Hello, everyone! 

The Birds' Nest: The BEST Y2K Films

  by Sienna Axe , Zac Bentz , & Morgan S tone   (image source) Morgan: One of my favorite parts of films from the 2000s has to be the fashion. There is something about seeing the bright colors, the layering, the gaudy accessories - they just do something to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the music, the cheesy animation, the jump cuts, but there's something about how this fashion has influenced the person I have become. Where would I be without Daphne's violet and purple fits in Scooby-Doo (2002)? What if I had never seen Mean Girls ? The fashion was pink, bright, often unabashedly feminine, and sometimes just simply ugly. I love it. I love it so much. Sienna: The 2000s were a beautiful time! I mean that! I think everyone has a special place in their hearts for the decade that taught them what "cool" looked like, no matter how misguided it may have been. And the effects are so crazy—it's so wonderful to watch a whole industry try (and fail) to really test
