the reason the rating is right in the middle is probably because either you totally love his films, or you totally hate them.
it's hard to take a middle-of-the-road opinion on them because they're so odd.
watching a 13 year old kid wearing a rabbit hat drown a cat in a 50 gallon drum will leave an impression on you.

Ah yes, the swimming pool scene in Gummo..
Better than Julien Donkey Boy's swimming pool scene, but not as good as Kids' swimming pool scene.

Either love it, or hate it. For the most part.
I believe I give Gummo 8/10.

Gummo gets 10/10 Julien Donkey Boy gets 6/10 (I don't like dogma/psuedo-dogma)
"Like Gummo was getting an NC-17 for nihilism!... [The Motion Picture Association of America] said: 'Take any scene on its own and it would be an R, but strung together, the message is so antisocial, so nihilistic, that this is an NC-17 film."

nihilism... hmm. i never really thought of it like that, but i suppose that really does sum up gummo pretty well.

it feels very nihilistic - eyehategod is the perfect choice for music in that film.
ps- sleep fucking rules as well.

well, that's actually pretty close.
Julian Donkey Boy is a lot like what would've happened if David Lynch was raised by gypsies in Alabama, and then directed his first movie during his first PCP high.

It's on that page. That site has been updated too. You used to be able to view "Above The Below" online before too but I think it's offline now. I like julien except for the opening ten minutes.

i like harmony corine, but i wont watch this film if it includes a cat being drowned.
my plea to movie producers: please kill only uncute animals. preferably insects or fish.

The cats being killed are actually important to the atmosphere of the film...
When he first visited the town that this movie was filmed at, he met some residents whose jobs were to hunt down cats and sell them to a chinese restaurant in a nearby town. Nobody cared, because the town was overrun by stray cats. The thing that desturbed the cencors wasn't the nihilism, it was that that movie is a real slice of america nobody talks about.

The cat that gets drowned in the begining, when you see him holding it under water it looks like a stuffed cat toy. I don't like to see cats killed in films either, it makes me sad, but it's fine in Gummo. The saddest cat death in film is when they kill that one in Midnight Express.

my god, what a stange film!
even though its meant to be gritty and realistic its one of the most disturbingly beautiful films i've ever seen... if that makes any sense, i'm sure it does to those who have watched it.
