Tears for Fears stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night to perform “The Girl That I Call Home,” one of the new songs included on their recent live album Songs for a Nervous Planet.

With their live band and backing vocalists in tow, Tears for Fears gave a wistful performance of “The Girl That I Call Home.” Roland Orzabal, who wrote the song about his wife, took the lead through the song’s delicate verses, and was joined in a high harmony by his bandmate Curt Smith in the chorus. Watch the band’s performance below.

Tears for Fears shared the live album Songs for a Nervous Planet, which featured “The Girl That I Call Home,” “Astronaut,” and two other new originals, on October 25th. The album arrived with an accompanying concert film that was screened in theaters around the world the weekend of release.

Tears for Fears are back with “Astronaut,” the latest new song off their upcoming live album Songs for a Nervous Planet.

“Astronaut” features some sublime, reverb-ridden falsetto from Roland Orzabal and takes a majestic, glammy turn in the chorus. “I wanna be an astronaut,” Orzabal sings with harmonies surrounding him. “Emotionally it’s about this guy who doesn’t feel he belongs here and wants to be an astronaut floating out into space… a lot of people identify with the emotion of that song, that sense of alienation,” said the band’s Curt Smith in a statement.

The song came together during the sessions for Tears for Fears’ 2022 album, The Tipping Point. “Once we realized that we were going to end up doing more than just one new track for this album, Roland sent me the original recording of “Astronaut” and I had forgotten...

New Wave heroes Tears for Fears have announced their first-ever live album, Songs for a Nervous Planet, out everywhere on October 25th. In addition to live classics recorded during the band’s recent tour, there are four new original tracks on Songs for a Nervous Planet, including today’s teaser track, “The Girl That I Call Home.” Pre-order the album here.

Songs for a Nervous Planet is comprised of 22 tracks, with the four new studio cuts kicking off the album. The rest of the live album follows the career-spanning setlist of Tears for Fears’ “Tipping Point Tour Part II,” with the recordings coming from a July 11th, 2023 show at FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee. In addition to several cuts from the band’s 2022 album The Tipping Point, Songs for a Nervous Planet features live performances of several Tears for Fears classics like “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Mad World,...

Pineapples became a staple in Psych thanks to an improvised line by James Roday in the pilot episode. Fans loved searching for pineapples in nearly every episode of Psych, making it a recurring and fun gag. How I Met Your Mother also used pineapples as a running joke, but not as frequently as Psych.

Psych had a reputation of having a humorous obsession with pineapples, but many fans have wondered why. The tropical fruit made multiple appearances throughout the USA series, and the show's attachment to pineapples even extended to promotional photos of the cast, comic con conventions, and merchandise. Through its eight-season run, Psych made use of a number of recurring jokes and gags. These included Shaun's long list of fake nicknames for Gus (Dul Hill), references to popular movies from the 1980s, Gus' "Magic Head" moniker that originated in a season 1 episode, and many more.

Among the...

Tears For Fears are returning for another slate of shows in support of their latest album, The Turning Point, released last year as their first full-length record in 17 years. The Tipping Point Tour wrapped in New York on June 25, but the newly-announced The Tipping Point Tour Part II will pick up more or less where they left off, in New Jersey on June 23.

Cold War Kids will join Tears For Fears on the new set of North American tour dates. The tour’s second leg is scheduled to begin on June 23 and conclude on Aug.

Tears for Fears will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut album, The Hurting, with a new reissue. Out May 12th, it will be available as a half-speed vinyl remaster and a newly created Dolby Atmos mix.

The half-speed remaster was done at Abbey Road Studios by audio engineer Miles Showell. Meanwhile, the new Atmos mix was created by Steven Wilson, who previously remixed the Tear for Fears albums Songs from the Big Chair, The Seeds of Love, and The Tipping Point into spatial audio formats.

Pre-orders are ongoing. The Dolby Atmos mix will be released as part of a limited edition Blu-ray disc exclusively available via SuperDeluxeEdition also featuring two previously unheard tracks, a 5.1 mix, an instrumental mix, and the original album master.

The Hurting was released on March 7th, 1983, and topped the UK albums chart. It spawned three classic Top 5 hits: “Mad World,” “Change,” and “Pale Shelter.” Written...

