Oh, I also walked out mid film from American Psycho. Though it wasn't Ellis' film, American Pie too.

All disgusting, but in different ways.

Meanwhile ... in other BEE news:

Quentin Tarantino and Bret Easton Ellis talk for two hours in new interview — listen
Past controversies, The Hateful Eight, screenwriting, and even The Partridge Family among the many discussion points

Quentin Tarantino and Bret Easton Ellis are no strangers to controversy on their own, but they’ve also stirred up their fair share as a duo. Back in October, Ellis interviewed Tarantino for T Magazine, and an innocuous opinion about Ava DuVernay’s Selma became the focal point of a fresh round of hate against the director. Of course, Ellis has contended that there were plenty of other opinions about other filmmakers that were edited out of the piece, and that other media outlets had largely mischaracterized Tarantino’s remarks.

Bret Easton Ellis goes on a misogynist rant to defend his buddy, accused rapist James Deen
The novelist and podcaster thinks he's the guy to defend James Deen. It predictably goes poorly for him

Daniel Holtzclaw was found guilty of sexual battery on Thursday after 13 separate women accused him, but on Friday, we were reminded that, for some people, women’s words mean so little that a school bus full of accusers will not persuade them to believe a rape accusation. Ten women have accused porn actor James Deen of abuse, charges that Deen denies. Now Deen’s friend and perennial asshole, Brett Easton Ellis, is on the rampage, giving an angry interview to the Hollywood Reporter about why he feels that these ten women’s testimony should be blown off with extreme prejudice.

Ellis may be overrated as a novelist and thinker, but as a rape denialist, he’s a master at the form. In this interview, he expresses two logically incompatible opinions. On one hand he advances the theory that the accusations are mere figments of the hysterical female imagination. But he’s also a fan of the contradictory theory that the accusations are true in a material sense, but should be blown off on the grounds that the accusers had no right to refuse consent.
