FLATSCREEN. DUMB SHIT

Haha, those are both amazing. Such a shame he wasn't cast. Franco did a good job I thought, but having this, his performance just doesn't seem as impressive any more.
Franco's character Alien is not based on Riff Raff, except for small bits and pieces.
It's based primarily on a Florida rapper named Dangeruss (who has a cameo in the film).

I saw the movie a few days ago. I agree the soundtrack was pretty good and some parts/shots were really well done. The movie turned out very different than I expected (I guess for a lot of people?). But overall I still found it mediocre. I wasn't a big fan of the dreamy edited parts. But the 4 girls made it totally worth watching the movie.

Riff Raff recently posted this picture of Franco with a bunch of Riff Raff pictures behind him
It does seem he was a fairly big inspiration for the character

Get that into your head.
People who review movies have no idea about what a good movie is. This includes users who rate it.

Whats funny about that image is now Spring Breakers has the same review rating at The Hobbit, 65%. But the audience rating for Spring Breakers is 51% and The Hobbit is 84%...

Her entire career was leading to these two, beautiful moments.
yes. Those were not lies.

DVD Bluray now
When my girlfriend told me I needed to see this movie, I thought it was just some wacky American-Pie esque comedy where lighthearted antics ensue. Much to my surprise, the movie was pretty engaging and made me think about this party movie trope that we've had going on in the past generation. Interesting movie, glad I watched it

Saw this on a plane yesterday. Worst movie I've seen since Sucker Punch. Just awful.

Trippy movie; I liked it. Strangely I remember that Franco is in his bedroom and keeps saying 'Look at all my shit!' over and over again lol.

I had no idea this is made by the guy who did Gummo, Kids, and Trash Humpers...
This seems like a major departure from what he usually does.

This movie seemed a lot like Kids, though? Same sort of story about the follies and mistakes of youth.
They let you watch a movie with this much nudity on a plane? Huh.

Watched this movie.
Honestly don't know what to think, and that's a first. Can't decide whether I liked it or not, lol.

White guys with long hair, gold grills, and lots of tattoos are pretty common in central Florida. I wouldn't call it an attempt to portray Riff Raff. Not after living there for 10 years.
"GO SKRILLEX!"
For real? There's music playing over that scene.

Saw this last night, overall it's a dreamy Drive clone with no heart or substance.
There are some cool scenes (robbery with long drive outside) and some great establishing shots, but thats it.. they establish and go nowhere.
The movie has no real story to tell, even the girls in the movie have no idea what they are doing. I'm fairly sure they are either a). cartoon characters or b). mentally retarded. I can get the 'not giving a fuck, I just wanna party' mood they throw around, but other than that they offer nothing to the story apart from being selfish assholes. I can't even remember all their names, one had purple hair, two blonde who looked the same and finally one girl 'Faith' had the common
Movie was boring until James Franco showed up- who put in a solid effort, but too little too late. I do wonder why he even is in this film. Ending spoilers

decency to go home after she realised they are gonna die.

Why did the girl go ahead and take down that gang at the end ? they had no motivation! it wasn't revenge cos they clearly didn't care for James Franco.. I guess "I don't give a fuck, I just wanna party y'all!" is a good enough excuse.. talk about two dimensional characters!
So it's Drive?
That would be the point, since it is satirizing real people and real people's shallowness.

I didn't read my own avatar and now everyone knows I'm not too bright. :(
It's like a Scarface style movie for today's generation.
Actually liked it. I dig chick's with guns.

Nah it's more like Refn's other film that just came out, Only God Forgives. Annoying editing, no likable characters, not much of a plot, but looks pretty damn nice.
Sounds like Drive minus the editing bit.

But see, things actually happen in Drive and the performances of the supporting cast is great. This film has James Franco sucking a gun like it's a dick and that's pretty much it. Gucci Mane is the worst villain of all time because his acting makes Tommy Wiseau look like an Academy Award winner. He actually says fucking "BRRRRRR" after a drive by.
If it weren't edited and shot like some wonky dream sequence/music video it might actually be so bad it's good. But as is? It's just bad. Real bad.

Almost as if the movie is supposed to be this surreal dream sequence that may or not be happening. Like Spring Break itself and the magical experience it is.
