Seth and John: I agree 100% with your observations. There is also a distinction to be made between a film that 1) defies genre conventions because it doesn't know what it wants to be (pretty common), and then a film that

Seth, I think you definitey nailed the gist of DD, a lot sooner than I did at least. :D I would completely agree with your explanation of the meaning behind all the events that transpire during the film. I have to respectfully disagree with DD being

I was confused because I didn't recognize Donnie's sister in costume and because there is, in the credits, a listing for "Mystery Woman." Now who that refers to, I have no idea. Now that I have been set straight, entire portions of the plot are becoming abundantly clear! Thanks for all the...
