Holy Crap Guy, I am *SO* In!
2007
Okay, so *start* by going here and watching this. It’s the preview for Southland Tales, the new movie from Richard Kelly, the writer/director of Donnie Darko, one of the better indie movies ever made. Possibly one of the better movies ever made. Still a contender for my own list. But this movie… man. It looks fantastic! I can honestly tell you I have no idea what it’s about, I mean, not really, but Seann Williams Scott, The Rock (sorry, Dwayne Johnson), the SMG, Mandy Moore and a SCARRED Justin Timberlake. It’s like a dysfunctional dream cast! Not to mention the cinematography this guy comes up with is great. I’m not trying to diminish the work of a good (or even great) DOP (director of photography), but this guy must storyboard until his hands fall off. That shot of the toy soldier on some street in LA? Goosebumps man, goosebumps. I love it three ways from Sunday and I can’t.freakin.wait.
After reading the cast list and assuming that “the SMG” can be no other than Sarah Michelle Gellar, I got an immediate mental picture:
Sean William Scott as Shaggy Rogers
A SCARRED Justin Timberlake as Fred Jones
The SMG as the same character she played in the first live-action version, Daphne Blake
Mandy Moore as Velma Dinkley
And Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson as Scooby Doo
Is that wrong? Because in my head, Scooby/Rock is a pit bull, Scarred Fred keeps channeling his character from “Alpha Dog”, Velma has realized that beauty and brains trumps Daphne’s one-trick pony and is starting to Single-White-Female her out of the picture, and Stifler, well, he doesn’t do much new but f^ck the dog.
Now I should probably watch the preview. Excuse me.
LMAO. There is nothing worse than being outdone on your own blog by your hilarious friends. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Mel.
