I read Less than Zero when I was 16 and coke addled. It made me reevaluate my life. Then I went to the mall. I had a cheeseburger in the food court. I went to a party that night. I think somebody got stabbed there.

>Bret Easton Ellis is setting the bar impossibly high with the debut episode of this new podcast, "The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast". (Podcasts: post-Empire, apparently.) His guest is none other than Kanye West, who joined him to chat about movies, binge-watching Breaking Bad with Kim Kardashian, defying age, and a lot more.

I only read American Psycho, but after the appeal of the absurd edginess wore off (it did not take more than a few chapters for it to do so) I found it difficult to continue. I do not see myself reading another one of his works; I didn't feel myself benefiting at all except for the opportunity to masturbate to the scene of him walking around with a decapitated head hanging off of his erect cock

Next you'll be trying to convince me that Fat Pizza is good.

Face it, The Castle is the only time an Australian comedy in a low-socioeconomic setting has actually worked, and nobody has managed to do anything but ride its tattered coattails through mud and shit ever since.
