I'll allow that it's definitely not for everybody. But damn I love that movie.

I thought it was ok. That was my first Korine film, so the style was something new. And I can't say I'm a fan of the style but I have to give him credit for it being unique.

Maybe I didn't understand directorial intent but if he was making fun of that stupid lifestyle, then I can roll with it a lot more. If he's glorifying it, different story.

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B, if you ask me. My thoughts at length are on my blog that I barely ever update, just click the sig.

Also, as long as we're on the subject of movies that I'm far more excited for than any reasonable person:

Between the lineup of Schrader/Ellis/Lohan/Deen and that NYT story a few months back, if this isn't the disasterpiece of 2013, I'll be crushed.

Uninteresting tidbit about SB...the judge in the court scene is John McClain, sportswriter for the Houston Chronicle. He's a regular on the afternoon sports radio show here in Nashville.

I first heard of this movie a long time ago when he was describing his role and giving a synopsis of the movie. Needless to say, it was completely opposite of what i was expecting.

Not really sure what the connection between Korine and McClain are really.

WTF are these things?:

Are they just trying to confuse people at the RedBox? Does it work, at all?

I could see how the kids ones would work:

But seriously, WTF?

But it is notable that the author of one of our resident movie expert's namesake is in Atlantic Rim.

BRB. Figuring out this sentence.

OK. I got it.

Why can't Graham Greene get work? The one native american actor probably everyone knows by his face, and the guy is stuck doing B-movies.

"Christmas with the Kranks" is on my cable. This is the most unintentionally creepy, disturbing movie ever. I wonder if they harass the neighborhood Jews to put up Christmas regalia too.
