I don't find either one "awful", just average. Korine's just not a very good filmmaker. He has great tastes though. I've immersed myself in experimental/obscure/no-budget/undeground cinema for half of my life, and I am just not impressed by his stuff at all. All Korine does is appropriate some of the stranger concepts/ideas of Mike Leigh, Fassbinder, Godard, even Dennis Hopper (Last Movie, Out of the Blue, etc) and so on and so on forever, and makes them his "own", kind of a pop version of genuine weirdness. He's dull. This film is a Giuseppe wannabe, and that's about it.
