Less than Christmas
Posted in Bret Easton Ellis, Holiday Ideas, Los Angeles on December 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
A few days ago, I spoke about how most of my Christmas lessons were learned from Aaron Spelling. The others were gleamed from Bret Easton Ellis. His Less Than Zero was A Christmas Carol for a generation that would rather do coke than eat gruel. While I have my qualms with the film adaptation of [...]
“I have to return some videotapes!”

I was reading EW.com and saw this article about my favorite author, Bret Easton Ellis writing the screenplay for Downer’s Grove. Here’s what I wonder: I know he’s just adapting the story, but will he inject some of his trademark touches in there? For instance, will everyone be drinking Tab and watching videos on [...]

Okay, so I am a little late, but how many of you actually read House of Hilton anyway? (Well, I guess some of you have it in your Amazon.com shopping cart.)

Now granted Brenda was galivanting around France with Donna and Reeek! Dean Cain, but still Dylan was cheating on her with her best friend. (Besides it’s not like [...]

So I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The O.C. never lived up to the promise it showed in its first seven episodes, or the so-called summer kickoff season. I was initially against The O.C. on principal; I’m a staunch 90210 fan and I avoided Dawson’s Creek for the same reason, even if [...]

Growing up, I always wanted to live in Kelly Taylor’s house. It was so large and modern and filled with late eighties/early nineties furnishings. It’s what I imagined Clay’s house looking like in the book Less than Zero as opposed to the film of the same name that retained some of the characters but added [...]
