Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade is a 1993/1994 short film (29 minutes) written by Billy Bob Thornton and directed by George Hickenlooper. It stars Thornton, Molly Ringwald, Brent Williams and J. T. Walsh. It was later adapted into the 1996 feature film Sling Blade, also starring Thornton, which won Thornton the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as a nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Thornton plays Karl Childers, an intellectually disabled man who has been in a mental hospital for the past 25 years for a grisly incident. Karl Childers is parodied by Eric Cartman in an episode of South Park. Come join us and we get into this weird little gem of a short movie and find out about my personal bizarre connection to this little flick.
