  Spring Breakers? What I really want to read about is Upstream Color.

  Since Spring Breakers and Upstream Color are my two favor­ite movies of 2013 (so far), I must admit I’m pin­ing for your opin­ions of both.

  Why no pic­ture of LITTLE ELLE???? Or at least Alice Englert?
  I know this ain’t the right time, place or crowd, but my GOD… When you guys see Elle Fanning, in any form, does­n’t your heart just ABSOLUTELY STOP and you’re instantly trans­por­ted back to anoth­er time in your life when you had hopes and dreams and thought there’d be some­thing, any­thing out there, and there was this ONE GIRL who was just a blind­ing RAY OF SUNSHINE?
  When I see Elle Fanning in a movie, in an inter­view, I just MELT because she’s so inno­cent and so endear­ing and abso­lutely what every teen­age boy ever dreamed of dat­ing.… she’s like the teen girl in WILD LIFE that the WEIRD SCIENCE kid is obsessed with. Just abso­lute per­fec­tion. She’s gonna be the biggest star around for the next 3, 4 decades.
  I know this is a site for cereb­ral cine­astes and those kind of things don’t enter the equa­tion for the humanly detached types who read cinema like it’s an icy Lit class and the act­ors and act­resses barely exist, just the themes…
  But she breaks down all human resistance.

  Does any­one know if the Fanning par­ents are plan­ning on sir­ing a third thespi­an daugh­ter so Lex will have a replace­ment to fix­ate on when the bloom goes off poor little Elle?

  I have dif­fer­ent obses­sions than Lex, but along the same lines…
  How on earth could the NYT review of G&R fail to men­tion that Christina Hendricks plays Ginger’s mom in this movie?!?
