@ReelPervert They’re like cargo but high waisted and really short but unflattering and deeply uncomfortable looking but also weirdly casual. Ugly ugly shorts.
Don’t really get at Greg Araki’s “the youth aren’t dating or having sex!” Line works with the movie where the kid apparently has a girlfriend he sleeps with (played by Charlie XCX no less) and an affair with his boss, sounds like a pretty boilerplate erotic thriller parody tbh.
I think this character is the key to Emerald Fennell’s ethos
Specifically: even as her movies proudly indulge the woman- child in the audience (bright colors, teen pop music, Y2K throwbacks, hot guys who look like boy band members) the woman-child herself is partly grotesque
Look I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t think the opening scene of Wuthering Heights 2026 absolutely rips.
Pure adolescent anti social RsC joy (and the best use of music in the movie)
