Hello all,

I just wanted to make a clarification to the individual named "Davey
Bizzle" who claims to have seen the final version of Southland Tales and posted a review of the film on AICN via Moriarty. The problem is... the version
he saw is nowhere near the final version, but and avid output from
December of 2006, which was basically the cut as it existed (at a running time of 2
hrs 17 min) before we began to add dozens of new visual effects shots and
additional content to fix the film.

This is the version that I showed Sony (and Universal International)
last December... and said... there are still a lot of problems that we need
to fix and can I have more visual effects money to fix them? Thankfully,
they said yes.

The final running time of Southland Tales is 2 hrs 24 min... and more
than EIGHT MONTHS of work has gone into improving the film after this
version viewed by Davey Bizzle.

The description "(Mostly) Finished" is a completely innacurate
description of what Mr. Bizzle saw.

Just trying to set the record straight... and I can't wait to screen
the finished version.

It's weird how I just read the review, and then I get an E-mail RIGHT when I'm done reading sayign you've posted a new blog.

This is good news though.

I'm so glad this flick has a chunky run time...

I've been waiting for it for so long...

If it came out and was like 84 minutes long I'd have to introduce my bat with spikes on it to a few people...

Mr. Kelly-

Davey Bizzle can take his stupid "comments" and stupid moniker and shove them up his own stupid ass.

Whatever ST ends up as I don't care...I'm sure it will be just fine.

Mr Kelly,

I'm happy to read that Southland will be finished soon.

Your french audience was very exited by the viewing of Donnie Darko, and we just hope that Southland will come in our theaters ! Well, if it won't, we'll buy the US DVD !

I hope you will make another movie soon !

As we say : "Bonne chance à vous !"

P.S. : sadly, the director's cut of DARKO never came in France... I'm still waiting for, with patience !!!
