Donnie Darko director's new film, Southland Tales

After being premiered at Cannes, reportedly Richard Kelly's new film Southland Tales is getting universally critically panned.

Whedonesque wrote:(SPOILER) The Hollywood Reporter reviews 'Southland Tales'. Now that you've seen the pics of Sarah at Cannes, read the review of her new movie. Phrases like "the will to live is lost in the first reel" may give you a hint of what's in store. Cinemacentral.com is more damming in its assessment of the movie "failed ambitions and vain pretensions".

BBC News reporter reviews movie

"His first film Donnie Darko was complex, but child's play in comparison with this convoluted, disjointed, postmodern noodle soup of a movie."

I haven't seen Donnie Darko (will eventually), so I have no opinion. I'll judge this movie for myself - once it hits DVD.

Fuck, even Empire hated it and they're as mainstream and low brow as you can get (aside from Harry Knowles/AICN).

I love "Donnie Darko". Wonderful idea brought to film masterfully.

The R4 3 Disc is the best Eva. It contains everything ever released for DD (I think).

I know, but cheers anyway. It's native-PAL and has DTS on the DC as well. I'm probably most interested in the Kevin Smith commentary TBH, that man is fucking hilarious.

BTW I meant that I'll wait & judge Southland Tales when it hits DVD.

Most people think the TC is the better cut and the R4 (along with the Dutch R2) has DTS but no other release do.

I liked both cuts.

Southland Tales I cannot wait to see just for the cast alone, The Rock and Gellar together in porno land, strange sounding film

I couldnt care less what them critics say

I have been looking forward to it fr a long time, so no negative feedback will detur me.

Hell I will watch anything with The Rock in it. I even saw the piece of shit Be Cool! (Rock was great, the film was appauling).

Yeah, but what's the betting Gellar keeps her kit on?

I'd say there's only a 20% chance of baps, 10% chance of ass, 5% chance of bush.

Inner-labia?

-668%

No chance ever of seeing anything, ever.

She has done sex in films, but you see nothing at all, just lots of groaning and movement and bare arms. She did get jackhammered in one film mind you forget its name now, but she was clothed and on top in the woods.

Maybe when she is old and wrinkly I guess

Lets hope The Rock keeps his kit on

SMG in a movie oh I can't wait because she's such a talented actress and The Rock oh man he's sooo talented.

What's Jackhammered?

Bend over and I am sure someone will show you.

Blimey SMG took it up the ass. I can't imagine she'd do that in a film.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 May 2006, 19:05

I guess she tried to shake off her cute image in the film Harvard Man, but still we dont see anything

she just took her underwear off and had a dress on while on top, she had many sex scenes in the film. This film its quite a funny film too.

Which I am sure is more than she will do in Southland Tales as I am sure she will just look pornoey, not perform pornoey

Cannes is an odd place as they can ridicule films as thats the mentality of the mass press, one person laffs at something and they all laff along like copy cats and one person jeers and say something to the screen and they all do, thats a sad way to watch a film. Many films have been very bady recieved by them mass cannes press muppets and then later on once they calm down and watch it alone, the same reviewer loved it.

I couldnt think of anything worse than being in a crowd with muppets at cannes.

Hey, if you look at the pic of Gellar in Romero's avatar, do you think she's being jackhammered?

BAH, James Toback. I'd rather get jackhammered than sit through one his pretentious pieces of shit.

It's not uncommon that roughish cuts of independent film are shown at the major film festivals like Cannes and Sundance, maybe Kelly will go back and make a new cut of the film before wider release?

Zhang Ziyi keeps doing sex scenes without showing anything. It's most unfair. If only women in films dressed like they were men in a Chang Cheh film...

Hmmm. I think not. All I see is SMG being fucked from behind no anal sex.

You're not missing much, both Ziyi and SMG are lacking in the rack department.

He means a lot of the men in Chang Cheh films have bare torsos (or something?) so if only the women in films were like that

Thanks Grim.

Well Ziyi is Chinese so she has her nationality against her but is that the point?

As we're not talking porn I don't consider it a necessity, far from it.
