Movies

I'm a fan; saw it in theaters, bought the DVD, have a poster. But it wasn't a good movie by any rational standard.

Also, B.E.E. books aren't that hard to adaptl. I think that Less than Zero, Rules of Attraction, American Psycho and Zoolander are all very-good to excellent films.

Maybe it's that Ellis' SCREENPLAYS are hard to adapt as most of his script work hasn't made it to the screen, or turned into The Informers.

Well, isn't that movie appropriate for his bond... {nm} eyescovered Apr 06, 15:00

that's a good one :) {nm} daveart Apr 06, 15:11

Wait...the director of THE INFORMERS is working again? sonic_death_monkey Apr 06, 15:12

Wasn't it? :-) Some felt it was pure genius.. Then again, BEE novels seem to be notoriously hard to adapt. {nm} Facto Apr 06, 16:08

Amber Heard = The only reason to watch the movie. {nm} HarryWarden Apr 06, 16:32

She's a very nice young woman. Eloquent and posied when I interviewed her. {nm} sonic_death_monkey Apr 06, 16:33

Not exactly what I was referring to... {nm} HarryWarden Apr 06, 16:34

She actually seems like an idiot when talking about her religious views. Like Scientology weird. {nm} HarryWarden Apr 06, 16:35

Zoolander? I must read up on that one. Btw, now I see what's wrong here - I was thinking about Rules of Attraction (film), not Informers. Facto Apr 06, 18:37

American Psycho is definitely underrated. I'll have to check out Less than Zero. {nm} BionicMoron Apr 06, 18:45

I had a sojourn in Beverly Hills, borrowed a house there back in the fall of '93. Read the book shortly after, and watched the movie again. Facto Apr 06, 19:05

Ah, that jogged my memory as to why I've never checked it out. BionicMoron Apr 06, 19:18

Ok, then chances really are that you won't like it.. ;-) Does it help that they (mini spoiler) Facto Apr 06, 19:57

Zoolander is basically a broad comedy rip off of Glamorama sonic_death_monkey Apr 06, 20:23

Lunar Park was the last BEE book I bought, but never started reading it, even if it's hard cover (or perhaps because it is). Got about half- Facto Apr 06, 20:47

Lunar Park is one of his better novels. sonic_death_monkey Apr 06, 20:57

Thanks for this advice - with so many temptations Facto Apr 06, 21:47

Try listening to the book on tape of American Psycho with friends around sonic_death_monkey Apr 06, 22:19

But if we're just reccomending books now... sonic_death_monkey Apr 06, 22:20
