We just watched Donnie Darko. While it does pose some interesting questions and present a tiny bit of food for thought, it's not 1/100th the masterpiece that Primer is.

Given the enormous popular success it's had and the incredible proliferation of websites and fandom associated with Donnie, I can only say this: If there were any justice in the world of film, Primer would be the film all my students are gaga over and that every person demanding intelligent SF is demanding I see. I'm inclined to view Donnie's success vis a vis Primer's relative box office failure as a prime example of the arbitrary nature of the media machine's favorite-playing.

Whatever. Primer comes out on video April 5. Rent it. Buy it. Watch it.
