Hey look! It's the first three pictures from Gregg Araki's new film, Kaboom! (via) Let us look upon them with our eyes that are in our heads.
That's the film's lead played by Thomas Dekker front and center in all the shots. He's what the words "pretty, vacant" were invented for. But maybe Araki can use him wisely. Hrm. Anyway I wrote up this movie previously right here, but now we've got a more thorough a synopsis:
"A hyper-stylized TWIN PEAKS for the Coachella Generation, featuring a gorgeous, super hot young cast, KABOOM is a wild and sex-drenched horror-comedy thriller that tells the story of Smith, an ambisexual 18-year-old college freshman who stumbles upon a monstrous conspiracy in a seemingly idyllic Southern California seaside town...
Smith's everyday life in the dorms - hanging out with his arty, sarcastic best friend Stella, hooking up with a beautiful free spirit named London, lusting for his gorgeous but dim surfer roommate Thor - all gets turned upside-down after one fateful, terrifying night. Tripping on some hallucinogenic cookies he ate at a party, Smith is convinced he's witnessed the gruesome murder of an enigmatic Red Haired Girl who has been haunting his dreams."
Enigmatic red-haired girl? Uh... what is this, Charlie Brown?It is! It's an "ambisexual" and "sex-drenched" take on Charlie Brown! Mystery solved!
God I'm amazing.

Smith, Stella, London, Thor... the names alone have convinced me that this will be terrible.
Ah you can't really judge an Araki movie on the basis of characters names though. I mean, what would Smiley Face be without it's Brevin? Where would Splendor have gone without Abel and Zed? Imagine a world without The Doom Generation's trio of Xavier Red, Amy Blue and Jordan White! This flick appears to be a return to his old 90s kinda movie, at least on the surface, so a cavalcade of ridiculous LA names is in order.
So, does he get to play with Thor's hammer? It looks like it could be bad-good fun. I should point out that I really like "Dude where's my car" so my standards may be low.
