You're missing my point. I didn't mean it *should* be done that way, I meant it *can* be done that way because the frame of reference is clear.

As for your examples, I think they prove my point. The Christmas Vacation scene uses tons of angles and moving camera, so you need the 180 degree rule. The American History X example is extremely simple with almost all the shots concerning the father and son who are sitting at an angle to each other, so the rule applies. And the Donnie Darko scene is actually a little confusing because they break the rule with the mom and son, and they are sitting at an angle to each other.

Plenty of examples where eyelines aren't broken at a rectangle table.

You know? I just may. Maybe a matinée on a weekday.

The kids drive me crazy, and I always seem to sit in a litter of 'em.

I also get spacey sometimes, and really like to use the rewind button.

Cheers

You may want to see this one in the theaters -- the visuals alone are totally worth it.

I freely admit, that I'm not going to watch anything about Inception until it finally falls into my DVD queue.

Donnie Darko, I treated the same way, and was very pleasantly surprised.

Reminds me of Donnie Darko's time tunnels.

Really? For me it was the Donnie Darko-esque LSD bunny.

Oh gosh darnit, that host is just so sincere and soft-spoken in that sickly sweet Jim Cunningham way. 10 bucks says this guy has a kiddie porn dungeon at home, too.

Reminds me of Donnie Darko

Or passing through a time hole and hitting donnie darko!
