He's ALWAYS complaining about the film versions of his novels. Yet he keeps on selling the rights? I say, enjoy your money Mr. Ellis and shut your pie hole. Cry baby. FIFTY SHADES OF SELL-OUT.

You think, what do you want?
You think, make a decision...

Posted: 8/11/12 at 7:32pmI greatly enjoyed his more recent novel LUNAR PARK, but personally he seems to be turning into the Gen-X version of Elton John: A really embittered queen who is just not turned on by utilizing his own talent anymore and thus gets his kicks being mouthy and "controversial".

Posted: 8/11/12 at 10:30pmI'm kind of boggled anyone thinks there's some kind of artistic statement or integrity to be defended here in the first place. It's freaking 50 Shades of Grey. I think fanfic can be fantastic, literary even, but...this is not one of those instances.

What's mind-blowing to me about this whole non-issue is that the voices rooting for Matt Bomer to play this virile, sexual guy are coming from the MAINSTREAM. This was unthinkable when I was growing up.
And one of the voices that wants to pick it apart comes from the sexual fringes.
When I hear about women finding Bomer sexy long after he's out or hear straight women talk openly about how, for instance, they may find Peter Dinklage sexy, I can't help but wonder if the mainstream's sexual tastes and imaginations have moved far beyond the butch/buff/big dick ethos that gay culture seems to be stuck in.

GREAT one, Leto Fan....
perhaps after seeing Perez Hilton now all evolved and touchy-feely on 1 GIRL 5 GAYS, BEE feels his sting has a vacuum to fill.
