The director’s cut version of Donnie Darko came out yesterday. I reserved it online at Border’s and went to pick it up on my way home (the bus stop I get off at is across the street from the Border’s in town). I go in, picked up the latest issue of Popular Science for TheBoy, and go to the register to pick up my reserved copy. I had received notice that it was in, however, the girl couldn’t find it. *sigh* I got to stand at the counter for nearly 20 minutes waiting for the manager to locate a copy on the shelf and when she returned with it, her response was “why do they have to change the cover???” the cover itself is dark, like the original, but the whole thing is in a white cardboard slipcover. I then told her that they have to change it, otherwise nerds like me wouldn’t know the original from the director’s cut when they sat next to each other on their shelf at home. Yep, I am that nerdy. In the process of waiting a guy did say to me “I saw Gir on your bag and it made me smile.” I spent an hour and a half sewing the darn patch on, so it was nice to have a stranger say something nice about it. I haven’t watched the director’s cut yet, I’m hoping to do so this afternoon, I’m so very excited by it. I was really sad when it didn’t come to theatres around here.