"Donnie Darko," the 2001 Richard Kelly-directed mind-bender of a movie about time travel, death, and the dreadfully existential experience that is high school is memorable for many reasons. Today, if you so much as mention the cult film, images of Frank the rabbit and his shot-out eye immediately come to mind. Frank is the stuff of nightmares, enhancing the movie's atmosphere with his mysterious and ominous presence in the title character's life. However, Frank's creepiness is only one part — albeit a big one — of the film's peculiarities, none of which would be anywhere near as effective if it weren't for one major thing: the music.

The score for "Donnie Darko" is perhaps just as memorable as Frank, that pesky jet engine, the incredible finale, and that one uncomfortable scene in Donnie's (Jake Gyllenhaal) therapist's office. It is the thing that sets the tone for the entire movie, kicking things off...

The soundtrack to "Donnie Darko" is among my all-time favorite movie soundtracks, and I'm surely not alone in this. Not only is the score by Michael Andrews hauntingly beautiful, but the licensed songs played throughout are New Wave gems. Seriously, what other movie soundtrack has The Church, Oingo Boingo, and Joy Division on it?

However, the most memorable inclusion on the "Donnie Darko" soundtrack had to be not one, but two songs from English pop duo Tears for Fears -- one was the famous Andrews and Gary Jules cover of "Mad World," while the other was the studio version of "Head Over Heels." It's hard to separate either song from the film anymore, and the way they are both integrated into the film shows how carefully constructed each element of Richard Kelly's movie is.

That being said, both the "Mad World" cover and "Head Over Heels" could have easily...

Kevin Bacon joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show for a segment called “First Drafts of Rock,” which saw the pair performing an alternate version of Tears for Fears’ 1985 song “Head Over Heels.”

Standing in for Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, complete with ’80s haircuts, Bacon and Fallon showcased the supposed “first draft” of the New Wave song. While the original tune opens with “I wanted to be with you alone / and talk about the weather,” this version takes the discussion of the weather to the next level.

“Got a...

It’s all a game. On Thursday, Tears for Fears released the music video for their single “Break the Man” — and it follows identical, black suit-sporting men as they go about their lives mindlessly walking through a labyrinth.

“No more wondering what happens now/No more holding your feet to the fire/When everything is running down/No more pain,” the duo sings on the track as the video becomes a kaleidoscope of dystopia.

By the end of the video, each man reaches the top of a ledge and jumps off to their seeming demise.

Even after eight seasons and three movies, Psych still finds ways to surprise viewers everywhere with its zany storylines and incredible casting choices. Psych 3: This Is Gus, the latest film released on the Peacock streaming service, continues this trend with some of the franchise's most bizarre adventures and perfect guest casting from top to bottom.

The film introduced new memorable characters, like Selene's duplicitous husband Alan Decker, and also brought back franchise favorites like Father Westley and Curt Smith. Even though the film may have had a slimmer guest cast than previous films, likely due to filming protocols and restrictions, Psych 3: This Is Gus still delivers some of Psych's best guest actors to date.

The following spoils the “bonus scene” at the end of the Peacock movie Psych 3: This Is Gus.

A running joke in the threequel involves Gus (played by Dule Hill) trying to get Tears for Fears co-founder Curt Smith to play at his and Selene’s imminent wedding.

Tears for Fears have mapped out a 2022 U.S. tour in support of their first new album in 17 years, The Tipping Point.

“We couldn’t be more excited to start playing concerts again. We’ve missed seeing our friends on the road around the world and the energy of performing live,” Tears for Fears’ Curt Smith said in a statement; the band last toured the U.S. in 2018.

The monthlong amphitheater trek kicks off May 20th in Cincinnati, Ohio and circles the nation before concluding June 25th in Wantagh, New York.

Peacock has officially revealed the epic trailer and highly anticipated release date of Psych 3: This Is Gus at this year’s New York Comic-Con presentation over the weekend.

Peacock announced that “Psych 3: This is Gus” will premiere on Nov. 18.

A spinoff of the USA Network detective comedy “Psych” and a sequel to “Psych: The Movie” and “Psych 2: Lassie Come Home,” the new film will see fake-psychic detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday Rodriguez) and his friend and partner Burton “Gus” Guster (Dulé Hill) investigate the double life and estranged husband of Gus’ fiancée Selene (Jazmyn Simon). They work the case while preparing for Gus’ shotgun wedding and new baby, as Chief Charlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) grapples with the future of his career.

