Bret Eason Ellis is baffled by how popular "One Battle After Another" is given what he thinks is a "liberal mustiness" that makes the film feel dated.

    Is Ellis a chud?

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

      Per this interview https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/02/06/bret_easton_ellis_gen_x_is_the_most_conservative_of_the_generations_because_we_had_the_most_freedom.html

      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.
