time that is), i don't know if i can handle one of those 4-6am shows.

Last night was a lot of fun. I expected more people than what we got, but there was still plenty of conversation going about. I'm really looking forward to the next one!

I didn't log it because frankly, I was bored during the chat itself - let alone reading it after the fact...

It was more like a Xixax chat-together, which was great.

The movie took a backseat. I'd have enjoyed the movie more without the chat. But, if it takes a movie to get us all together, I say we do it again soon!

OK...I mentioned this during the screening, and no one knew what the hell I was talking about.  Sorry it's taking me so long to get back about it, but I just watched this again with a friend for halloween.  

Donnie's dad mentions a high school friend dyin', named frank.  I am under the impression that it's Frank's (the rabbit) father (tho maybe too young to be, cause he died on the way to prom...but I feel there is some sort of significance no doubt), that he is referring to.  Anyone care to think about this idea with me...sorta a foreshadowing event?

the scene I am speeaking of is...in the 3rd chapter...total elapsed time: 14:20.

Is there a official Donnie Darko thread here? Can't seem to find it with help of google.
