I'm just happy they're using one of Dangeruss' songs on the soundtrack. Get him some exposure. The trailer had me laughing with them girls running around in their bikinis and pink ski masks, bruh.
Russ “Dangeruss” Curry grew up on the south side of St. Petersburg, a predominantly black area known for high crime and a lack of opportunity. Danger, as he's known to his friends, compares it to “the bad parts of Chicago and Miami and New Orleans.” His father left when he was young, and his mother was often absent. “She had her vices, so to speak,” he says. He and his brother were raised by his grandmother, who became ill when he was sixteen. “I became man of the house, you know,” he says. “As far as taking over everything, paying bills, so on and so forth...I got caught up in the streets making good money, and music became secondary."
I can't even fully quantify or explain my reaction to some of the film. As a parent, I have never been happier that I do not have daughters, but I can't deny that Korine expertly crafts the film's candy-colored surface. The movie plays like an earworm, burrowing down into your consciousness. By the end of the film, you'll have Franco's "Spring breeeeeaaaaaak" in your head, in your ear, and you'll have images that you can't shake. I'm particularly interested in the way I've heard from several people now that the film "doesn't show anything." What they mean is that they were disappointed that there's no nudity from Gomez or Hudgens, because if you just want nudity, the film is positively sodden with it. I feel like I sat through a "Girls Gone Wild" video, and it is really unpleasant as a whole. And yet even after being almost assaulted by the nudity, I've still heard complaints because some viewers didn't see "the right" breasts. It's pretty telling as an indicator of what you're watching for.
On a level of pure filmcraft, "Spring Breakers" is sort of amazing. It is sleek, it is always propulsive, and there are times where it reaches a level of almost beautiful surreality. There's a particular use of a Britney Spears song that, taken as a stand-alone sequence, is oddly touching and bizarre. Benoit Debie is an exciting cinematographer who is building one of the most eclectic and daring filmographies around. He shot "Enter The Void" and "Irreversible" for Gaspar Noe, and he was a big part of the overheated Mexican prison world of "Get The Gringo." Here, he plays with neon overload and a sort of hyper-real sweaty aesthetic, and it's incredibly effective. The score by Cliff Martinez and Skrillex is sort of a non-stop punch in the head, and perfectly suited for the movie.
Can you translate this into English for us old folks?.....
It just looks unremittingly dark and sinister. I was expecting something cheeky like whatever that cheerleader bank heist flick was. This looks more like it is going for "Savages".

was this what she was shooting when you posted that pic of here riding on that hot skooter? She hot.
Yeah, bro. Never saw her around town when they were here though. I read they filmed one of the scenes in a strip club, but they went over to Tampa to do that instead of staying in Pinellas to partyrock. SMH.
Who's Checking Out Spring Breakers This Weekend?
