Southland Tales

[Stefen]

Does he even want people to understand his movie? I bet he'll offer a sneak peek at volume 1 in some issue of Cosmo Girl. Cause he's like that.

That's a dumb idea and I'm laughing here.

they're not mandatory into understanding it, are they?

this part makes it seem like too much is weighing on them..

The comics lead directly into the film, which serves as the final act.

and truth is, if they are not necessary, then they are worthless. but if reading them will explain the movie to u, it's probably sumthing i'd read after the release of the movie. sorta like the director's cut of DD. and even then i'd still prefer the movie without the extra explanation.

Kevin Smith did this with Dogma... he had 4 issues of a Jay and Silent Bob comic that get them from the end of Mallrats, through Chasing Amy and into Dogma... yes, it was comedy so that's different, but this is probably the same kind of thing.

I just think it's a little backstory... like how you could watch the X-files movie having never seen the series, but the movie resolves things the series brings up.

I just don't think it's a big deal... neither brilliant nor annoying.

me three. i like the idea of the comic and film idea, as most filmmakers are inspired from reading comics when they were young, but to have a comic that gives needed puzzle pieces to unlock a cryptic film, too much work, and too much money for me pursue. i'm guess that each of the 100 page comics will prolly run around 19 dollars.

another film that has something to do with a comic seems more interesting, being released through WARP! films.

That can't be the real cast, can it?

Looks at imdb. OH GOD, IT IS!!!! WHY?!

[MacGuffin]

WHY?!

Go to Page 1 and read what roles they play.

[B.C. Long]

I read the roles they play and I'm still worried.

It's one thing to be billed as "The Rock" when the movie is "Doom" or "The Scorpion King"... but when it's a legitimate movie by a legitimate director, DON'T USE YOUR STUPID WRESTLING NAME!

from the new EW...

Also on [Janeane Garofolo's] slate: a supporting role in Southland Tales, director Richard Kelly's long-delayed follow-up to 2001's Donnie Darko.  "I play General Tina McArthur, and the movie is, in Dr. Stranglove-ian fashion, a comment on the military-industrial newstainment comlpex." Come again? "To try and explain to you, it would be like me trying to explain Donnie Darko.  I don't know how."

[Pozer]

heh, Southland Tales.  More like BOREland Tales.  Heh-heh... right guys?

[matt35mm]

but when it's a legitimate movie by a legitimate director...

Well, that's arguable.

Just because you don't agree with it doesn't necessarily make it arguable.  You might be wildly off-base and not even realize it!
