The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I've said a million times how much I dislike Harmony Korine as a film maker. I genuinely hate his work. As such, I've not seen Spring Breakers and I have zero desire to give it a shot.
I, am, however, really excited about Beach Bum. I'm going to see it. And if I like it even a little bit, I'll go back and give Spring Breakers a shot. But I'm going to need some shred of proof that Korine has outgrown his own bullshit before I even attempt to watch a movie he made with James Fucking Franco.
I think there's a good chance you will like this considering that three of your favorite posters, VinylGuy, LV, and myself are all into it. And yes, Korine has finally outgrown his bullshit. It took him awhile but he finally reached your level.

Man Spring Breakers fucking ruled and the fact that tree___ didn't like it more or less confirms that.

Ok, if Mickey recommends Spring Breakers then I HAVE to see it.
I wouldn't say greatest American film ever but it's a really solid, deeply entertaining watch. I saw it in like 2013 and still find myself thinking about it from time to time, which is the best indicator of a movie for me.

Reserving judgement until I watch Spring Breakers, but the summary and reviews on wikipedia along with the main Korine article don't really give me much hope. Sounds pretty self-indulgent. Am I way off? What about this stuff appeals to you guys?

Very self-indulgent. There are scenes where they repeat a small line of dialogue over and over for like 2 minutes while the camera moves around all hypnotically.. like.. what's the purpose of that? Boring.

“Self-indulgent” is maybe the worst faux-criticism of them all
"How can an artist be expected not to be self-indulgent? That's the whole thing that's wrong with filmmaking today... To me, art is one man's voice, one idea, one point-of-view, coming from one person."
LOL
