In these circumstances, completely justified.

 

Heard about his new film? It features skateboarding, promiscuous teen sex and young lads taking their shirts off. The ideas this man has!

If he'd gone on to do different things, then Kids would probably stand up as a bold and taboo-breaking piece of film making, albeit one that takes a great deal of license with its material. As it is, it now just feels like a ephebophile's wank fodder. I thought Bully was really distasteful.

Spring Breakers sounds nutty - can't wait to see it.

 

As for Larry Clark, I liked Kids at the time but haven't watched it for ages so I don't know if it still stands up. Bully is great, though. Besides the lovely, lingering camera shots, it has a plot and good acting and all that stuff that people tend to like.

 

Why did you find it distasteful, Loki?

So.. are we supposing then that Spring Breakers is going to be shit? Just been reading about it, and I have to say I think it sounds pretty cool. I haven't encountered the director as much as you guys obviously have, but just on the face of it, the idea of sexy girls in bikinis, guns and action.. sounds pretty good to me.
