HOLLYWOOD, CA - Three years, two DVD commentaries, and eleven fan sites later, Donnie Darko fans have yet to understand the film, or why they even like it at all.
The film\'s paradoxical tale of time travel, or parallel universes, or whatever the hell it\'s about, continues to perplex it\'s viewers even after being \"explained\" by the film\'s creator, Richard Kelly, in the DVD commentaries.
\"I was hoping the commentary would help me get it, but it just made me more confused,\" stated Brian Phelps, owner of Long Box Comics in Fresno, California.
A Donnie Darko fan site webmaster, Dennis Johnson, retorted Phelps’ statement with, \"He obviously isn\'t in tune with all the dimensions of his world. Maybe he would be more comfortable watching Back To The Future, where he doesn\'t have to use his brain. Heh, heh, heh.\"
When asked why he himself liked the film, Johnson said, \"It\'s just... like... weird and cool.\"
