@moonage: Don't put it off or else you'll never see it. Phil: Yeah, his musical sequence was really great in a weird way.

I was just wondering if you were ever confused at all, plot-wise, wanted to see how much of a difference the novels really made. the novels explained everything... i didnt really like this movie though. i liked the last part though and the Pixies scene. Frank posters everywhere....

saw it first time last night; enjoyed it.
overall much impressed w/Richard Kelly's ambitions, however awkwardly he expresses them here. there are such layers and overlaps, so many ideas, haven't sorted through them yet.
still, i thought a decent film, unfairly savaged by "the critics". does tend to trip over itself a bit, so much packed into it and a few characters/scenes perhaps extraneous, but i'd rather fend off an overwhelming banquet than starve before a bare cupboard...
looking forward to more from Mr. Kelly, obviously a highly creative, intelligent filmmaker w/good sense of humor. he's really very sharp w/all those sly references to movies, literature, & pop culture ("Flow my tears" the policeman said, indeed!).
far from a flop, i think Southland Tales will be looked back on as a stepping stone/learning experience toward greater work.

yeah i agree with you there. he has such a creative mind he just doesnt really organize it into a largely sensible idea... i bought the DVD yesterday im going to watch it alot so i can gather my own theory
