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 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
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 23 November 2015 18:25 (eight years ago) link
I can't really think of another film that does what this one does but ok
― Οὖτις, Monday, 23 November 2015 18:30 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 23 November 2015 18:31 (eight years ago) link
not necessarily film. post-TRL MTV and pop music culture.

tbf 1/4 of the movie is just slow scenes with disembodied voices saying "spring break.... forever"
― μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 23 November 2015 19:18 (eight years ago) link
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
― Οὖτις, Monday, 23 November 2015 20:37 (eight years ago) link
I mean I do think there's a real, qualitative difference between real life and film
― Οὖτις, Monday, 23 November 2015 20:39 (eight years ago) link
you probably only think that bc of a movie you saw

This movie could've been ghost-directed by Terrence Malick.
― my harp and me (Eazy), Monday, 23 November 2015 20:41 (eight years ago) link
Malick's been hanging over his stuff since Gummo.
― circa1916, Monday, 23 November 2015 20:50 (eight years ago) link
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.
― scott seward, Monday, 23 November 2015 20:54 (eight years ago) link
great movie, D-40 sucks, spring break forever
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Monday, 23 November 2015 21:36 (eight years ago) link
his whole style is basically Malick + Herzog
I don't think it has a "message", but it does have a core theme
― Οὖτις, Monday, 23 November 2015 21:38 (eight years ago) link
the theme is spring break

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.

o this explains the movie's mediocrity
http://www.complex.com/music/2013/02/dangeruss-the-rapper-who-inspired-james-franco-spring-breakers
the whole thing is some surreal dumb shit as the movie itself
but some highlights
Had it been based on me completely, 100%, James wouldn’t have dressed like that. He dressed kind of strange in the movie, for me, for my liking. He’d have looked a lot cooler if I would have had a part in that, which I believe I could have, but I didn’t take the initiative to say, “hey, don’t wear that goofy-lookin’ shit,” you know what I’m saying. As far as—you know, he got the braids, I got dreads, I got big dumb dreads, dreads is a whole—you know, dreads is a lion in the jungle type shit, he had braids, which is like a deer. His appearance, I can’t take credit for that, and I wouldn’t want to.[...]I can’t lie. There’s a part of me that believes that it’s not going to be as real as it should be. A lot of it has to do with the way he was dressed in the movie. You would never catch a gangster dressing like that. And the way he talks in the movie, you can kind of tell it’s not real, it’s not authentic. Harmony Korine could have found me and put me in James’ role. I love James Franco, that’s my dog. He called me the other day, two, three days ago, he called me, just checkin’ up on me. I love James. But if Harmony wanted that real, Harmony should have came and when he found me, he should have been like, you know what, tell James I’m gonna get him on something else, we need this guy. I think Harmony knew that. That’s why he wanted me to be a part of it so quick."But if I had more time to really school James on that shit, I feel like it could have been better. So yeah, I do have some concerns about that, because I told him what to do, I told him how to do it, but I wasn’t there to be like, naw, that ain’t right. Here, this how you do that. And have him do it. So when I get credit for his actual character, I kind of have to take a blessing and just hope he listens to what I told him. Because like I say, I wasn’t at every single shoot to be like, “hey James, we don’t do that. We don’t do that."
