i’ve been trying to figure out what the deal is with richard kelly’s new movie, Southland Tales. he wrote and directed Donnie Darko, and then he wrote Domino. so who the fuck knows what his next project might be like. not to mention, the cast consists of the rock, mandy moore, stiffler, buffy, JT, and jon lovitz. (!!!) so i just watched the trailer for the first time. and my initial reaction was, WHAT THE FUCK??1? this movie is going to be terrible. right??? donnie darko was a fluke. right??? it can’t be good. RIGHT????? so why do i feel like it might be… good?
I just saw the trailer too. It looks like a potentially great movie with the silliest cast in history. I’m really optimistic but have heard nothing but horrible things, and has spending 2 years to recut something ever turned a turd into gold?
