10 out of fricking 10. I can't believe I waited so long to watch this, David Kelly is a genius but this great film bombed so hard he doesn't get artist privileges anymore and had to make "The Box" lol.
I mean it is an almost 3-hour long, strangely paced oddball comedy that it would be hard to recommend to most people but frick Society anyways.

Also frick You
it was supposed to be a comedy?
it's a unique movie that does a lot of things right, has some hilarious bits, but is overall a complete mess that is literally half a story. It is full of too much exposition that manages to tell you nothing and too many things that are seemingly random or pointless. You cant honestly think its a 10/10 unless you're like a teenager or in you're early 20s lmao, go watch more movies kid

Incredible taste anon, you successfully navigated the greatest filter of its decade. If you like Southland Tales check out the films of Alex Cox. His directorial style reminds me a lot of Kelly's

the triumvirate of representation
better soundtrack than DonnieDarko
Agreed
always been weirdly affected by the way Krysta Now stumbles a little on her way out
there's so many small moments like that in ST, I've read somewhere that the actors were given a lot of leeway with their characters, like that one "wanna frick or watch a movie?" cop peroxiding his hair blonde was apparently his own idea, same with Krysta having constant costume changes throughout
Same here anon, it also just fits with the music so well too, love that scene and the movie in general.
I didn't hear that about the actors but it makes sense. I unironically think it's the Rock's best ever role
>Pimps don't commit suicide
Looks moronic.
Your mom's moronic
What does that have to do with your shit taste in movies?
Isn't this the one that's a modern retelling of Old Testament or something along those lines? I remember it being pretty damn fun. Don't tell Cinemaphile Kevin Smith is in it, they won't give it a chance.
Perhaps the best work from both Dwayne Johnson and Seann William Scott.
best song/video combo
ashamed how long it took me to make the Marx/Von Westphalen connection
It's badly filmed/acted/edited but it brims with interesting Pynchonian antics. I saw the recently released Cannes cut which has more scenes. Apparently there's a graphic novel that makes it even easier to follow
>It's badly filmed
Are you high? Check the camerawork in
, it's fricking beautiful
It's an adventurous, somewhat lithe longtake but 1)cinematography's murky 2)blocking is a bit stiff and self-consciously displayed 3)extras don't seem natural.
>reaching and coping this hard
If you think Oppenheimer is filmed better I'll reach through the computer and punch your teeth down your throat
These are the essentials of proper filmmaking. If you're obfuscated by the surface aspects (in this case the longtake) that doesn't make the scene's flaws any less evident.
I haven't watched Oppenheimer but I'll give you the template for how these scenes should be shot:
Also this (check out how the extras are placed/directed and the sound editing):
Since you mentioned Nolan this isn't a longtake but it's also great cinema:
>muh proper filmmaking
>obfuscated
Didn't even need the rest of your post to know you're a try hard pseud that can't even use words properly. Stick to watching biopics and basic b***h shit homosexual, you'd get relentlessly filtered by someone like Damon Packard let alone being unable to into Kelly
Watch those scenes and educate yourself.
Also:

I've watched all those movies in their entirety moron, pretty much anyone who is even lightly into film has. Go back to Film 101 if you think that's the only way to film effectively. And like I said you'd get ruthlessly filtered by Damon Packard
>obfuscate - to make something less clear and harder to understand, especially intentionally
Makes absolutely no sense in the context in which you used it. Maybe you wanted to say I was distracted by the surface aspects or diverted, but the "surface aspects" did not make anything "harder to understand" inherently. Try again ESL
You sound a little flustered for someone who watched them all because you probably didn't pay enough attention and was unaware of aspects that make those scenes great and the one from Southland Tales uneven and inferior to them.
As for obfuscated, you were a victim thereof: the flashiness of the scene fooled you into not perceiving its flaws.
>the flashiness of the scene fooled you into not perceiving its flaws.
Not perceiving flaws due to distraction/diversion is different from something being actively less clear
I can recognize Goodfellas and Touch of Evil as masterpieces and still recognize Southland Tales as a masterpiece. The only thing that's foolish is to believe there are hard rules to art.
>The only thing that's foolish is to believe there are hard rules to art.
There are levels and enjoying them with a proper sense of measure and judiciousness is to be expected
>mentioning Nolan as a "template for how these scenes should be shot"
Just watch the scene and provide us with your insight on how it's not an example of a flawless sequence/set piece.
I have a love/hate relationship with this movie for similar reasons. It's poorly put together but such an oddly compelling film, for the same reasons. I also enjoy movies that don't explain much and leave it to the viewer to puzzle it together. A messy, overblown film but I also wish he could have made like 3 more movies like this. A fascinating disaster.
Cringe
it’s just shit
i give it a retry every year or so and it actually gets worse every time
>getting more and more filtered as you get older
Stick to watching biopics
>southland tales when it came out
"bro wtf? this shit is trippy"
>southland now, post clown world
"why the frick does this movie make perfect sense?"
ST was talking about the NSA way back in 2008, prophetic movie making at its best
the main criticism seems to be that it's ridiculous, life is ridiculous

In January 2021, Richard Kelly announced that developments are underway to expand the film into a franchise with intention being that the original cast return. The filmmaker explained that the original film is chapters 4-6, while a prequel project will explore chapters 1-3 with intentions being to do so through an animation medium; while additional projects can explore events that take place in 2024.[10] He stated that discussions are ongoing as to whether the projects should be released as films or in a long-form format through a streaming service.[46]
Which means he has scripts and no one has made an offer.
I remember finishing it in the theatre and not knowing if it was the best or the worst movie I had ever seen. The guy who made it made a couple other pieces of Kino (Donnie Darko which is overrated, The Box which is underrated, and Domino which was really cool at the time but doesn't hold up) then turned into a shitlib with severe TDS and vanished. Probably died from the vaccine. It's been like 15 years since he did anything.
>Donnie Darko which is overrated,
No it's not, studio/producer interference made it absolute 9.5/10 kino, the director's cut showed us it would not have been all that great otherwise.
WHEN WILL THEY RELEASE THE CANNES CUT?! REEEEEEEEE
It's already been released as I mentioned above
The Theatrical cut is complete ass
The Cannes cut is a masterpiece
I only saw this movie once, and the only thing I remember about it is it has CGI cars fricking like dogs out of nowhere.
OP is gay and wrong
this is the only southland I recognize
>LA cops being anything but incompetent shitbags
