this is a GDI’s view of frat world tbh. clearly an attempt to indict the culture, but for me looked like an ape throwing feces at another ape. has no vocabulary for toxic masculinity besides base profanities and “ill lay you out if you say that again bro.” so lame and stupid. if the writers had spent a second in any frat they’d know brothers spend more time playing FIFA and heating up pizza rolls than spanking prostitutes and snorting coke anyway

The Virgin Suicides 1999
i think this movie is cursed with being forever under-appreciated. for me, it is one of the great works about youth, one of the great works about memory, and one of the great works about boys being idiots. i find it entrancing and lovely, yet it staggers me.
this time around, i was especially struck by how the movie blends objectivity and subjectivity. Megan Abbott’s Criterion essay unlocked that lens for me, and it revealed entirely new layers of the movie. it’s mature and wise, but also young and exciting and just plain rad—Sofia Coppola at her best
