There seems to be some pessimism about the DC here. Does it merely incorporate the deleted scenes? Does it oversimplify the story? What's the scoop? (NO I CAN'T WAIT!)

I blind bought the theatrical DVD and was phenomenally disappointed.
The other day someone brought it up, and I talked non stop about it for several minutes... then added "but I didn't really like it"
As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I realised how stupid I sounded.

I was glad to see a frame of the "Watership Down" scene back in there.
I don't know if I could prefer this over the original cut, but I'll give it a chance.

I saw it in Pasadena, when it was originally released. I think I still might have the ticket stub, do I win anything ? 
But seriously, I can't wait for this.

Again:
What is so wrong with the DC? I understand that Less is often More... but is there something specifically that ruins an otherwise good film in this longer version?

The film kicks into it's limited release (top markets) starting 7/23/04. 
Vegas BETTER get the director's cut. We got the theatrical cut for a week, we should at least get the director's cut for a week too.

The new theater downtown shows only independent and foreign films. I got a good feeling this will make an appearance

I just watched the original tonight (for a second time) - still didn't like it all that much. There was alot that I did like, but there was enough here to dislike that I can say I didn't like it. I thought it was too ambiguous about its 'message'. I like movies that leave it up to the audience to discuss, but this one left too much and didn't seem to really make a point or at least stand on one side of the fence or the other. Does the DC clear things up a bit WRT the filmmaker's position on things? (I'm trying to be ambiguous so I don't spoil anything for others).

DONNIE DARKO - getting re-released in NYC theaters
Next Friday (7/23) Donnie Darko is being re-released at two NYC theaters in what is being described as the "director's cut". It's had midnite showings, but not a regular engagement like this.
There's an ad for it appearing in the Arts & Leisure section of Sunday's NY Times, along with a nice article chronicling its DVD success as a cult hit.
It will be nice to see this on a big screen!

I didn't see it on the big screen. Now's my chance.
Great film.
I'll see it this coming weekend, gladly. Although I don't get why this film is in a director's cut form now.

is there some site that shows what theaters will be showing the Darko directors cut?