In a new trailer, which you can watch below, Shawn and Gus reprise their old bits and catchphrases — knocking on doors and using fake names to question people, working in costume and telling each other to “suck it.”

Tears for Fears have shared the previously unreleased “Rhythm of Life,” the first offering from their upcoming Seeds of Love box set.

The demo was recorded by frontman Roland Orzabal and keyboardist Nicky Holland in 1986, but the track didn’t make it onto the 1989 album. Instead, Orzabal gave it to singer Oleta Adams — who sings on the opening track “Woman in Chains” — for her 1990 album Circle of One, which he produced.

“Climbin’ every mountain, always killing time/Count the cost as days go by,” he sings over a steady groove.

Tears for Fears’ third album, 1989’s The Seeds of Love — which contained the hits “Sowing the Seeds of Love” and “Woman in Chains” — will be expanded into a five-disc box set this fall. The record was one of the band’s most ambitious studio outings, as it followed up their mega-selling Songs From the Big Chair — it reportedly cost more than £1 million to make.

The box set will feature the original album, remastered, singles and B-sides, alternate mixes, demos and outtakes. Twenty-two of the tracks are previously unreleased. There will...

As a TV series, Psych is like one of those frozen yogurt chains where the wall is ringed with different flavors and you can keep pulling levers for whatever combination you want. There are the Shawn/Gus episodes, the “Shawn’s psychic lie is threatened” episodes, the increasingly genius and lovingly rendered (often ‘80s-tastic) tributes, and the ensemble classics where the whole cast is just a well-oiled machine after years of riffing off one another. You can have whatever flavor you want. And don’t even get me started on toppings.

Over its eight-year run, Psych interrogated its own premise, built out its supporting cast, let its characters play their favorite movie characters, and adapted its own internal mythology into trilogies that would make any movie-buff weep with appreciation. Here is a baker’s dozen of the most giggle-worthy, self-referential, surprisingly dramatic episodes of Psych.

Halloween will arrive early this Thursday night in Los Angeles, as Scream Factory will screen their cannibal horror comedy, Gravy, at the Laemmle theater in North Hollywood, followed by a special cast and crew Q&A moderated by Daily Dead's Heather Wixson.

Beginning after the 9:55pm screening of Gravy, the Q&A will include director James Roday, producer/writer Todd Harthan, actors Jimmi Simpson, Gabriel Luna, Molly Ephraim, Ethan Sandler, and composer Curt Smith:

Stick around...

The folks at Shout! Factory have acquired North American rights to the Halloween horror comedy Gravy.

Press Release: "Los Angeles, Calif. (June 22, 2015) – Shout! Factory, a leading multi-platform entertainment company, has acquired North American rights to the unhinged horror comedy Gravy directed by actor-writer-producer-director James Roday. The announcement was made today by Shout! Factory’s founders Richard Foos, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos, and the film’s director James Roday.

In this picture deal, Shout! Factory has secured exclusive distribution rights to Gravy, including digital, home entertainment, broadcast and theatrical for cross-platform releases in the U.S. and Canada. Shout! Factory plans a strategic rollout of the movie on a variety of entertainment distribution platforms and in all packaged media through its horror entertainment brand Scream Factory™.

“James Roday has made a wonderfully demented blend of horror and comedy that fits perfectly into our Scream Factory family. The substantial talent behind...

Is it a coincidence that March 19′s penultimate episode of USA’s Psych — the last one star James Roday will ever direct — features his co-star Dulé Hill (Gus) running and screaming for most it? “No it is not,” Roday says. “It’s been one of the great joys of my experience on Psych, and I know our fans are equally as fond of watching Gus being in peril and trying to scream his way out of it.”

In the episode, “A Nightmare on State Street,” Gus visits a dream therapist (guest star Bruce Campbell) to help determine the true fear behind his terrifying nightmares.

