    I was channel surfing when I just so happened to have landed on this channel showing "Donnie Darko".The movie is so abstract, yet you can't take off your eyes off it. This was and is my favorite movie without intention. Donnie is so freaking hot and so I need you guys to see it if you haven't! :)
