It's 90% of the back of Vicent Gallo's head and 10% of Chloe Sevigny sucking him off.

Kids didn't really bother me.
Requiem for a Dream fricked with me way more than Kids.

Requiem for a Dream was just an absurd caricature.

You've got to give Gallo credit. He really stuck it to Harmony Korine by tricking his idiotic ex-girlfriend into believing that it would be "artistic" to blow him on-screen.

The weirdest scene for me is near the end when the same boy is bathing in brown bathwater and eating some nasty looking spaghetti. Then the mom is putting shampoo in the kid's hair and she's flinging suds everywhere not giving a frick if they end up in his spaghetti. Finally he scarfs that chocolate bar like he hasn't eaten in days and gets chocolate all over his face.

Alright, I just got finished watching Gummo. It was definitely different, and there are a lot of things that I could write about it, but I'll hold off for a while. After watching the whole movie, I guess I can see why it has become a bit of a cult classic. It's certainly unique. The only similar movie I can think of is "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things", but that was still a linear movie with a plot.
Here's the first question I have for you guys: Outside of the two main characters and the trio of girls (in Chloe Sevigny's scenes), do you think that the people in the rest of the film were actually acting?
As much as I want to say that Harmony is nothing more than a hack who got an extremely lucky break early in life, I have to admit that a film has never left me asking that question before.

I don't think the fat girl who shaves off her eyebrows at the end was an actress.

that was a question I had about Kids. Apparently Harmony Korine took several people from real life to fill in the parts and the main players were actual actors. Gummo has the same feeling to it.

I agree, and I also think that she probably has an actual learning disability. Same goes for the chubby blond girl who was being pimped by her brother. It just seems very exploitive to me.
I also think there was very minimal acting in the scene with the two skinhead brothers play fighting, the two redneck boys shooting the boy dressed in the bunny ears (although the kid in the bunny ears was an actor), and when the albino woman talks about her personality and how she wants to find a nice guy to date. I can totally imagine that Harmony offered these people a $100 or something to just talk into the camera, with nothing more than a basic prompt. This could totally apply to the chair wrestling scene, although the main guy, who freaks out after losing in arm-wrestling to the black midget, apparently an actor.
How awkward was that scene where Harmony acts as a homosexual and hits on the black midget? The guy was so clearly an amateur that he couldn't stop from laughing during the entire scene. Well, I guess that hasn't really hurt Jimmy Fallon's career either.
I guess it's impressive that Harmony was ever able to get this movie made, but I feel like most of the scenes were just a result of Harmony hanging out in the trashiest parts of his hometown (Nashville) and paying the most over-the-top people to act as mere stereotypes of themselves on camera.

I saw this Gummo movie once but i was extremely.... lets just say i was out of it at the time. all I remeber was it was a fricked up kind of movie, what was the plot and/or what was it about? The only thing that sticks out to me about it is a wierd arse song being sang by what sounded like an old lady

Yes.
SEC, it's pretty hard to describe the movie. Basically, it focuses on two kids who live in a very poor town in Ohio who kill feral cats and sniff glue in their free time.
There are also lots of scenes that just show other people in the town acting in a bizarre way. The director only used a handful of real actors, and I am fairly sure that some (if not most) of the minor parts in the movie are played by meth addicts or mentally disabled people from the outlying areas of Nashville.
