It seems like their front page does, but I could just be going out on a far fetched theory here.

Panther is being release on the 24th of Oct, one of the days in Donnie Darko. Also, their countdown timer is exact like Donnie Darkos was for when the world was going to end: days:hours:min:sec. But while ending in one parallel universe, another started, so maybe this shows Panther is beign reborn or something?

Just a far fetched thought....

I actually thought of Donnie Darko when I saw the countdown too, but didn't notice the Oct. 24 date thing. I think we all need a drink!

yay, a good enough reason I think, now, has anyone worked out who did what in the film memento?

Hi I'm Ben · Oct 8, 2003, 04:17 PM

I don't think they're modeling their website after a B movie.

MacManMikeOSX · Oct 8, 2003, 04:21 PM

Donnie Darko was pretty cool.

Geobunny · Oct 8, 2003, 04:27 PM

Can I join you? We could have one almighty international piss-up!

I didn't see the Donnie Darko connection myself, but I get it now. Good film too - totally fcuked up though!

[Edit: In case you didn't quite get it, the list of smilies was a miniature storyline starting with alcohol...and ending in tears! ]

mitchell_pgh · Oct 8, 2003, 04:28 PM

The tangent universe will end on Oct. 24, at exactly 8:00pm!

OwlBoy · Oct 8, 2003, 04:34 PM

I would not call Donnie Darko a B movie

Frank says that you are correct.

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Dammit, that Sparkle Motion jab was damn funny too... We need our own Donnie Darko thread in the lounge.

Socially Awkward Solo · Oct 8, 2003, 08:22 PM

Lets hope so, that movie rocked.

Brien · Oct 8, 2003, 09:51 PM

Tubes floating in front of people, jet engines from the future... ahhh... awesome movie.... funny too.

Kenneth · Oct 8, 2003, 09:54 PM

don't think so.

Cool

Where in Glasgow? I'm currently living in Paisley (not Largs as my profile states), but will hopefully within the next month or so, move to Newmains near Motherwell...

That's my favorite quote from Darko. God, that lady! Talk about a spaz!

Yea same here. I hated that movie. But all who like it, go right ahead thinking Apple would copy that crap for their front page...

timmerk · Oct 9, 2003, 03:04 PM

only a dumbshit with an IQ of 100 would hate the movie, because they can't comprehend it

You honestly telling me you comprehended it?!

gorgonzola · Oct 9, 2003, 03:59 PM

They've done countdowns for other stuff, and days:hours:minutes:seconds is kind of standard for countdown timers...

I dunno about the other stuff, but that one seems like a REAL stretch.

Geobunny · Oct 9, 2003, 04:28 PM

I was mildly disappointed to see that if you change your date to 19:59 on 24/10/03 and let it count down to zero, it just starts counting upwards again.

I suppose it's deliberate and they'll almost certainly change it nearer the time, but still ...

Truepop · Oct 10, 2003, 01:29 AM

I too thought of Donnie Darko at the count down and love that movie.

<shameless plug>
In fact if you refresh my website enough www.truepop.com/index.php you will see the count down in the random quotes display in the top right corner.
</shameless plug>

But Oct 24 being one of the days is a reach too far.

kovacs · Oct 10, 2003, 04:00 AM

Aaarh, I hope not, worst movie ever !

Cincinnatus · Oct 10, 2003, 09:56 AM

Worse than "Hercules in New York", featuring our newest celebrity governor? Worse than "Blind Fury" with Rutger Hauer? Worse than "Over the Top" with Stalone? Worse than "Sidekicks" with Chuck Norris? Worse than ... well, you get the idea.
