My stomach was doing cartwheels and my boyfriend just didn't get it -- it's definitely a not-for-females film. I saw the first part of American Psycho recently and couldn’t handle it.

Makes me glad I was still in the My Little Pony and Cabbage Patch Kid set during that time... I agree, Ellis’s writing makes me sick (not that he’s a horrible writer, just the subject matter).

Less than Zero the novel is not cheesy it is disheartening. For eighties nihilism give me Repo Man anyday. I like that brand of light-hearted, confusing, low budget nihilism.

I just had my bf netflix it because he's never seen it and it just arrived a couple of days ago. I love all the cheesy 80's movies, and Less Than Zero has "Christmas in Hollis" on the soundtrack.

That's another f-ed up atrocity exhibition. I pretty much have avoided anything with his stamp on it since. What a freak show... His books are essentially picaresques with horrifyingly amoral characters. Still better than I could do, not that I would. I knew Brett Easton Ellis more for his earlier work Less than Zero.

Easton Ellis is a hack and mediocre writer. I did agree with most of the his music discussions though. Phil Collins sucked after he left Genesis.
