SPRING BREAKERS (2013) GUCCI MANE, SELENA GOMEZ & JAMES FRANCO (as Riff Raff?) DIR. BY HARMONY KORINE

they should do a billboard of franco sucking on an oscar statue

UK Title:
The Tree of SPRANG BRAAAAAAAKE

SPRAANG BRAAAAKEEE

Finally watched this. Great fun, good cinematography, good soundtrack, etc. I couldn't really buy Franco's performance. He did a good job but it was just a bit too actor-y for me. The women did a way better job. I think I liked "Trash Humpers" more though.

SPRING BREAK: A FEVER DREAM by James Franco

Look at mah fiiiiiillm. Shots every color.

what a shitty article.

still.

SPRAAAANG BREAAAAAK

^^Franco quoting Herzog

Imagine in a distinct German accent: “Three hundred years from now, when people want to look back at dis time, dey won’t go to the Obama inauguration speech, dey will go to Spring Breakers.”

oooohhh mg

lol, he said that about some reality tv spring break movie in like every single interview for five years there

this story reminded me of spring breakers because of the contextual details about the town and the teens there who are apparently rabid with boredom

When Anthony Snook found out about the Hadley murders, he thought, "Wow. I just went to the party of a lifetime. It's messed up what he did, but 20 years from now, I'll be able to say I was there. I hate Port St. Lucie, but that's kind of cool."

bleak.

Super bleak. Reminded me of Over the Edge/River's Edge too.

you i just realized what time of the semester it is

SPRAAAANG BREAAAAAAK!

have you read anything he's written since? Cos let me tell ya

yeaaaahh i dunno about this

Cos let me tell ya

I liked Glue and Porno but that's where I stopped.

oh I thought you were referring to the movie of Porno

wait, is there another one? I was referring to "Filth".

man i thought that url meant gaspar noe and paul verhoeven were co-directing the sequel to spring breakers. instead it was the guy who made spun.

well Porno is supposed to be happening

Filth has been and gone. It's really awful unsurprisingly

its coming out in the US at the end of this month

I saw this recently. It was bad. I laughed at the faux-seriousness-in-a-jokey-way-criticism of 'popular culture' scapegoat/as an excuse to not dive deeper. They barely scratched the surface.

the movie was a big old surface, no scratching needed

I hate this guy after Interior. Leather Bar.

Not the Irvine Welsh thread, but no way is Crime worse than Skagboys.

Pushing this further off-topic, I actually thought Skagboys wasn't as terrible as it could've been given the prequel context. Of course I haven't read anything else since Porno put me right off him.

Bedroom Secrets: this is Welsh by numbers. A cool drug taking alkie (not unlike Ray Lennox is at the start of Filth) and a stereotypical fat spotty geek are linked in a Dorian Gray way. Bits of it are really REALLY shite, but as ever bits of it are really well observed. The geeky guy is obsessed Harvest Moon but way too accurately for a casual observer to pick up. It's a lengthy version of the relationship between Lennox and Cliff Blades in Filth I suppose. The search for the father feels rehashed too, although I can't think where from. Maybe bits of it are Juice Terry in Glue, he had a weird Father Complex.

Crime: A pretty slight story padded out, but half-decent nonetheless. Part of it smacks of "I've just moved to America" (which he had) and sexual abuse as a child leading to adult issues show their face again (like in Marabou Stork Nightmares, to name but one), but the plot is pretty believable up to the final act. The weakest thing about it is that it's clearly supposed to be a redemption piece for Ray Lennox, and I didn't think he needed one.

If You Liked School: the pieces are short enough not to get boring, but it's another tirade of stereotyped grotesques in search of a plot which they don't always get. The Korean chef one is particularly tired if memory serves correct.

Reheated Cabbage: Pretty successful in that it's reprints of old, rare stuff from before these ideas just became recyclable tropes for Welsh. Except the Miami novella, which is new. And shite.

Skagboys: I could have loved this at 100 pages. Instead it's repetitive and unenlightening; on the skag, off it, on it, off it. Rinse, repeat. Exploit a girl, dump her, exploit a girl, dump her. The Renton in love section could have been great but as a prequel it's doomed to failure before it starts and knowing that takes away the joy of reading it. Best bit was working on the ship I thought.

man I had no idea he had churned out so many since Porno, I just lost track I guess

I put them in "let me know when this is under £1" on CamelCamelCamel so I can be sure I'll get my money's worth no matter how awful.

Franco was so bad in this. Leave it in the improv class dude.
