At nearly 1400 words, the plot summary had got out of hand and was marked as overlong. I've trimmed it to the version in an earlier revision [1]. -- Tony Sidaway 01:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
We have to discuss and decide how to treat this plot summary as it's not a typical case. As it is now, it seems like just guesswork. Because there is in fact no tidal generator and fluid karma is a msyterious liquid that's being extracted from a cavity that coils around the earth's core and that's what's affecting the earth's rotation. This is only known to someone who has read the comics however. The comics' plot is of course inextricably linked to that of the movie, however a person who watches the movie (which is the topic of this article) only knows what the movie tells us, which is that there's a tidal generator. There will surely be other situations like this within the plot, so we have to figure out if we want to tell it the way it is, or the way the movie tells it. I don't have an easy answer, so just trying to prompt discussion.-- Jeff79 ( talk) 11:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe the film's setting as an alternate world based on the premise that the United States failed to stop the detonation of two nuclear devices in Texas in 2005? Calibanu ( talk) 23:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Calibanu
I just got an import 2-cd of HOTEL which includes "Snowball," which I could SWEAR I heard in the film last week. Not mentioned anywehre. Seems that what's represented on the soundtrack CD (US) is but a tip of the iceberg of his music in the film.
Does anyone have a definitive listing of the tracks in the film (say, from the end credits) what would allow us to specify what music by Moby appeared in the film? -- David Spalding ( ☎ ✉ ✍) 21:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
It appears that the soundtrack was originally intended to be a dual-disc set, what was released was close to just what's on the first disc. This would explain the obviously-missing tracks.
Evidence: eBay provides track listings for music CDs. It's not clear what the actual source for the listings is. They show the following as the track list for the Southland Tales soundtrack:

Should this not be classed as a "2006" film since this was the date it was first released? IMdB also defines it as a 2006 film. DemonCleanerUK ( talk) 01:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
At the end of the film's credits it says Copyright MMV - 2005 because that's when it was made. Is the year listed alongside the film the date of release or the date of copyrighting?-- 121.219.35.128 ( talk) 06:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar), ex-porn star in the midst of reconverting; What does that phrase mean? KConWiki ( talk) 03:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Has there been any mention about any connection this movie has with Donnie Darko? While watching the movie, I noticed several similarities such as background sound (a low, continuing rumble?), a strong reference to water, mentions of vessals and artifacts. Could be simply down to having the same writer/director, but it might merit a section on the similarities and differences between the two movies. Kaotac ( talk) 16:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
That would make sense as this according to the writer/director of both films, this is a follow up to Donnie Darko. Don't belive me 67.9? http://worldfilm.about.com/od/independentfilm/fr/southlandtales.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.227.105.200 ( talk) 06:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
I have redirected three summary pages of the different bits of the film, regardless of the intend of the director, it was released as a single film and therefore we do not have four seperate pages to provide plot summaries for a single film. -- Cameron Scott ( talk) 09:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
The Cast section seems a bit disorganized. The first description refers to Krysta Now who doesn't come up until a few down. And then there's mixing between whether the sentence about each one is about the character, or about the actor. And then there's no little sentence for the characters down the list, which is fine, but maybe just one word about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.98.77.154 ( talk) 14:33, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Surely Kevin Smith's character is much more "supporting" than he is "principal".-- Jeff79 ( talk) 06:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Like the wachowski's Speed Racer, the references are constant. Like a stoner movie, but for psychedelics. Not surprising that it went over the head of initial audiences. -- Dr zoidberg590 ( talk) 22:25, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
I propose that Southland Tales: Music from the Motion Picture be merged into Southland Tales. I think that the content in the soundtrack article can easily be explained in the context of the film itself, and the film's article is of a reasonable size that the merging of the soundtrack will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. In fact, there already is a section of the Southland Tales article that discusses the soundtrack, and the brevity of the soundtrack's own article is such that merging the article into that existing section of the film's article should not pose any problems whatsoever, and might make more sense than giving the soundtrack its own article.

If anyone still remembers this thing they need to have a look at sourcing up the graphic novel pages, which are just plot summaries and are currently not adequate to justify their own pages. BoomboxTestarossa ( talk) 21:07, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
