It's about explaining the back story with story boards.
It's about midgets for no reason. (I was waiting for at least one reason)
It's about fingers (gotta keep 'em on ice)
It's about those really cool guns that can look around corners and shoot people, you know the ones, those are awesome.
It's about having midgets on your SWAT team.
No explanation needed. (I missed the SWAT midget the first time around)
It's about questioning what death is worse, getting killed on a normal toilet.....
or getting killed on an over sized gag one.
It's about more toilets apparently. (Take a good look at some of them)
It's about two SUV's.....ugh..."refueling".
It's about Cockchuggin' (The Rock's "May I... see the cockchuggers?" is the best line in the movie)
It's about Kevin Smith playing an old man who sounds and talks just like a 37 year old Kevin Smith.
It's about needing a hand (get it... cause... yeah)
It's about a guy who shows up more then half way into the film and we're expected to care.
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.)
It's about Bud Light? Nasty... and he's all Cockchuggin' it and everything. Gross.
It's about this bitch. She has the most screen time and she's always smoking with her stupid hair and looking all gross.
Yeah, toss that bitch.
It's about going off some sweet jumps.
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.
It's about what getting shot in the eye will do to you.
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.
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?
It's about pretty much everyone getting killed.
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.
