I really really think he's highly over-estimating the impact the film will have from a cultural standpoint. It doesn't define anything.
 
I wonder Devo is like this right now:

Or she hates both, which means still go see it to drop that opinion!
 
Actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Stuck with me after. Didn't know whether to have fun, laugh, or sit uncomfortably; which is a great thing. Franco was pretty great in it actually. Love how the movie makes nudity so useless by the end. Britney Spears scene was so good, but people were busting up throughout. The reactions to the movie at the end were obviously mixed all around. Hilarious.

I hated on this movie so much beforehand too.
 
I keep thinking about the extremely stark 180 that the mood took during that scene when the girls
were in the parking lot going over the robbery
. actually got chills during that scene in how fucked up the whole situation really was

Nope. Just sayin' in most of 'em you don't walk away with anything and stuff isn't really resolved in a couple. Doesn't make the ride worthless though. I love their films.

Stuff isn't resolved in Coen films but you walk away with a lot. Precisely because of that lack of resolution, oftentimes. Like, when you look at it in macro Barton Fink or A Serious Man don't really "go" anywhere. Lebowski certainly doesn't have a focused plot. But I've retained so much from each of those films. moments that technically don't "add up" gain profound meaning with distance. Maybe that's what you mean by the ride being worthwhile: the ride is what viewers remember most about movies anyway. Tiny moments or scenes that seem inessential but are key to making something awesome. Including those moments or even building a film around them is the opposite of dumb.

It's an R rated, Harmony Korine film. If you were expecting Project X: Girls Gone Wild Edition, you didn't do enough research before seeing it. The advertising has the trappings of a party film, one where people think of Spring Break as some sort of pilgrimage of self discovery when in reality, all they do is get fucked up. There is a very ethereal element to the narration and I think it works if you go in knowing what to expect.

I don't think I've met anyone who thought otherwise of spring break. In fact, this is the first time I've seen it interpreted as a "pilgrimage of self discovery."

I actually will see GIJ, but I want to see SB in theatres too.

G.I. Joe looks like a good fun/dumb popcorn romp, I might see it too.

Gonna wait on SB until netflix most likely, but all these polarizing opinions are definitely making me more interested.

well the characters in the film think of it that way. At least one or two do. which is the point, they see it as a way of finding themselves when it's nowhere near that clean-cut.
 
Saw this for free last night. Pretty bad IMO but the Britney Spears scene was actually amazing. Go up on youtube soon please.

It's close between Benson and Hudgens for me, but I would have to go with Hudgens personally. I think she has the best body of the lot.

I feel like I am in a VERY small group that actually finds Hudgens disgusting. Just completely unattractive. I cant really explain it, but she does nothing at all for me.

But different strokes for different folks.

She has a very dirty, slutty vibe to her. That's probably why she turns you off and turns me on. ;)

I would bang that Gerber baby face like it was spring break y'all, not to the extent that Gucci did, but I would still smash to the best of my abilities. Burrrrr

I love this reply! You sir, should be given an opportunity to tear that up. And we should be given a video of your efforts to critique and ridicule.

Let me paint you a verbal picture. I would meet Selena and introduce myself as a pretty small fan. I would explain how I watched a couple of episodes of Witches of Waverly Place with my niece and it was a painfully mediocre kids show at best. I then ask her for Demi Lavato's phone number. She tells me that Demi sold her phone for a pinky bump of coke and instead, gives me the address of her rehab facility and her visitation hours. This is when I make my move, I tell her that her chain smoking voice and the fact that she is a witch really gets me going. We start going at it when all of a sudden, #bricksquad rolls through the door on bicycles similar to this one because this bike is #trill.

Waka and Gucci pull me aside and explain that my form is all wrong. They then walk back over with me and instruct me in the ways of love making in a similar way that guys in movies teach girls how to putt and play pool. Guccie explains to me that the key is "making things hottttt..." "But Gucci, what about burrrr?" I inquire. He checks his chain int the mirror and turns his attention back to me. "When dry ice heats up it sublimates into carbon dioxide gas, which is a normal component of air. Dry ice is extremely cold (-109.3°F or -78.5°C), so when you touch it, the heat from your hand (or other body part) is absorbed by the dry ice, that's why it feels hot. You need to be so cold that it is hot, burrrrrr" Waka then tells me that kindling a passionate Flaka Flame is also important. With these pieces of key advice in mind, I rock Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds voice actress Selena Gomez's world while Gucci and Waka stand over me like two proud papas.

Not showing anywhere near my hometown or college. Doubt it's going to get any further expansions but hopeful.

Also did Selena Gomez really get smashed by Gucci? That's kind of disturbing if true.
 
Spider's scenario ignores the key fact that Waka and Gucci are beefing right now. instead of both helping you out, they'd probably offer opposing advice and start shouting at each other and then something would pop off

that's the rumor but I don't see how it's disturbing if it was consensual an all.

Well, to quote the great South American song writer Curtis Ian "Love, Love will bring us together again"

Waka and Gucci squashed beef about Waka's mom (Gucci fired her as his manager, he didn't fuck her... as far as we know BURR) I'm sure they'll squash this eventually. At least I hope so. They work too damn good together. :(
 
fuuuck ferrari boys was so good too :(

he's right about the fans thing though. Waka seems like a really chill dude, gucci fucking bottles fans who ask for a picture.

also flockaveli is dope so...team waka
 
huge Korine fan, but I still haven't seen it. My buddy who is also a huge Korine fan loved it, but said everyone else in the theater hated it. I feel like it'll be the same situation when I go see it.
 
Went to see this, this afternoon.

Really enjoyed it and felt satisfied after it was all said and done. I'm still trying to process a lot of the choices for the film that went through this, but altogether, really really liked it and will probably see it again in a different venue.
