What's "Southland Tales" About?

It's about America going overboard on the whole independence day thing. (A jumping jamboree? Really?)
Example

It's about explaining the back story with story boards.
Example

It's about midgets for no reason. (I was waiting for at least one reason)
Example

It's about fingers (gotta keep 'em on ice)
Example

It's about those really cool guns that can look around corners and shoot people, you know the ones, those are awesome.
Example

It's about having midgets on your SWAT team.
Example

No explanation needed. (I missed the SWAT midget the first time around)
Example

It's about questioning what death is worse, getting killed on a normal toilet.....
Example

or getting killed on an over sized gag one.
Example

It's about more toilets apparently. (Take a good look at some of them)
Example

It's about two SUV's.....ugh..."refueling".
Example

It's about Cockchuggin' (The Rock's "May I... see the cockchuggers?" is the best line in the movie)
Example

It's about Kevin Smith playing an old man who sounds and talks just like a 37 year old Kevin Smith.
Example

It's about needing a hand (get it... cause... yeah)
Example

It's about a guy who shows up more then half way into the film and we're expected to care.
Example

It's about Justin Timberlake lip syncing The Killer's song "All these things I've done" as girls show up and dance for him. (No, It really has nothing to do with anything.)
Example

It's about Bud Light? Nasty... and he's all Cockchuggin' it and everything. Gross.
Example

It's about this bitch. She has the most screen time and she's always smoking with her stupid hair and looking all gross.
Example

Yeah, toss that bitch.
Example

It's about going off some sweet jumps.
Example

It's about an interpretive dance off at the end of the movie for the heart of one of the second Jesususus. Just trust me on this one.
Example

It's about what getting shot in the eye will do to you.
Example

It's about the suicidal do-rag wearing white gangster with a rocket launcher standing on the side of an ice cream truck that's flying over LA.
Example

It's about being reminded about that scene from the first Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant starts to burn the swastika, I don't know, maybe Jesus just didn't like The Rock's shirt?
Example

It's about pretty much everyone getting killed.
Example

And then the movie ends with the white gangster jumping off the ice cream truck and two Stiflers shaking hands and ending the world.



Southland Tales is done by the same guy who did Donnie Darko (Richard Kelly) and if you've seen DD then you know the pros and cons of how Kelly tells a story (or maybe you don't)

Southland Tales wants to be watched again and again and I like watching a movie again and again, but it has to be good, is Southland Tales a good movie? well, after watching it twice I can say that it doesn't suck, its not shitty, I can dig it. I can't recommend it to anyone, but some people might enjoy it as well.

It's really just a dark odd ball comedy, It has its cheese, but its pretty well aware.

The movie uses issues like war, gun control, natural resource, celebrity and election as a backdrop for the story. (It's more like the issues are crammed into 2+ hours) The story doesn't hold anyone's hand and feels like it doesn't want you to know about it, I'm fine with that, but they could've done more when it came to the back story instead of pictures that look nothing like the characters in the movie. (Its just confusing)

I still don't understand the whole thing and interviews with the actors show that they don't ether. I was going to make a post on what I think the movie is about using pictures, but fuck it.

The sound track was pretty good.

I would spell check this, but I'm too busy.

You Should Be Reading Scott Pilgrim.

If not for me... Then for the future.

Cause its looking like a Scott Pilgrim movie is in the works and its staring that nervous guy from Superbad, Arrested Development and Juno.

Yes, thats right, Michael Cera, apparently all the ladies see him as some sort of sexy super nerd or something.

Not my type and in my opinion, not someone I see playing Scott Pilgrim.

Michael Cera is an actor, but the only role he ever seems to play is the sweetly awkward guy, so much so that I'm starting to think that is Michael Cera all the time.

I really think that Scott Pilgrim is a lot more out going then Michael Cera can act like, but I hope he proves me wrong.

Well its time to get super lazy and post someone else's work. (so just like all my posts)

(It's the comic that was made for 2006's Free Comic Day)

What's "I Am legend" About?

It's about bad Computer-Generated(CG) lions looking at you as if to say "too late human! You lose!"
Example


It's about a movie you would rather be watching.
Example

It's about showing off how fit Will Smith is....we are all proud of him.
Example


It's about using CG rats when you should've just poked a real rat till it got all super crazy zombie vampire.
Example

It's about working on the golf swing when you should be working on the marksmanship.
Example

It's about not wanting the dog, but taking the dog anyway.
Example

It's about being taken out of the movie by the awful looking CG monsters (Oh no. So scary. Look out.)
Example

It's about using awful CGI instead of a real live person. (or maybe they are and it's just bad CGI make up! hmmmmm)


It's about how frank moved...
Example

SEE! I'm not crazy!
Example

It's about giving Frank the pointing of a life time.
Example

It's about how you worked on the golf swing when you should've been working on the marksmanship.
Example

It's about forgetting the whole gravity issue.
Example

It's about fake looking zombie dogs from Resident Evil.
Example

It's about caring more about a dog then any human character in a movie ever.
Example

It's about not being able to figure out if the dog is just good at acting or she's just CG in this shot. (My money is on the acting)
Example

It's about taking care of yo teef kids.
Example

It's abou- OH SHIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!
Example

It's about breaking your best friend's neck.
Example

It's about being thankful they didn't have a scene where he fucks the mannequin.
Example

It's about missing the shot of his family the first time.
Example


It's about waking up to find a bunch of white foke in your house.
Example

It's about how he was saving that fucking bacon for later!
Example

It's about Will Smith showing us that he can also be funny (Who knew?)
Example

It's about the main super zombie guy looking at you as if to say "I'm going to break this glass ha ha faggot"
Example

It's about two endings, the one they used and the one they didn't. Each one changes what the movie is about and I think everyone will have different opinions on which one is better.

Example

Will Smith and Abbey the dog make this movie worth watching. I always enjoy the "last man alive" idea and seeing New York without people is always nice. The thing that really brings the movie down is the terrible looking CG monsters, dogs, rats etc. The whole basement scene looks like Will Smith is in a video game and you start to lose interest in the movie every time any of these CG things pop up.

(Hey! This movie comes out on DVD today, how odd)
