IT SUCKS COOOOOOOOOOOOOCK

This fucking film. This film is the most perfect representation of a Bret Easton Ellis book, the style is uncanny. It is disjointed, it is meandering and there are no good people, but that's fine.

This film brought Shannyn Sossamon to my attention (she's never far from it now), it had Ian Sommerholder before he was EVERYWHERE with his creepy eyes, tiny Jay Baruchel, James Van Der Beek's best acting role (it really opened my eyes and taught me to not be judgemental just because someones been in something corny).

The camerawork is excellent and experimental, the split screens the jumps in time the backwards work is all flawless and just suits the work to a tee. The dialogue is spot on, just everything man.

Plus you know, TOMANDANDY.

(p.s kip pardue)

A brilliantly made film.

This is probably America's Trainspotting.

Roger Avary shows some very exciting direction. The cast are all excellent and together they bring us a breathtaking story told in breathtaking style.

Around 4am last night Richard & I decided that watching Rules of Attraction would be interesting with the commentary of everyone's least favorite comedian Carrot Top and while what he contributed to the film wasn't interesting, it WAS most certainly, absolutely 100% revolting, but I haven't laughed that much in a long time, sure, the laughing was more to ease some of the uncomfortable & icky feelings associated with picturing Carrot Top salivating over all of the women in the movie & saying things like "Need a computer with a hole in it, glad i'm not the only one masturbating to internet porn," but whatever, I don't know, sometimes you make bad decisions that late at night and sometimes you're too tired to mind.

rules of atraction/don’t trust the b in apartment 23 double feature

*DVD Commentary Track w/ Shannyn Sossamon, Theresa Wayman, Kip Pardue & Clifton Collins Jr.

Not sure why I watched this to the end. My mistake.

3/4

This movie is totally absurd and the tone jumps all over the place. I love how stupid it can get and I think that it's one of the best representations of a Bret Easton Ellis book I've ever seen. So much of this is upsetting but they have a lot of fun with the editing. A nostalgic favorite and Shannyn <3

Scavenger Hunt #45 - December: [3/30]
              ↳ Task #18  |  Watch a film starring a cast member of the TV show Lost

only wanted to watch this movie simply bc ian somerhalder was in it but then I got excited when I realized james van der beek was in it but then i was disappointed by all the flaws in the movie (if this was irl most of these things are unforgivable to me) but what saved it was victor’s monologue and it got a like for that too idk pls no one hate me I’m tired it’s 2 am

I'll give it to Roger Avary, this is better than "Killing Zoe."

This is kind of like Avary's "Requiem for a Dream", but nowhere near as bleak and hopeless. He's doing a "backwards" gimmick throughout the whole film, which accomplishes the "out of order" effect of Tarantino's library, but without any sense of subtly. Also, there's a scene where a character discusses an unnamed Tarantino film. Can you imagine Tarantino having a character of his talk about a Roger Avary film?

College is a societally sanctioned space that hopes to burn off the pent up aggression and youthful sociopathy of its attendants. It rarely works and almost always exacerbates these issues /:

impeccable soundtrack.
