her Letterman interview was really funny. "Paul, remember that Harmony Korine? remember how straaange he was? and we thought he was asked to leave show business?"

thought this was absolutely breathtaking from a visual perspective, kinda crappy otherwise
there were some really effective scenes tho... the first one where the girls are in the pool springs to mind
― A$AP Rovi (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 23 March 2013 05:25 (eleven years ago) link
but yeah the colors in this movie are unreal
Korine is an extremely slappable person who generally makes good films.

absolutely breathtaking from a visual perspective
This is enough to push just about any movie to the 90th percentile for me, though I think there's a lot more going on beyond that in this case.

this is great. if nothing else the funniest movie i've seen in a few years
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Sunday, 24 March 2013 05:39 (eleven years ago) link
otm: i saw it in a suburban theater at 10pm with only abt 40-45 other ppl, but when the britney piano sequence started it was the most laughter i've heard since borat on opening weekend
throughout the movie i was like damn skeillex must have listened to a ton of cliff martinez before he sat down to score this, until i saw the credits lol
i def went in with too many expectations and wasn't really in to it at first but once i kicked back and just let it do its thing i really was enraptured with it. with the multiple voiceovers and floaty non-linear editing its really much closer to malick than any obvious mann/depalma/tarantino comparisons (or korine for that matter), but a bizarro world malick where ~oneness~ is replaced by ~endless tension~
gucci was great, couldn't help but imagine how better it would have been with the almost-happened riff raff appearance

― turds (Hungry4Ass), Sunday, 24 March 2013 06:21 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not sure Korine's editing tack of endless looping did much for me on this. Think it woulda been better served as a medium length piece (like a lot of other full-length pics.)

oh wow i thought that was riff riff the whole time and was kinda pissed about it although i ended up liking it.

yeah the piano scene had me in stitches.
also loved the scene that seemed like franco's take on 'in brazil bad bitch stripper'

i kinda wish korine wasn't so heavy handed with the ironic voiceovers, obv the visuals are inescapably engorged, let them do their thing
like i kinda wish michael bay had directed this instead

Is the movie itself as visually ugly as the ads for it are? Will kinda be the deciding factor for me.

you mean is it as visually splendid as the ads make it out to be, and yes, it is

probably because they showed the trailer for 'pain & gain' before this
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 02:48 (eleven years ago) link
also mega lols @ them showing the trailer for the bling ring before this. 1.) they know their audience 2.) people are probably gonna peg it as a spring breakers rip even tho it was probably in production before spring breakers

"They sent me a clip of this girl walking across the room with three or four Coke cans on her ass, and we cast her, based on that video," Korine told Vulture.
I just needed to quote that.

colors felt almost believable in the beginning, just some well chosen and lighted locations, all this naturalistic work done with huge aperture lenses, soft focus in the lecture hall and other dark environs
but after a while it became clear the cinematographer just went to party city with hundreds of dollars and bought out the colored fluorescent section
