# That Harmony Korine, He Sure Is a Mixed-up Kid

That Harmony Korine, he sure is a mixed up kid.

The December Harper’s has an extract from an interview with Korine (who
famously wrote “Kids” at eighteen) in which he describes his attempt to
make “Fight”, a Buster Keaton-styled comedy about big guys beating up
little guys. He eventually abandoned the project because he was “getting
really hurt and arrested and weird shit started happening”.

The thing is, in “Fight”, the part of the little guy is played by
Korine, and the fights are real. This strategy has led to several
serious injuries, including a broken left ankle, sustained when a
“fucking bouncer from Stringfellow’s” stomped on in it.

Pretty full-on movie-making that.
