   I didn't much like Donnie Darko.  But if you did, you might like to know   
   that another film with the same sort of alienated American suburban teen   
   angsty vibe to it is coming up.  It's called The Chumscrubber (probably the   
   ugliest movie title ever, at least until someone makes "Touch My Goat") and   
   is of the Darko ilk but without the SF/time travel stuff.
