    @@randomguy6679 see that's probably where we differ most integrally, I have no issue with the execution. I think Kelly did an admirable job executing his concept, I understood what he was putting down on first watch, but I was never invested in trying to figure out the plot itself. In my opinion, the plot of this movie is almost entirely insignificant. This is a movie about messy geopolitics and socioeconomic phenomena and a paranoid collective unconscious, the fact the plot is so indecipherable and convoluted reflects the feeling one would get trying to fully grasp the geopolitical landscape, parsing through layer upon layer of conflicting narratives until you feel like a fuckin schizo (kinda like Roland Taverner or Boxer Santaros). Despite the "bad execution" I still find a LOT to mull over in this film, which to me indicates Kelly executed exactly what he meant to, it just depends on how you choose to engage with it. The concepts are all there and they're all coherent pieces of a whole, you just have to understand what things Kelly really wants you to pay attention to, like the dance between Boxer and Krysta at the end, or the vice president never understanding what's going on, the image of sentries lining the boardwalk ready to "protect and serve", USident employees doing yoga stretches before a long day of civil rights violations, Pilot Abilene in his bloodstained tee jamming to The Killers before solemnly staring into the camera as he comes down from his drug binge, an auspicious blimp full of the richest most influential people on the planet leaving the rabble behind (Have a nice apocalypse!), a pornstar and the biggest actor in Hollywood penning a screenplay that details the end of the world, celebrity as the modern day saint or biblical figure. There's too much here to be written off because it doesn't adhere to arbitrary standards of how a movie "should" be executed.

    Southland Tales was a modern take on the Book of Revelations, which was a drug-fueled mess of a book. The Rock was the old Jesus (Jericho Cane), Sarah Michelle Geller was the Whore of Babylon, Sean Wallace was the Anti-Christ, Sean William Scott is the New Christ, etc. When Christopher Lambert rolls up in a white ice cream truck full of guns, you'd better believe he's Death on the Pale Horse. The movie was a mess, but so is the source material. It reminded me of when I first watched Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. I as so confused because I had no idea about Homer's Odyssey. But once I read that book, it all made sense. If you know about the Book of Revelations, I can't guarantee you'll like the movie any more than you do, but I'd bet the thing will make a LOT more sense. You have to imagine that someone in the past saw the future, barely understood it, and then wrote the Book of Revelations, and now it's happening.

    I really loved Midsommer and related to the themes of breaking up a toxic relationship as I just got out of a very intimate relationship, it's definitely one of my favorites of the year. I don't think you'll have to worry about Ari Aster making similar films like this because he actually wrote Hereditary and Midsommer back to back after breaking off a long term relationship. I'm super excited to see where his career goes to and hey I rather see something original that's inspired more than whatever Disney shits out.

    Southland Tales is great (at least the Cannes cut, I slept on it for a long time and never saw the theatrical cut, which sounds like a mess from everything I've read). The closest comparisons I can think of are William Klein's Mr. Freedom, Ken Russel's Liszt-O-Mania and Head (the Monkees movie). Years ago I read an interview with Dušan Makavejev where he talks about how with Sweet Movie, instead of making a didactic film that used conventional narrative and cinematic language to TELL the audience what to think, it works by introducng a concept and then making the audience physically feel the discomfort or confusion or disgust that he wants them to associate with that concept (he said it more eloquently though, or at least the translator did). Southland Tales is no Sweet Movie, but I do think it (maybe accidentally?) works in a similar way. If nothing else, if you lived through the first Bush term in the USA with any degree of critical awareness, Southland Tales captures the mood of those years better than any other movie I can think of. Anyway, after finally watching this a lot of the criticisms I've heard for years seem like listening to a piano instrumental and then saying it had bad lyrics. EDIT: also, in the Cannes cut at least, the narrative really isn't that convoluted.

    i adore southland tales, and it is precisely because it captures a moment in the collective unconscious so perfectly and plays with it within the artifice of film perfectly, it uses the medium the best it can to elevate it's premise and concept. which, simply put, is that it kinda felt like the world was ending in 2006 and in the early 2000's in general, so kelly took the prototypical End of the World tale (Revelations) and just applied it to the world of 2000's America, which was an absurd, greedy, late stage capitalist, neoliberal shitshow of resurging patriotic attitudes, growing division and intolerance, ignorance and fear in the wake of the worsening climate crisis, government overreach driving paranoia and unforeseen teen horniness. the movie is goofy and silly and dumb because if the world ended in 2008, it would be fucking goofy and silly and dumb. just look at the shit that happened 10 years later with trump and now we got this senile coot biden and right wingers are just off their rocker entirely to the point of pure absurdity and my god the neo-marxists are just the same thing as twitter leftists, kelly was in his fucking BAG when he made this shit! the story is messy because the SUBJECT is messy, the WORLD is messy. why should a film addressing these messy topics have to adhere to some clean style of storytelling? in general, this mindset when looking at films as something that has to cleanly and neatly explain itself in a digestible and profitable manner just holds the medium back from being what it can be, pure expression, ideas and abstractions of ideas made real just for the sake of itself, just for the sake of it existing.

    Really happy that the boys finally talked about Shaun of the Dead, albeit briefly. I love that movie but had an awful experience when I excitedly showed it to my entire family and they all collectively hated it. Like I know others not enjoying the same things as you are fine and doesn't invalidate your opinions, but it's still rough to be passionate about something and then presenting it to an entire room of people who misinterpret and shit on it the entire way through.
