Oh.. must have slipped me by. I just enjoyed seeing the two cars bonking each other and how he portrayed
media throughout the movie. So the whole one-soul-touch-ma-finger-thing was about that? Guess I'm too
stupid to note that hehe. Donnie Darko's pretty good though >_>

It's not entirely obvious from watching the movie, but here's an interesting little tidbit from IMDb:

Is 'The Power' important for understanding Southland Tales?

Not really, but it explains why the tattoo of Jesus on the back of Boxer's neck starts bleeding at the end of the film. This means that Christianity has won the "contest" for Earth and is the one true faith.

Fuck!!!  What a douche. 

I don't know, Donnie Darko's ok at best but it does have a pretty good visual style (then again last time I saw it was a few years back so my opinion on this may have changed since then), but fuck, Richard Kelly shouldn't be allowed to write his own movies.  The sci-fi aspect of Donnie Darko's plot is just so ridiculous and relies too much on MADE UP LOGIC and it's just like come on man.  Other than that it's pretty good if you're a teenager I guess.

Heh, yeah well I guess it depends on how you watch the movie. There's stuff that ain't that good in those movies,
but also stuff I like in them. I didn't know about the christianity thing in Southland Tales until you said it and even
though it's a pretty cheesy conclusion to the movie, I still like the other parts of it. Also, in Darko, there's some stuff
about the whole schizofrenic thingis I enjoyed as well. Guess the taste's like the butt, split.

I was gonna put Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, 10.000 BC) instead cause I enjoy watching
brainless "humanity saves the world" kind of movies with epic soundtracks, but oh well..

there's brainless but 10,000 BC and The Day After are just braindead man it's impossible to enjoy any of those movie on any possible level

Yeah seriously man, there's a scene in The Day After Tomorrow where they run away from COLD WEATHER, holy shit. 

Sheesh you guys are tough. Should've skipped my fifth. Let's just leave it at that people watch
movies for different reasons sometimes.. I bet you hate Beerfest as well.

hey come on, at least it portrays a decent message at the end of day after tommorow about how the northern hemisphere shits all over the southern hemisphere with polution, but a twist of fate means that the northern hemisphere needs them to survive.

It's pretty melodramtic, but has its heart in the right place.

Also, the CGI is pretty incredible in that movie, although I do agree that the cold wouldn't chase them like it does in that one part. That's probably the worst part of the movie. Other than that, you can still enjoy it on a 'popcorn' level, unless you are one of these characters that will only like something that has a psuedo-intellectual message behind it.

Actually yeah, I didn't really think Beerfest was that funny.  You should have said Super Troopers, that one was much better!

edit: I didn't dislike Beerfest though, it just wasn't as funny as I was led to believe it was.

Beerfest sounds like a barrel of laughs.

Thank you, I'm here all week.

never seen beerfest

i'm all for being enviromentally friendly and the awareness and all that but that doesn't excuse a movie to be a terrible as horse shit

The Wachowski brothers didn't direct V for Vendetta.  Just so you know.

is it really?

i started watching southland tales and it was just all this ridiculous shit and i kind of had hopes for it being good in a really ridiculous way.  that's disappointing!

Yeah pretty much.  Boxer Santaros has a bunch of tatoos on his body of different religious symbols, one of which is, of course, Jesus (naturally it's also in the center).  At the end of the movie the Jesus tattoo starts bleeding.  It isn't actually explained in the movie (being a RICHARD KELLY movie you have to do a bunch of outside reading to understand what the fuck is going on), but if you do some reading you'll find out that there was like a prophecy or some shit that said that at the end of the world, the tattoo of the ONE TRUE RELIGION will start to bleed.  As the IMDb FAQ so eloquently puts it, Christianity wins the contest of the religions.

It's stupid.

you're expected to read the three graphic novels, which occur before the movie to understand it. That's horse shit
