The Cowboy Killers: “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier”

I watched the film Southland Tales last night and despite losing the plot half way through it was an enjoyable enough movie for Sunday night viewing.
There was one scene when former boybander Justin Timberlake stars as a wounded Iraq war veteran dealing a new kind of drug, ‘Fluid Karma’. The acting was great and his miming along with The Killers track All These Things That I’ve Done really stuck in my mind.
Imagine my surprise then when I dug out the official video on YouTube to find an almost spaghetti western approach to the story of the band, dressed as gunfighters, facing off against a group of boomerang wielding Amazonian women.
Just watch it for yourself and then try and put the various Tarrantino style out of sequence sections in order to get the full narrative. I love the black and white footage and locations - a trailer park and Las Vegas neon sign junkyard. A must buy on iTunes:
