“It’s kind of shocking to see these kind of accolades for — I’m sorry, it’s a not-very-good movie — because of it’s political ideology,” Ellis said. “And it’s so obvious that is what they’re responding to, why it’s considered a masterpiece, the greatest film of the decade, the greatest film ever made. Because it really aligns with this kind of leftist sensibility.”
Is Ellis a chud?
In other news - I know it’s pointless to mention but it really irks me how republicans use “leftist” as a catchall to mean “something to the left of me I hate”. Of course their bugbear could be anything or anybody from Nancy Pelosi to Bernie to us.
Bret: I’m nothing. I’m not a conservative or a liberal. At least in the US, I can’t agree with either of them. I think they’re both completely bonkers. I don’t watch the news anymore. We have the Food Network on all of our TV screens, or video games. I’m done. It’s very hard to follow it when it all seems like a simulacrum, a preordained narrative that is being fed to you. The mainstream press in the United States right now just seems so f*cking fake.
Yeah, that’s why I like Gary Indiana. He’s just the better, lefter version of Bret Easton Ellis that still writes these perfect novels that capture the ridiculous depravity at the heart of USAmerican living.

He’s conflating “liberal” and “leftist”. I think it’s a safe bet.

Rich fuck that recognises they’re both shit but he’s too fucking rich to care about finding alternatives so he just gets to check out
