The ‘Spring Breakers’ Trailer: James Franco As Riff Raff, Gucci Mane, and Some Tainted Disney Girls

Everyone loves a good multi-racial shock circus…and the upcoming movie Spring Breakers (release date: March 29) is all that and more. The tainting of little flowers like Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars), the thug credentials of Gucci Mane, the acting chops of James Franco, and the art-house kiddie pr0n esthetic of director Harmony Korine (Kids, Gummo). And just looking at this trailer…this isn’t a made up fantasy population, these pockets of cross-culture freak shows are the new cool. There is a bad teeth and dirty feet movement. There is drug beauty and slut glory.
So if you combine those real social behaviors, with some Hollywood action, and some “courageous” career risk-taking (*eyeroll*)…then maybe Spring Breakers will be to 2013’s youth, what Menace II Society and Belly was to teens in the 90’s. Even if the movies themselves aren’t that great….the attitudes and images become permanent reference points.
ugh…why am I over-analyzing this. Just watch the trailer because it’s entertaining and ridiculous. And because the director originally wanted Riff Raff but when he was busy, he just had James Franco channel Riff Raff. Which Riff Raff was very proud of:
“Even though I couldn’t be a part of this project, I’m still glad that James Franco could play the role of me. That’s like if Denzel Washington was playing the role of O.J. Simpson. Even though it’s not O.J. Simpson, O.J. Simpson still gotta be like, ‘Denzel Washington is playing me.’”

Too bad James Franco drew his inspiration from DANGERUSS a rapper from Florida

Riff Raff was busy doin WHAT!?? LMAO
Does he even have show worthy material???
But im glad James Franco did the channeling because i would not be able to stand that annoying Inaudible voice for longer than 3 to 4 minutes tops, which is the length of his tracks and thats it…
And it wouldnt’ve been taken serious.
But the fact that we still talkin bout’em in the year 2013 is a testiment to his hustlte. Thumbs up to that…

The bigger injustice is Belly, Menace, and Spring Breakers in the same sentence lol

I’m not intrigued. Franco doesn’t strike me as someone who used to drive a Porsche Cayenne, trapping in Iran and dodging trash cans.

“There is a bad teeth and dirty feet movement. There is drug beauty and slut glory.” Love this, such a cool quote. I wish you did more writing Info.

movie looks cool, but i’m wondering, what did RiffRaff have goin on that was more imporant than this? Probably better with an real actor though, judging by Gucci’s line/role in this trailer Gucci can’t really act.

motha fucking Riff Raff. Dude has the funniest interviews

Yeah definitely not trying to over-analyze this. If I’m in a “what hell why not” mood I’m sure I’d see this….if I haven’t downloaded it prior.
Belly & Menace? Those films are connected to childhood memories so I’d be surprised if this made it into that status.
We’ll see….
