Beyond the Multiplex

Is the spectacularly ambitious "Southland Tales" the next "Donnie Darko"? Plus: Noah Baumbach on directing Nicole Kidman in the wrenching "Margot at the Wedding" (an interview and podcast).

    Donnie Darko

    This movie was completely pointless. If Rabbit Guy doesn't go back in time and save Donnie then Donnie doesn't cause Rabbit Guy's death later on. So what was the purpose of Rabbit Guy doing that? By his interference in past events he causes his own death which seems pretty stupid. I consider myself a pretty sophisticated moviegoer but why people think this is such a great film is beyond me.
