For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, 8PM EST, since Gummo (1997) was a hit last week, first up is slop maestro Harmony Korine’s beach-party crime tale Spring Breakers (2012) It concerns a quartet of college girls (Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine) who rob a restaurant to fund their spring-break vacation in Florida, only to manipulated into doing more crime by a weirdo criminal (James Franco). Things spiral out of control from there, but chicks are gonna rock anyway. This polarized critics and audiences alike when first released, with some hailing it as satiric genius, and others denigrating it as dumb trash. We’ll make up our own minds.
Next up is Timecrimes (2007), a Spanish sci-fi thriller about a man who encounters an apparently-kidnapped woman in the woods, only to be suddenly attacked by a psychopath. In his escpe, he stumblese upon a lab that just so happens to contain a prototype time machine, and uses it to go back a few hours to observe the incident in the woods again, and change time. Unfortunately, he also has to eliminate the other versions of himself every time he goes back. This is generally considered the best film of director Nacho Vigalondo, who is otherwise best-known for the horror film Colossal (2016).
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