After Psych went to its fans to choose what the plot of the Season 8 finale should be, the online poll led to the choice of the James Roday penned “A Nightmare on State Street,” an episode described as “a new vision in terror.” Just how scary it is remains to be seen, but it won’t be without a little romance. Bunheads alum Sutton Foster was cast in the finale, joining an already sizable group of guest stars. The only thing we don’t really know about her character is whether or not she’s even real or just a part of Gus’ subconscious.

The finale will see a sleep-deprived Gus going for dream therapy in order to get to the bottom of the night terrors he’s been having. But things don’t go as planned and Gus soon finds that nothing is as it seems after he leaves his session.

Get ready to mix some "Bunheads" in with your psychic detectives, "Psych" fans. TV Line is reporting that Sutton Foster, two-time Tony Award winner and former star of the ABC Family drama "Bunheads," will be dropping by the Season 8 finale, which was voted upon by fans.

The winning plotline is a take off on "Nightmare on Elm Street" and features Foster as a middle school teacher who might be having a little something-something with the gym teacher (Billy Zabka). Other guest stars include WWE's Bella Twins, Brie and Nikki, Tears for Fears frontman Curt Smith, Bruce Campbell and Phylicia Rashad reprising her role as Gus' mom.

The "Nightmare on State Street" finale will feature Gus undergoing dream therapy to get to the bottom of his recent night terrors. We fully expect a spookfest, if the "Friday the 13th" and "The Shining" send-ups were any indication.

"Psych" returns for Season 8 in...

Former Bunhead Sutton Foster will let her hair down — and scare up some fun — in Psych‘s nightmare-ish Season 8 finale.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Foster has landed a role in the USA Network comedy’s James Roday-penned installment, titled on “A Nightmare on State Street.”

Described as “a new vision in terror,” the episode — the storyline of which was decided upon by fans via an online poll — follows a sleep-deprived Gus into dream therapy as he attempts to get to the bottom of recent night terrors. After his treatment, however, nothing is what it seems, and he soon learns that “in dreams,...

Psych Season 7 was jam-packed with all the shenanigans, malarkey and tom-foolery you would expect from USA Network's longest running original show, which celebrated its 100th episode this season this year.

So while we wait for the Psych musical to air this December, let's take a look back at what made this season so epic in our latest TV Fanatic Report Card...

Best Episode: "Juliet Takes A Luvah" because Shawn could not seem to catch a break the entire episode and it was. Hilarious to watch. The shenanigans of "Office Space" made that episode a close second

Best Homage: "100 Clues" to celebrate the 100th episode. Complete with alternate endings voted on live by the fans, this episode had everything that makes Psych great, including a cameo from Curt Smith. May he rest in peace... just kidding.

Best Gus Nickname: Blue Ivy Carter. I'm sorry. It was the best pop-culture reference the show made this season.

For its 100th episode, "Psych" did a spoof of the 1985 cult classic film "Clue." They even tapped three of the actors from that madcap mystery to guest star, though in new roles. Christopher Lloyd, Lesley Ann Warren and Martin Mull reunited on the screen, joined by Garrett Morris, Curt Smith and Steve Valentine. But this time it was Shawn who figured out who did it.

Actually, it was the viewing audience at home who got to pick which ending they wanted to see. There were five suspects and separate votes held for the East and West coast airings. On the East Coast, it was Garrett Morris' butler character. The band had apparently been stealing his music for years -- he had a mean whistle -- and he was fed up with it.

The West Coast went with a "Clue" alum, voting for the author played by Christopher Lloyd. But TV.

We didn’t need "100 Clues" to tell us that Psych is a rock star of a USA Network original. But we did need this episode to give us one more reason to love this series.

In true Psych fashion, fans were treated to both a tribute to Clue And a tribute to all the things that make an episode so memorable: murder, mystery and guest stars.

I suppose the sillyness began with Shawn and Gus in those ridiculous rock star costumes. If there is one look that wasn’t mean for either of these men, it was tight pants, eyeliner and those claws Shawn had on his hands.

It has been a while since we’ve seen the pair don costumes, and now that I’ve witnessed these, I'm confident I can go several more episodes without seeing them in another one. It will take me long enough to expel...

Psych celebrates its 100th episode tonight. It's a Psych-centennial!

Psych celebrates its 100th episode tomorrow night.

And in honor of the occasion, we've gathered together a list of reasons why we adore this beloved USA Network hit, from Yin/Yang to - what else?!? - Gus/Shawn.

