Dana Stevens of Slate, as part of this year's Movie Club, on "Southland Tales" vs. David Lynch:
At any rate, I won't speed the moldering of Sembčne's corpse by either championing or piling on to Southland Tales, which struck me as a wildly imaginative, intermittently brilliant journey up its creator's own ass. (Not unlike—and here I'm really going to get in trouble—David Lynch's freaky, seductive, infuriating self-released odyssey Inland Empire. Lynch just happens to have a more compelling ass.)They got some good critics in the discussion this year- and left out that asshat Jonathan Rosenbaum.
