The Informers clip 3

In such works as Less Than Zero and American Psycho Brett Easton Ellis brilliantly dissects contemporary American society, a culture in which too much is never enough. Now, adapting his own acclaimed novel for the screen, he returns to the Los Angeles of the early 1980s with a multi-strand narrative that deftly balances a vast array of characters who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con).
Connecting all his intertwining strands are the quintessential Ellis protagonists—a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs—and one another—with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano. Filmed with uncommon glamour and grit by acclaimed Australian director Gregor Jordan (Ned Kelly, Buffalo Soldiers), The Informers is an alternately blistering and chilling portrait of hedonism run amuck.
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Winona Ryder, Amber Heard, Rhys Ifans, Brad Renfro, Jon Foster.

I LOVE Bret's novel: The Informers (along with Less Than Zero and Lunar Park really hit home with me). I must have read it ten times since it came out in '94. After the first reading, I had to write him, and he actually wrote me back, a full single page, typewritten and hand-addressed. That was the best. I still get all stupid and happy about it, but fuck it.

I could never share someone with somebody else, but I understand the whole lifestyle, it's just not for me. I can tell by the look on his face that he is now realizing he has feelings for her. He has to be my favorite character. =] I love his jacket he wears on and off during most of the movie.

@229095 : I love Bret's novel too! So witty, intelligent, both dark and funny. Lunar Park is the best, imo, it's more than just a tribute to Stephen King. It's something new, different from any other novel I've ever read. I'm really looking forward to reading Bret's next work. I can understand how do you feel about that letter, there's nothing stupid about it :)

i remember seeing the movie and couldnt really get into it. however it did do a great job of capturing the essence of the 80s. it was a time where basically anything went.

eriod. nothing was sacred

@229095 That is such a nice gesture. Oh, be "stupid and happy about it", because you are so entitled!

Jon Foster's style in this film is nice, too.

I've only read Less than Zero by BEE. Very hardhitting.

I love this scene, great one liner "gram, your forgetting something, we're both sleeping with martin."

Thanks! Yeah, it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime "little" things....I had to put it in an 81/2 x 11 Mylar sleeve and everything!
