Y2K Style: Check out these 2000’s inspired outfits
It has been two long years since the last public, but after much waiting and anticipation, McMurtry finally held the first public of the year this past Saturday March 26: Y2K. Donning butterfly clips and fishnet, jerseys and glitter, Rice students drew inspiration from decades-olds trends for the party. The Rice community submitted their best 2000’s-inspired outfits from the weekend to the Thresher for us to compile.
Saanya Bhargava
McMurtry College junior
Inspiration: “For my Y2K outfit, I decided to cut the McMurtry Y2K shirt to make it look cute, used rainbow elastics for my bubble braids, wore bell-bottom jeans and glitter eyeshadow! The hair totally reminded me of my childhood.”
Ariah Richards
McMurtry College freshman
Inspiration: “Showing midriff and wearing sunglasses”
Caleb Dukes
Lovett College senior
Inspiration: “My childhood meets the classic butterfly clip girl.”
Jazmine Castillo
McMurtry College junior
Inspiration: “My inspiration was emo/pop punk subculture. Layers, multiple textures/patterns, all in black of course.”

Review: ‘Suzume’ is a thrilling, endearing, and at times dark ode to Japan
Makoto Shinkai clearly has a specialty — the “Your Name” and “Weathering With You” director is often said to make the same movie over and over again. It’s true that the three most recent entries in his filmography have all been fantastical, coming-of-age melodramas centered around some sort of ecological disaster, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Audiences know what they’re getting with a Shinkai film: gorgeously-rendered anime vistas, strong female leads and an emotionally-charged storyline guaranteed to make viewers feel something. While it doesn’t reach the poignancy of “Your Name,” Shinkai’s newest film “Suzume” is one of the highlights in his œuvre.
Review: IVE embraces confidence on 'I’ve IVE’
After an incredibly successful debut year in 2022, IVE released their debut album “I’ve IVE” to the excitement of fans around the world. Last year, IVE put out two single albums, which are shorter, two to three track projects within K-pop. The sampling of Gloria Gaynor’s classic track “I Will Survive” in “After LIKE” and the moodier sound of “LOVE DIVE” show two distinct sides of the group that are expanded upon in their debut full-length release.
Review: Nicolas Cage as Dracula is a national treasure
“Renfield” is a 2023 comedy-horror film centering Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicolas Hoult as Renfield, Dracula’s loyal assistant. My comments on this movie should be prefaced by an acknowledgment of my bias; I absolutely adore Nicolas Cage as an actor. I could watch Mr. Cage do nothing but down an entire Subway Italian without him uttering a word and I would be absolutely enthralled, clinging to the edge of my seat. The subtle facial expressions, the charming yet hungry eyes, and the absolute Adonis of a body that Nicolas Cage possesses could make any film connoisseur faint at just a glimpse. Even taking into consideration my love for Cage’s acting in both his amazing and amazingly terrible works, “Renfield” is another absolute banger of a movie on nearly every level.
