Will The Real Donnie Darko Please Sit Down
We got an email to tips last night about a website that purported to prove there was a "real Donnie Darko" whose life story had been ripped off by Richard Kelly, and would also allow angered and disheartened fans to sign a class action lawsuit described thusly: "The intent of this class action is to right a karmic and legal wrong as all of you were deliberately defrauded. In additon to being victims of fraud, all of you were also victims of psychological and emotional abuse."
Oh boy. So the website is unsurprisingly INSANE. Before signing the class action lawsuit and making your way up to space court to hear what Judge Ice Cream has to say about it, you can follow the "real Donnie Darko's" journey (his word) in eight chapters and 52 pages of crazy talk. Just a fun summer beach read!
I was the lone plaintiff in a lawsuit against the writer, director, producers and distributors of "Donnie Darko" and "Donnie Darko The Directors Cut." I'm claiming that writer director Mr. Richard Kelly used my autobiography "Tiny Little Virus; HIV, Death, Resurrection and the Second Coming," which I copyrighted in 1998, as the genesis for "Donnie Darko," "Donnie Darko The Directors Cut," and also for his second film, "SouthLand Tales." Consequently I'm the real person that the fictitious "Donnie Darko" is based upon. I need to stop "Donnie Darko The Directors Cut," which is 132 minutes long, and read from my autobiography more than 95 times or approximately once every eighty (80) seconds of film. I need to stop the film seven (7) times before the first word is spoken. As some of you may know "SouthLand Tales" was bought by Sony Pictures and re edited by Mr. Kelly. It was supposed to have been released in theatres in fall 2006 but was released on November 14, 2007. You'll read more about "THE MISSING 17 MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE" later on this web site.
You guys, he has to read from his autobiography once every 80 seconds and stop the film seven times before the first word is spoken, duh. Um, so many further questions, your honor.
For some reason Richard Kelly didn't acknowledge that this man was spitting TRUTH like crazy FIRE, but "the real Donnie Darko" has a theory about that, too.
After sending my MESSAGE in October 2006, I waited patiently for seven months hoping that someone would contact me and no one did. I was indescribably disappointed and saddened beyond words. I was merely seeking acknowledgment and acceptance and I didn't receive either. I didn't understand what was motivating their silence but I believed that FEAR and the fact that "The Real Donnie Darko is both gay (bisexual actually) and HIV positive may have been the reasons why. I was just being honest and my intent was not to hurt anyone. I now realize that a lot of people got bent out of shape because of my honesty. My acknowledgment and acceptance will come from the humbly shed tears of those who'll read these words and who's lives will change for the better for having done so!
Richard Kelly was just scared because the real Donnie Darko is gay (bisexual activity). It has nothing to do with the fact that he's TOTALLY NUTS, and ALSO CRAZY. Anyway, if the real Donnie Darko's mission was to have someone's life change for the better by reading his words, then he has succeeded, because my life has totally changed. I'm staying the fuck away from the internet.

is it possible this is at all related to the sequel? or was that a hoax? i've completely lost track.

Kelly should fess up to this so he can blame somebody else for that disaster of a movie.

I'm really hoping that this is viral marketing at its best (worst).
