Please no Lea. I'm so tired of her facial expressions and her voice. I'd love to see an unknown... Or hell, even an ethnic Elphaba. She's green, so it wouldn't really matter what her skin color is.

Hey Harmony thanks for doing this,

To be honest I hated Spring Breakers. It's a smart film but it is also just an excuse to have tits and ass flopping around everywhere, along with being exploitative of not only the women in the film but also of today's youth culture. I have trouble with the fact that i dont think most audiences will understand that this movie is a dark and ironic commentary on youth culture of today - - kind of like a huge middle finger to it. The problem lies in the fact that this movie, on the surface (and to most of the audience) glorifies all of these acts and shows next to no consequences.

As an artist it's not your job to censor yourself for the sake of others, but as a human being you should be aware of the kind of message you're putting out there - - particularly considering how much gun violence is being perpetrated by kids unto other innocent kids these days.

To be fair though, it definitely got a reaction out of me and i obviously have opinions about it. Especially the scenes with the Britney songs (Hit Me Baby one More Time mimics the fantasy ahead of britneys career and the fantasy ahead of the girls in the movie. While the song Everytime is a mirror of Britneys downward spiral in the public eye and the point where she publicly started losing her sanity... This is parallel to the girls downward spiral) made it crystal clear why you chose to cast girls with some of the most "innocent" public images.

Oh and i have to say, the cinematography and art direction was pretty much breath taking even if it was "art for art's sake" at times. All in all, it's a smart film that doesn't have that great of an execution, it's really self indulgent and can often times come across as your dirty-old-man project.
