re: Spring Breakers up to 70% on Rotten Tomatoes

that's just, like, your opinion, man.

there's more to the film. just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

if you think that girls gone wild is all that there is then you just didn't get it. Again it is satire.

yeah. though i would say it uses satire, but is not satire itself, per se. the shootout at the end was an amped up, hyperbolic portrayal of the 'no rules' depravity usually attached to spring break, something the girls work towards slowly, with the viewer pushed each step of the way into deciding what they're comfortable with.

even if the viewer didn't 'get' the attacks on youth culture, sexuality and exploitation (which to a point is not only acceptable, but encouraged by societ [e.g. 'titties, beer, project x fricking ruled!']) , but instead saw it as a straight-forward portrayal of what it was mimicking, i don't see how the viewer couldn't at least find the power shift between the girls and alien to be extremely interesting.

already downloaded and watched it on the ps3, had to watch it in fast forward 1.5x just to make it through

I didn't like it either and I really wanted to.

what did you think it was trying to be?

here are a couple discussions that capture the movie pretty well:
LINK (probably the closes to my thoughts, though focuses too much on race)
LINK (decent write up, though i think slightly off)

This movie is the tits. Cant wait to own it. It exists to be ridiculous.

I'm 19.. And I thought it was great.

It was raw, I guess if you're a really straight edge white person you won't care for it. But the younger generation, especially those from the south will love this movie

Watched it last night and thought it was ridiculous, if not somewhat entertaining.

My 2 favorite parts:

When Gucci Mane pulls up in his Lambo and yells "BRRR!" right as his bro shoots the girl in the arm

When James Franco is jumping up and down on his bed yelling "LOOK AT ALL MY SHEEET" in a complete rip off of the Riff Raff video where he itemizes his kitchen.


Liked the use of color and the soundtrack, hated that they kept repeating shite over and over.

The ATL Twins were a nice touch as well

Just finished watching it and yes, ridiculous and entertaining are how I would describe it.
I liked it.

Some of the naked bodies however, I wish I hadn't seen.


ETA: Did anyone else catch former wrestler Jeff Jarrett as the pastor at the beginning?
