Keggers By Korine

.
I guess Harmoney Korine's new flick Spring Breakers screened for the fest folks in Venice, and The Playlist seems to have enjoyed it thoroughly. Choice bit:

"Over the last 15 or so years has made films that (with the possible exception of “Mister Lonely”), push aesthetic & critical boundaries further and further, culminating in 2009’s “Trash Humpers,” a film shot on a VHS camcorder, featuring a cast in old-people masks generally trying to provoke the audience into walking out. So where could he possibly go from there? 

By making “Spring Breakers,” a curiously mainstream (at least by Korine’s standards) crime/exploitation picture -- that could be described as “Drive” by way of Russ Meyer, Terry Richardson and “Point Blank” -- featuring a bevy of teen starlets best known for wholesome work on the Disney Channel, and a performance from restless A-lister James Franco that might just be one of the actor’s best to date."

Um...who is in the jockstrap in the top pic? And when can we get some more of him standing? Just for purely informational purposes of course.

I don't know for sure who it is, but if I had to guess by who's listed on IMDb I'd guess the character named "Jock" who's played by Josh Randall, who looks like this. Maybe? Maybe!
