I love this movie.

It's weird and confusing and sometimes feels like a parody clip from SNL or the MTV Movie Awards, just because of how many good actors were cast in small parts. But i find it funny, i like the music and i just enjoy it. I think it is bizarre on purpose, but Richard Kelly over-explained things...which made it harder to accept it's "weirdness," for lack of a better word. If he would have left some of the backstory ambiguous or unknown and shortened the movie by a half hour i really think it would have found a larger audience. Donnie Darko was weird in its own way, and left you bewildered in a GREAT way. I dont know if Southland Tales could've been on quite that level, but i think it wouldve achieved at least a better overall acceptance and wouldnt be the worst reviewed movie ever at Cannes or whatever it was. Anyway...didnt expect all that to come out