Read along below and jump in with your favorite moments from the first 99 episode of Psych...

The Yin/Yang trilogy. I have never been more on the edge of my seat during a cable television show, engrossed in the fate of its characters. The writing pair of Roday and Berman. The minds behind the Yin/Yang trilogy, these two really threw us for a loop with “Yang 3 in 2D.” I am still trying to figure out why you made Yin who he was as a person (not just that he was played by Peter Weller). They, too, really indulged the crazies on that one. Catchphrases like “Suck it,” “You know that’s...

New York -- From a bank of chairs in an NBC Universal control room, technician Antonella Caruso counted down as if she were anticipating a rocket booster's liftoff: "Nine, eight, seven, six ..."

It was a dress rehearsal for USA's plan to let viewers of "Psych" choose the ending of Wednesday's episode, celebrating the drama's 100th episode and culminating the network's two-year experiment at an exclusively fan-centered approach at marketing.

In the episode, Shawn (actor James Roday) and Gus (Dule Hill) try to solve a murder at a party hosted by an old rock star in a California mansion. There are five suspects: the groupie, the manager, the author, the host and, of course, the butler. During the show, the suspects are narrowed down to three and viewers are asked to vote on social media who they thought committed the crime. Three endings were filmed, each lasting three minutes, and the top vote-getter will be used.

From his lifelong career as a tap dancer to his roles on "Psych" and "The West Wing," Dule Hill never seems to have a dull moment.

Although his days of working with Aaron Sorkin are behind him (for now ... ), Hill has been starring on USA's "Psych" for seven seasons as Gus, Detective Shawn Spencer's (James Roday) straight-laced assistant. But he almost turned down the job.

In honor of the series' 100th episode right around the corner (airing Wed., Mar. 27 at 10 p.m. Et), the "Psych" team has teased a "Clue"-like episode in which viewers can weigh in on the ending.

Hill sat down with HuffPost TV on Tuesday morning to discuss "Psych," Gus, Aaron Sorkin and more.

Will Gus be one of the suspects 100th episode?

I can't give that up! You have some real investigative reporting going on. Here's what I'll tell you: Throughout the show, everyone is a suspect at some point.

It’s that time again Psych-Os. The seventh season of Psych kicks off tonight with the conclusion of last season’s cliffhanger. If there was any doubt about where we were headed last season, yes, Henry is in a very bad way, and the result leads to a very new perspective for Shawn.

While a lot of shows on cable networks, even some of the best, seem to struggle if they make past a handful of seasons, Psych is still going strong. Not simply, “as funny as ever,” but actually continuing to develop and grow, it’s pushing itself to new heights. The continuation of “Santa BarbaraTown” (or however they expect that to be written) is just the beginning. The season will also feature a 100th-episode spectacular that includes a reunion of some of the cast of Clue, and we will be seeing “Psych: The Musical.”

Also, don...

Wait for iiiiiit... No, seriously, "Psych" fans, you're going to have to wait just a bit longer for the return of our favorite comedy detective series starring the incomparable James Roday and Dule Hill.

"Psych's" seventh season will debut at 10 p.m. Et Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, the USA network announced Wednesday (Oct. 10).

As for the two-hour musical extravaganza, the network confirmed that "Psych: The Musical" will air in two parts. As we previously reported, guest stars Barry Bostwick, Brooke Lyons and Anthony Rapp will join the entire cast in performing original songs by "Psych" creator Steve Franks.

Psych returned to Comic-Con for the fourth time, proving the Psych-o fans just can't seem to get enough. This panel is known for keeping fans on their toes. Remember the time when Curt Smith, James Roday and Dule Hill performed Tears For Rears' "Shout"? Or last year when William Shatner made an appearance? It's no wonder why it made our list of must see TV Comic-Con panels this year. How will they top themselves?

Promising to be a panel full of interacting fun, exclusive clips and answers to fan questions lets get to it.

The first time moviegoers saw Lukas Haas was when he was the 9-year-old Amish boy in Witness, and ever since then we’ve watched him grow up.

