Oh, l'amour
The Leafblower has been excerpting some choice passages from 'Glamorama' by Brett Easton Ellis, reminding me what a cool read the book is. The lists and lists and lists of glam people and bars and designer jeans and pop-pop-pop-culture, baby. So excellent.
Inspired by the news of the upcoming flick based on the novel and directed by Roger Avary, I watched 'Rules of Attraction', an earlier Avary/Ellis project.
It stars James Van Der Beek...and my oh my, Dawson's all grown-up and plays a very good very bad boy. Hmmm.
There are lots of memorable moments and music in 'Rules...', but my favorite may be the hyper-kinetic Victor in Europe sequence. Excellent montage work. Yes, Avary is certainly a pupil of Tarrantino.
