Donnie Darko
A few weeks ago a friend lent me a film I'd never heard of but which he though I'd enjoy. As this mate of mine invariably has a good taste in films I didn't even bother to read the blurb on the back. I just whacked it into my DVD player.
And I was completely - and unexpectedly - blown away.
It's also a little bit freaky that since I watched it I've seen references to it everywhere. Well, perhaps not so freaky, it got under my skin so I'm sensitive to it. I even watched it again last night.
And when I switched off my DVD player and standard TV popped onto my screen I saw the BBC were trailing the film that's to be broadcast tonight at 21:35 on BBC2.
Synchronicity or just plain freaky?
