We Need Bret Easton Ellis’ Twitter Rants During Our Clubby Awards Season
December, 07, 2012 10:02 am | Comments On #Bret Easton Ellis, Kathryn Bigelow, Movies, twitterBret Easton Ellis is a liar.
I know this for a fact because the last time I saw him, at Jason Blum’s house at an early screening of “Paranormal Activity,” he lied to me. I asked him if he was writing, and he shook his head: “Screenplays for horror movies, and I’m drinking a lot. That’s sort of where I’m at, man.”

Dear Chairman Dodd:
First, may I congratulate you on your new job as chairman of the MPAA and salute your many years of service to the people of Connecticut and to all Americans. I have long been a fan.
I am writing today as a union movie publicist representing an independent feature film that is currently shooting in and around (and boosting the economy of) Wilmington, N.C. Between some recent deadly storms, the dedicated and talented cast and crew of “Hick” has also had to dodge some flak of a different sort from a woman who purports to know something about “Hollywood Life”: Bonnie Fuller and her HollywoodLife.com website.
Bonnie Fuller’s Hollywood Life is by nature an obfuscation: Fuller lives and works in New York, not Hollywood, knows everything about the publishing...
