did anyone watch the movie Spring Breakers?

James Franco is disgusting and weird in the movie. 

I had no idea it was written by the same dude who wrote Kids.  And therefore, not at all what I was expecting when I went it. 

I needed a shower after watching it.

I heard it was pretty fucked up - my gender studies major sister was railing against it.

I have no words. And Vanessa Hudgins should fire her agent ASAP...not a smart career move.

Now I'm curious.

Oh man. That's the girl from PLL!

I want some spoilers. What was so bad in it?

SPOILER: Click to show

So these four girls want to go on spring break to Florida, but have no money.  So they steal a car and hold up a chicken restaurant to get some money.  Then they get to Florida, do copious amounts of drugs, have sex with lots of random strangers and then get busted and end up in jail.  James Franco, a gross drug dealer (with a disgusting grill), bail them out, and they end up being like his groupies. The goodie two shoes ends up going home, while the other three stick around, rob tourists, have sex with James Franco and whatnot...eventually another girl goes home, and leaves two behind.  These two end up having a threesome with James Franco, and then they plan to rob and kill the biggest drug dealer in St. Petersburg (I think it´s in St. Petersburg, but don´t quote me on that).  So the three of them go to his house at night, open fire and kill everyone in site, and James Franco gets shot and killed as well.  Then they return to college as if nothing happened.

WTF? Yeah.no.

Yeah, I was thinking it was a comedy, light hearted, whatnot.  I didn´t read anything about it ahead of time, and I so wish I did.

I hate that crap. It's just disturbing and I always feel like those kind of movies are just going for the big shock value and does nothing for the story.

So true.  And the cinematography was supposed to be cutting age or whatnot, and I find it stupid and completely unsuccessful at what it was trying to achieve (which is probably also debatable).