The haunted little boy in Lady in White (1988), the alien-fighting teen in Mars Attacks! (1996), and the imperious drug kingpin known as The Pin in Brick (2005) are just a few of his memorable roles. But now he’s taking the lead in the new indie drama Meth Head, as a young man who falls into a Shame-like spiral after getting hooked on the stuff that makes even the most clean-cut souls break bad.

Check it out after the jump.

Best known for its outrageous homages to cultural icons, including fun references to films and television shows past, as Psych prepares for its sixth season, stars James Roday and Dule Hill chatted a bit “tongue in cheek” with the press in a recent conference call about to expect as the hysterical series about a fake psychic detective returns.

Could you talk a little about the upcoming Halloween, Indiana Jones, and Cuckoo’s Nest-inspired episodes?

James: Yes, we did in fact deliver on those other ones. Those are in the can. Those are fully produced and being mixed.

Dule: We also have a “Shining” episode this year too.

James: “Shining” is what you get in place of “Clue.” So we still felt like we should swing big. Halloween is the vampire episode. And I think it’s airing the week of Halloween.

Are there any special guest stars in the Halloween episode?...

Whether you’ve been using Twitter since 2006, are determined never to use it unless dragged kicking and screaming, or are somewhere in between, you probably know that it’s wildly popular with all sorts of people. In addition to the celebrities who make a big deal about Twitter (e.g., Ashton Kutcher), there are tons of people, both famous and not, who tweet about lots of interesting things.

We enjoyed a look into Shawn’s active imagination and found our beloved characters doing some pretty interesting things, if not shocking, things.

Henry was a disheveled mess who didn’t clean dishes and smelled “like Bigfoot.” Gus was married to Keisha Knight-Pulliam. Lassiter was the Chief of the police department/ Buzz was a detective and the real Chief was... well... I’m not really sure what she was, but Carlton sure was getting handsy.

You’ve probably already heard me say that Psych has let me down once or twice this season. It’s still easily one of my favorite shows, but a couple of episodes struck me as not quite being up to par. Last week’s episode delivered the goods, and tonight’s summer finale One, Maybe Two, Ways Out is among the best the series has produced.

With Nestor Carbonell returning, and Franke Potente guest-starring, things take a spy turn, and Shawn and Gus are knee-deep in a complicated situation they don’t really understand.

The action is turned up, Shawn can’t figure out who to trust, and the new man in Jules’ life isn’t helping him concentrate. Of course, he may be distracted by a couple of other 80′s guests, but this isn’t an episode that leaves him a lot of downtime to get his bearings. Shot at,...

The Tears for Fears singer, Curt Smith makes his first appearance on the USA Network series

In the 1980s, Curt Smith was one-half of the highly-successful pop duo Tears for Fears. These days, Smith is still performing his music and you'll be able to see and hear his work on tonight's Psych entitled Episode 5.08: Shawn 2.0, where he will appear as a guest-starring actor. You will also be able to hear his cover version of the Psych theme song as well. Smith recently held a conference call to discuss his involvement on Psych and here's what he had to say:

I want to know what can you tell us about the Tears for Fears version or the Curt Smith version of the Psych theme song. Obviously it's become a very popular theme song. It's a very fun theme song. How did you sort of want to reinterpret it?

Curt Smith...

I have to come right out and be honest, and tell you that, as huge a fan of Psych as I am, one or two episodes this season have let me down a bit. I’m not absolutely sure why that is, but I think that we have come to a point in the show where overplaying the general doubt in Spencer’s abilities is actually annoying.

Much like the oft-compared (even rather brilliantly within the show) The Mentalist, or something like House, after the first dozen or so times our heroes turn out to be right, it would be nice if the rest of the cast opened to the idea that they might be right.

Despite my misgivings about a couple of episodes, you don’t want to miss the next one. With not only Lost‘s Nestor Carbonell, but also Tears for Fears‘ Curt Smith appearing both in...

The duo were an MTV staple in the 1980s, with hits like “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Head Over Heels” and “Mad World.” The latter song was given a second life when it was covered by Gary Jules for the 2001 film “Donnie Darko.” The movie didn’t really pick up steam until it hit DVD, and the slow burn for the song was the same: Though it was released in 2002, it became a hit over a year later. Most recently, “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert performed the Jules version back in April. The video manages to capture the tone of “Donnie Darko” without including any shots of Jake Gyllenhaal.
