Personally, I would have liked to see Kelly make his movie <i>The Box</i> before <i>Southland Tales</i>, but I enjoyed DD so much that I'll watch the others no matter how badly they're panned. <i>Life Aquatic</i> had some pretty bad reviews if I remember correctly, and that's one of my favorite movies. Perhaps I just have bad taste. What to do is to see it anyway, and make our own judgements.

However, so far no distributor will take it, and finding a distributor is what Cannes is really about. I was rather amazed that Donnie D found one, since it was so unconventional, yet very happy that viewers made it a cult hit. The best review of Southland is in the Village Voice which I featured on my page this past Friday. And last nite, I found two very funny clips from the movie on YouTube, including a hilarious scene of porn stars doing a "The View" type talk show. Sadly, Kelly may just be too hip for the room. And I'm with you again on the original cut of DD - the "director's cut" tried to explain too much. I’m with you - very much want to see this movie, even it isn’t perfect.
