Dancing, dancing in the street / Way down in LA, everyday
Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko is that rare film which can induce nostalgia for the late 1980s when I was a teenager.

Kelly has a new project, Southland Tales, in pre-production. It's "a musical/comedy set in 2008 where a three-day heatwave in Los Angeles culminates in a huge Fourth of July party." The cast includes Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Lee, Janeane Garofalo, Ali Larter, Tim Blake Nelson, Amy Poehler, and Kevin Smith. It will either be genius or uncomfortably bad. I'd bank on the former.
