^^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.”

this story reminded me of spring breakers because of the contextual details about the town and the teens there who are apparently rabid with boredomhttp://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/tyler-hadleys-killer-party-20131218?print=true

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."

I liked Glue and Porno but that's where I stopped.
― stadow shevens (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 6 May 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link
oh I thought you were referring to the movie of Porno
― Number None, Tuesday, 6 May 2014 18:37 (ten years ago) link
wait, is there another one? I was referring to "Filth".
― stadow shevens (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 6 May 2014 18:38 (ten years ago) link
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.
― difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 6 May 2014 18:39 (ten years ago) link
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.

Not the Irvine Welsh thread, but no way is Crime worse than Skagboys.
― Berk errs Gibbs/Ox (aldo), Tuesday, 6 May 2014 21:59 (ten years ago) link
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.

Trash Humpers is on Mubi, so I thought I'd check it out. But it seems like the worst film ever, people in silly masks doing sub-jackass stuff while shrieking for ten minutes. So I bailed. Does it get better?
