“When I wrote the script, I started thinking about girls in bikinis with guns, wearing ski masks,” Korine recalls. “I was like, ‘Where would you see that?’ And the idea of spring break came to me. I just started imagining girls on spring break robbing places.”. hk
leave it to harmony korine to come up with crazy movies, the new ones don’t seem to be different, but are still fun in perspective by pp.

IMDb writer jon hopwood penned a very honest and thoughtful biography for kim kardashian…
“kim kardashian is emblematic of the shallowness of american culture in the first two decades of the new millennium. while some cultural critics call her the prime avatar of the “famous for being famous” faux celebrity crowd, she along with paris hilton is a new breed of cat whose celebrity comes from the release of a sex tape and the canny exploitation of the resulting publicity. like her good friend miss hilton (their relationship predates kim’s “celebrity”, kardashian is possessed of photogenic good looks but is short of any other discernible talents outside of the bedroom. both expanded their celebrity by becoming reality tv “stars”.
“…in the decadence that is america of the $15-trillion deficit and no serious plans from either party for a solution to the economic problems of the “great recession,” kim kardashian is welcomed to her second white house correspondents association dinner in washington, d.c. in 2012 and made fun of not only by host jimmy kimmel but by the president of the united states…that the woman’s fame rests on the february 2007 “leaking” of a four-year-old home sex [tape] (for which she ultimately received $5 million from vivid entertainment) is an apt metaphor for socio-economic-cultural malaise in washington and the country beyond, where everything seems to be run by amoral prostitutes in bed with each other and merely out for a buck.” by fm

not all fans look like fans
ok we all loved supreme, and that red box with its bold type is pretty cool. but like all punk rock bands that start out cool and soon find a bunch of losers pretend moshing at their feet, supreme has also come full circle. maybe its all those lady gaga ads that did them in? i never really got that! i mean, what does supreme have in common with gaga or her fans? i pass by the store often when in town, and i see the lines round the block like its “born this way” at ticketmaster and think to myself “who are these people?” they are nothing like what you’d think to see from supreme’s projected image, but rather a bunch of nerdy, zit faced, trust-fund masterbaters who line up the street mid-week, from morning to night, for a piece of that red tape. you can’t blame supreme for that, but it just makes things worse when you see the “store clerk” step out like henry rollins, fluff up and try and drop some attitude upon these god-forsaken souls. i mean yeah, that must feel really grand to boss around a bunch of teenage nerds who are dying to buy your logo clad t-shirts… i would at least drop the facade and fess up to selling out, and when you do, this is who you get at your doorstep, so don’t act all evil. by pr
growing up in california, i kinda’ find anything surf related in manhattan to be rather pretentious, but i just cant help myself but want to buy a couple of these slick minimal decks from saturday’s surf on crosby street. you can have it in black if that’s how you take your coffee, or milky grey to your taste. by dd
m+m was having a laugh today when i said something about a pretty boy or something to that extent. she said, “what is a pretty boy?” well, i guess you can call pierre clementi one… at least when he was young. not unlike belmondo and delon, clementi grew old to look rather “dirty” but in his youth he was the quintessential pretty boy, at least to me…if you want to see him at his peak watch bernardo bertolucci’s film the double… or the conformist, where he has a much smaller role. the double is by far a better piece for clementi and his character. by dd
as always an amazingly beautiful yet completely nonsensical film by inez and vinoodh, at château de versailles. as with all young directors, there are simply too many shots in the same film, a good portion of which should have stayed in the edit suite drive. also if i may interject here, having 20 models actually could suck, they should have stuck with daria strokous throughout the shooting, and saved the budget for an after party. all that said, we love inez & vinoodh and have loved them since day one so please continue, we promise to suffer through the good and enjoy the bad. by dd

vidal sassoon, the first/most famous hairstylist, passed today from leukemia. he was known for his wash-n-go cuts, that freed the liberated women from extensive daily preparations. a fashion trend that actually and effectively responded to the politics of the time. that will be hard to replicate. pretty much impossible.
