DONNIE DARKO-Okay, I watched it year's ago, but I came across a director'!


Question: both versions-if so, how SPECIFICALLY are the two different? Can you give some examples and is it worth seeing the director's cut or is it not that different from the one that was cut?

From Wiki:
The opening-scene song was changed from Echo and the Bunnymen's "The Killing Moon" to INXS's "Never Tear Us Apart". The INXS song was the intended original number. "The Killing Moon" later replaces "Under the Milky Way" by The Church during the party scene, although it's a remixed version of the song. "Under The Milky Way" now plays on the radio in the car scene with Donnie and his father.
In the original cut, when Donnie walks into the kitchen at the end of the first scene, the opening music fades and the "The Killing Moon" is playing on a radio in the kitchen. Yet this is not so for "Never Tear Us Apart" in the Director's Cut.
Donnie follows a transparent "sphere" while watching the football game; the sphere does not form a finger and beckon him, as in the original.
Donnie's psychiatrist informs him that his pills are placebos, and tells him that he is an agnostic, and not an atheist as he thinks.
The Holiday Inn scene is longer.
The scene with Cunningham in the school is longer. Cunningham goes through the kids' problems in greater detail
Several scenes in Ms. Pomeroy's classroom are re-inserted: Donnie reading his own poetry about Frank in class, the teacher announcing the banning of Graham Greene's The Destructors and its replacement with Watership Down, and the class later watching the animated adaptation of Watership Down.
Frank does not apologize in the theater during The Evil Dead.
Karen Pomeroy's firing is shorter, while the scene in which Donnie asks her about the words "cellar door" is longer and contains almost entirely different dialogues.
Various transition scenes show chapter excerpts from Roberta Sparrow's The Philosophy of Time Travel.
There is more of Donnie and Gretchen, including an arcade scene with Donnie playing the race-car game Outrun. In the game the car is red, as is human Frank's car.
In a new scene, Donnie's mother and father are eating dinner in a restaurant as they discuss Donnie's situation.
Donnie and Elizabeth are shown carving jack-o-lanterns. Donnie carves his into the shape of Frank's mask. In the original version, this lantern is still present on the kitchen bench but is not seen being carved.
The shot of Donnie's eyes bulging as his face enters the sphere at the Halloween party is removed.
A series of fireworks, clips from the animated film Watership Down, and shots from the Outrun video game are superimposed over the montage at the end of the film.
The scene in which Frank first wakes Donnie is longer.
Certain events first appear as images within Donnie's eye, described as deus ex machina by director Richard Kelly in the audio commentary for the Director's Cut. The first image of Frank flashes in Donnie's pupil as Frank wakes him; the second image is that of rushing water to represent the flooding of the school; and there is a shot of fire in Donnie's eyes before Frank tells him to burn Cunningham's house down (instead of a full-screen shot of Cunningham's house on fire). The eye appears every time Donnie is commanded to do a task.
Near the beginning of the movie, when Donnie's mom comes into his room, "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday is playing in the background.
The deleted scenes (included in the first DVD release) are hidden as easter eggs.
