My fav movie ever
No one even knows what it‘s really about and I think that’s cool. Time travel? Mental health? Death? How to suck a ****? Who’s to say. Not to be cringe, but I think it’s a movie to be felt, not understood. 10/10

After Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly was given 20 million to make "Southland Tales". A film that got booed out of Cannes film festival, grossed only 300,000 worldwide box office, and practically killed the man's film career (before the very recent news of his return). After finally getting around to watching it, I simply cannot understand how anyone didn't enjoy the hell out of this movie. It has aged beautifully, the cast is fucking loaded and all over the place (The Rock, Stifler, Wallace Shawn, Justin Timberlake, Amy Poehler + many more), and in a very silly/fun way satirizes post 9/11 hysteria and political dispersion/stupidity in america without being very preachy. Yes it's sporadic, but there's so many quotables and memorable scenes that are hilarious and just batshit fucking insane Hollywood truly needs to return to giving money to psychos and letting them run wild with their vision. it creates a truly unique film experience such as this one that I could not recommend more.

Really fascinating, weird, dark, while also being incredibly funny and charming. unlike anything I’ve seen before & cool soundtrack. Can be incapsulated by this letterboxd review:

i never thought i’d find my 10/10 movie but i think this is it
i’m moved, amazed, and also feel seen somehow
every detail made such an impact
between the living situation and dustin hoffmann‘s supreme performance, it brought me to tears so many times
i never knew how much one movie could impact so much of cinema, even freaking elf
i don’t need to watch another movie for a long time lol
i could write a book on all of this, yet i’m astounded and lacking words
i think joe buck represents so much of the innocence/naivety we start with in life (also omg i couldn’t believe that was jon voight at first!)
and i feel like rizzo ratzo rico is the polar opposite, jaded reality of what it feels like in the real world. his pain came through so strong and hit me like a bunch of swords to the soul.
there’s so much more to it than just that but that’s all for now.

Is ‘hot mom’ an oxymoron? Is it wrong I still want to be attractive even with my baby strapped to me? Can a woman ever escape the expectations of her sex appeal?
