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

I saw a car with a "MRZONE6" license plate today, made my day

I had to explain this movie to a much younger coworker a few days ago

spraaaang braaaake

mostly I just said that a lot

i got shorts

every color

Caught this on film4 last night - astonishing

I identified strongly with Franco's character

Forevvvvvvvvvvver.

I got shurikens

Time to watch this again soon

SPRING BREAK

Awful movie (still)

very. i cringed to see that harmony korine is the one celeb who's visited gucci mane in present lately (at least that has made it public).

Nah. Still rules. Enjoyed Harmony's somewhat recent Maron/WTF interview. Might be the first one I've heard from him where he isn't fucked up or fucking around. Surprisingly articulate about art stuff when he wants to be.

the first 20 minutes are fantastic, the rest is boring as hell

SPRAAAAAANG BREEEEEEAAAAAAK

idk if it's great but it is good at what it does, Korine is a-ok in my book

The Britney Spears piano sequence is the one that's stuck in my head the most a few years after watching it.

when i think about this movie what comes to mind are those hot pink robbers masks probably because they were featured in this video from the summer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib_1ATfr8wM

I am curious why D-40 hates this (unless I'm missing something upthread), I assume it comes from a place of gucci and riffraff fandom - but if so I think that's kind of missing the point. This is about a fantasy of reappropriation, a Disney Princess daydream about consequence-free "badness", of having the luxury and power to safely indulge in things that are conventionally viewed as dangerous (rappers, drugs, sexual games).

fwiw that fantasy is getting tired and old

I can't really think of another film that does what this one does but ok

I mean usually when this fantasy is explored its explicitly white males doing the fantasizing - Bulworth, Malibu's Most Wanted, etc. - which is not the same thing.

not necessarily film. post-TRL MTV and pop music culture.

Miley Cyrus

Kesha

tbf 1/4 of the movie is just slow scenes with disembodied voices saying "spring break.... forever"

Miley Cyrus

I'm not sure if you're saying her career is about this or if her music is about it cuz I suspect it's the former, which is def not the same thing

I mean I do think there's a real, qualitative difference between real life and film

you probably only think that bc of a movie you saw

This movie could've been ghost-directed by Terrence Malick.

Malick's been hanging over his stuff since Gummo.

i didn't even really think this movie had a message. it looks really cool though. i would call it art! it's definitely an art movie.

great movie, D-40 sucks, spring break forever

his whole style is basically Malick + Herzog

I don't think it has a "message", but it does have a core theme

the theme is spring break

great movie, D-40 sucks, spring break forever

I think there is something to what Shakey says, esp with Franco being the kind of dangerous but safe white "guide" to it all, whereas IIRC it's the scene with actual black people that scares Selena Gomez into going home, and also that's kind of what a lot of white people's relationship to both spring break and mainstream hip-hop is about, having this "safe space" to act out fantasies of hypersexuality and abandon that they associate, via popular culture, with black people.
