Now I'm no Negative Nancy but... by George Newman	Jul 28th, 2007 01:02:31 AM
I remember many were psyched about it, then it had a really bad reception at that festival, and all the excitement was sucked out of the room. Still interested I guess
Comic Con is by strangernparadis	Jul 28th, 2007 01:06:28 AM
becoming less COMIC and just CON after CON. with the "exclusives", the "Sneak peeks" and the "teasers". its just all hype and no substance> I am actually glad I didn't go

Fuck Fred Claus... by El Fuego	Jul 28th, 2007 01:14:03 AM
This is what I'll be lining up for that weekend... presuming the relase date holds and they actually launch it wide, two things I HIGHLY doubt.
Read all 3 Southland Tales GNs by Kusoyaro	Jul 28th, 2007 01:19:56 AM
The first one had lots of promise. The second one just degenerated into nonsense. Couldn't finish the third one. I just...I want to give this the benefit of the doubt, but I don't know...
Also, I don't know how much of "unveiling" that is by Kusoyaro	Jul 28th, 2007 01:27:39 AM
Considering that exact image is printed inside the prequel graphic novels, which were released many months ago (granted, I could only find them in a remote corner of a bookstore after months of searching). So maybe it is a big reveal after all.
And let it be said by Kusoyaro	Jul 28th, 2007 01:33:42 AM
I am a huge fan of Donnie Darko, and I was unbelievably excited when that Southland Tales website first launched. But from what I've read of the graphic novels....:/
Forgot about it. by mmadison	Jul 28th, 2007 01:48:44 AM
Was wondering what happened with this film. It should be pretty cool. http://tinyurl.com/2pn677
instead of saying "The End Is Nigh".... by Boomers_Lips	Jul 28th, 2007 02:13:42 AM

The Run Down by Phategod1	Jul 28th, 2007 03:29:01 AM
PT II?
Since when... by whoisthisguy	Jul 28th, 2007 03:29:05 AM
Does anyone give a fuck what french idoiots think? This is a movie about LA and there is no way those fuckers are going to say anything good about it. I'll give Kelly the benefit of the doubt since I love Donnie Darko and think his script for Domino were great. I'd rather watch a film that takes an original risk than the same shit being done over and over again. I liked Sunshine more than any other film this summer just because it had some original ideas. I'll let you fanboys suck each others dick over the next adapted from and or based on superhero movie that will be made and will be horrible. FINALLY...
Exactly the same as the one from the novels ! by barnaby jones	Jul 28th, 2007 04:23:24 AM
If you haven't read them by the way, DO IT, they're awesome.
Huge fan of Donnie Darko by elohel	Jul 28th, 2007 05:32:08 AM
but I haven't been too excited with the stuff I'm hearing about this. I'll give it a watch, nonetheless.
Despite the bad word on this film I'm still... by rbatty024	Jul 28th, 2007 05:59:21 AM
really interested in seeing it. After Donnie Darko I'm willing to trust Kelly.
I'm hoping for a glorious Zardozesque trainwreck by Demosthenes2	Jul 28th, 2007 06:16:20 AM
and if I get better than that, well then cut off my legs and call me Shawtee. And WOW that poster's like the other promo art I've seen, just SHINIER!

Donnie Dareko was pretentious wank! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 28th, 2007 06:22:39 AM
Big ideas lite. Ok it looked good, but its big idea (the time travel) was just a joke. If he cant get basic sci-fi staples right, then I have no hope for this. Wsspecially after the original reviews from Cannes. Is this movie able to be salvaged into something watchable?
french critics by gruntman	Jul 28th, 2007 08:59:57 AM
The funny thing is, Liberation, one of our biggest "intellectual" newspapers (yeah, btw, i'm french) had The Rock on its front page, and a 3 pages über-positive paper on the movie... I don't know where this "french critics panned it" when in fact, in France, most critics found the movie interesting, if a little too heavyhanded, mostly because of the length of the initial cut. The fact is, it's mostly the american critics in Cannes that wrote negative reviews at the time...
re: gruntman by Fawst	Jul 28th, 2007 09:20:48 AM
I think the proper reaction by the Talkbackers here should be "pwned." :)
I have high hopes for RK by MatDGZ	Jul 28th, 2007 01:50:53 PM
even knowing about the giant pan the french hit this flick with. But this poster...Anyone remember 'Point Horror'? It totally looks like one of the covers from a PH book! I hope the flick is better...
Zardozesque trainwreck? I'm insulted, sir! by Zardoz	Jul 28th, 2007 02:22:42 PM
Naah, not really! I love the original version of Donnie Darko, not the director's cut, so I hope Southland Tales is good, but we'll see...
Ah, shot down with reasoned debate! You win, sir! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 29th, 2007 07:59:32 AM
I am bested by your steely intellect. I can see by your debating powers that Darko really tested your brain. You do right to defend it from me! Well done President Evil
That poster looks really shoddy. by WYLD STALLYNS RULES	Jul 29th, 2007 10:02:58 AM
Like some geek who heard the title, names of the stars, and that it was "post-apocalyptic" made their own graphic a year before the release. Complete with a whole variety of Word fonts! Huzzah!
They should fire the designer by leolo	Jul 29th, 2007 02:30:50 PM
I don't know nothing about this (except that it blasted im cannes), and i dig a lot Donnie Darko. But I can say the banner (specially, not only, SPECIALLY the caligraphy logo is awful, it looks as a cgi from the early 90's
Neil MUTHAFUCKIN' Marshal! by Spandau Belly	Jul 29th, 2007 03:34:00 PM
Oh yeah! This guys is awesome! Bring on anything this guy does. Fuck, get him to make Predator 3!
why doesn't everybody... by raquin	Jul 30th, 2007 12:25:52 PM
just stop tyalking shit and go to the website? this movie obviously comes from a great director just watch the damn movie and stop talking shit before it even hits...
The poster by Vi	Jul 30th, 2007 05:00:11 PM
Is an image of the United States, but with each county given colors based on how they voted in the 2004 election. Blue for Dem, Red for Rep. Purple for in between. The image is then distorted in Photoshop. Yep.
