Plot summary

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)[reply]

Bit pointless since that isn't actually the plot of the movie the public saw since it was there from before the movie opened to the public .Garda40 (talk) 02:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Future?"

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[reply]

Yes. This is clearly laid out in the films prologue. -- David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 21:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moby soundtrack ... what's in the film

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)[reply]


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:

  1. Wave Of Mutilation - Pixies (UK Surf Version)
  2. Oh My Angel - Bertha Tillman
  3. Howl - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Extended Version)
  4. Look Back In - Moby
  5. Me & Bobby McGee - Waylon Jennings
  6. Chord Sounds - Moby
  7. Lucky Me - Roger Webb
  8. 3 Steps - Moby
  9. Broken Hearted Savior - Big Head Todd & The Monsters
  10. Teen Horniness Is Not a Crime - Abbey McBride/ClarKent/Sarah Michelle Gellar
  11. Tiny Elephants - Moby
  12. Forget Myself - Elbow
  13. Star Spangled Banner, The - Rebekah Del Rio & The Section Quartet
  14. Three Days - Jane's Addiction (Live Version)
  15. Memory Gospel - Moby
  16. If I Could Be With You - Louis Armstrong
  17. Planet Telex - Radiohead
  18. Tender - Blur
  19. Blackout - Muse
  20. Broken Hearted Savior - Big Head Todd & The Monsters
  21. Three Days - Jane's Addiction
  22. All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
  23. Real Thing, The - The Shakers
  24. Oh My Angel - Bertha Tillman
  25. Wave Of Mutilation - The Pixies
  26. Alendilch Strahit Der - Richard Wagner
  27. Lucky Me - Roger Webb

Film date

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Reconverting?

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)[reply]

Connection to Donnie Darko?

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)[reply]

I think the "similarities" you mention are stretching it a bit, at the least. I could see maybe including a few sentences here and there about how both films discuss time travel or the like, but an entire section is a kind of frivolous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.9.24.41 (talk) 16:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
