FORUM: The Merits of Trash Humpers...


Okay, so first off, actually, all I want this post to be is about a very interesting topic. Below you will find the first set of clips from the upcoming Harmony Korine film, Trash Humpers. Early yesturday, I posted the first trailer from the film, and called it shocking and interesting. However, after these clips, I am not so sure. I personally LOVE them, just for the audacity and ballsiness (word? Now it is.), but I KNOW that a lot of you will find them pointless, and will want to put a bullet in my spine for making you watch them. However, I want you to watch these clips, and then simply put your thoughts on them below. This should be a rather interesting discussion.



The Playlist sums up my thoughts PERFECTLY:

While we're all for demented Korine and lo-fi experiments into the absurd, we do have our limits. Is the entire "movie" going to be like this? Do we simply need to adjust our expectations and/or need to remind ourselves we're watching more of an art project that have much different values and qualities than regular, every-day narrative films? Dunno. Is this going to be the most indulgent film of the year? Or will it be lo-art genius? Take a look and tell us what you think.

Thoughts?

Go see something good!

TRAILER: Trash Humpers...


A few weeks back, the first images of Harmony Korine's Trash Humpers, were released in correlation with its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. My original thought based on those photos was basically what in the world is going on here. Well, thanks to the new trailer, it's basically what in the f**k is going on here. However, I'm INSANELY interested in seeing this film, so I guess it did it's job.

Enjoy! Or at least try to...



Yeah, I said WTF too.

Here's the synopsis, or what is considered the synopsis:

“creepy masks, low-grade torture, frequent public urination, senseless vandalism and the title, acted out on defenseless garbage cans, all have a confrontational panache about them to be sure. But the film is also full of poetry, dance, song and moments of aching poignancy.” The cast features Korine and his wife Rachel Korine, Brian Kotzue and Travis Nicholson.
