oh this is cute ;) I'll have you know I have both Southland Tales and The Box on blu ray. I find them both to be well acted (with the exception of Sarah Michelle Gellar, she is truly useless) and thought provoking. great music too. some people can enjoy films as an "experience" and don't require conventional plots (like with EVERY film Chris Nolan did after Memento). I bet you would hate Eraserhead and El Topo too. anyway, you're pretentious. and your videos are absurdly boring. good day.

@Kethizzle I love Chris Nolan and David Lynch and calling me pretentious for not liking the MOST PRETENTIOUS MOVIE of all time means YOU need to read a dictionary. YOU have a nice day :)

honestly, Southland Tales is amazing. i watched it on Netflix and i give it a 9/10. the amount of detail is incredible. it's funny (intentionally, no accidentally). it is NOT necessary to read the graphic novel first. shit, Kelly had to read Revelations (probably the hardest book in the Bible to read) and managed to come up with symbolism for EVERYTHING (you just need to look closely). i'm going to BUY Southland Tales and The Box because Kelly is unique. PS there are no aliens in the Box.

@ImaginarySam you liked southland tales and think it's deep, you are fuck fuck shitty shitty, also way to be a misogynist!!!!! hope your eyes bleed and you shit from your fingertips

[ImaginarySam]

sorry, but i can't take you seriously.

you said basically if you don't have a big budget, your movie won't be as good as a movie with a big budget?

that is just straight up foolish.

Christopher Nolan made Following with like $6,000. great movie.

Memento was made with 9 million (pocket change for Steven Spielberg). amazing movie.

Michael Bay made Transformers 2 with 200 MILLION dollars (shitty movie)

see what i'm getting at?....

@ImaginarySam also I didn't say that, you don't even understand words properly

[Early2342]

Southland Tales is a symbolic, metaphorical masterpiece. It's a representation of American fear and politics (hence the insanity) Dont insult something you can't interpret you stupid naive bitch.

@imagesfromapoet

first of all, i am not a misogynist and none of my words imply that. and there's no need to try and be fancy. just say sexist. also i'd like to point out it is not and never will it ever be possible for one to shit from their fingertips. you're entitled to your opinion, but this video is not a review for any movie or an opinion, its you bashing on Richard Kelly. you try to sound sophisticated but really its just excessive whining. a 5 year old can make a video talking shit.

Don't attack things that you don't understand because you just sound ignorant.

@imagesfromapoet Southland Tales is trying many things but "deep"is not one of them. It's an absurd satire of American Culture in style of someone like Thomas Pynchon.

Donnie Darko is in my opinion the best. Better than Pulp Fiction or Requiem or anything. It doesn't make sense or contain everything you need to understand it completely but that doesn't matter to me because the sci-fi stuff is only 3% of it. It's so beautiful. I love the human sweetness of it. It's like an enchanted world. And the sountrack is amazing. That film connected with me, I love the way it made me feel. I also loved "Lost and Delirious" which absolutely ripped my guts out.

I didnt see the movie Southland Tales or The Box. They both look like peices of shit. I loved Donnie Darko and I think that everyone tried to force themeselves to like Southland Tales because they had the same director. I cant see why else you would like or watch a shitty movie like Southland Tales. I thought your video was great. Fuck all those haters who are dissing the video.

She's right, with all the resources this guy has available to him there's no excuse for all the CRAP movies he's been delivering to the public. He either needs his film making membership revoked or be banished to a non inhabited island where only he can watch the CRAP he makes. If you must watch his films, find a way to do it for free and use the money you would have spent on a hamburger instead. People shouldn't be paid to make a piece of CRAP every couple of years.

I also didn't care for/disliked the Box. It was fantastically contrived and not in a good way. I really don't see how someone pushing a button can lead to a random wife DECIDING to shoot their husband. It makes no sense.

I couldn't get through Southland Tales. I know there's clever commentary he's inserting into it but I just don't care to find it out.

Favorite movies: Leon the Professional. Donnie Darko. Mulholland Drive. Audition. Memento Mori(<---very flawed but there's redeeming factors).
