I love seeing Bret. Always a fresh perspective.
Soooo interesting, thank you for the post. 🤗👏
A bit of balance there,a great writer and a decent person, it's so nice to see your influences not let themselves down and be themselves,noice 👍
this was filmed after his 8:30 rez at Dorsia
JP W Bret only stayed until 8:47 because he had to return some red box dvds
Nobody goes there anymore.
Great Sea Urchin ceviche.
"That's not clickbait, that's not going to sale an article," very true.
King
he's brilliant!
Great interview
Brilliant man
always very perceptive
Bret despite writing such narcissistic, borderline, and/or histrionic characters-Is highly empathetic. And I think that actually helps him understand these people.
10:57 being generally dissociative "might" be related to stress and anxiety?
I quit Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Also fear Google.

So Christian Bale portrayed Bret in American Psycho? Hilarious.
Yeah whatever you say.
Bradley Paul Valentine I don’t think you get me. Look at Bret’s mannerisms, the way he talks and his gestures and expressions. Then watch a scene of American Psycho. You will get what I mean.
@@psalms2358Tom Cruise gave Christian Bale the inspiration to play Patrick Bateman
a lovely man
A crazed penny wise townie
I respect the hell out of Bret, but I couldn't disagree more with him at 4:46
"Winter Soldier" is my favorite comic film partly BECAUSE it's deriding an all-encompassing police state.
That would be the "Marvel displays qualms" part. But that they always go back to status quo, which is true.
I agree with Bret. However I disagree in the sense of "so what?" The MCU is not meant to be an expression of how its creators wish life to be in real life. Same for Dirty Harry. I like seeing a guy kick ass in the same of righteousness, but I would shudder if Dirty Harry were out there in reality.
@@BradleyPaulValentine Dork.
I love when people treat mcu films like complex pieces of art and not just a bunch a frivolous fun
His homosexual lover is gen y.
That's not a real thing.
Bradley Paul Valentine It is. People born in 1979 are not Millenials.
Gen Y is just another word for millienial.
Millenials think they know what they don’t know. Things came easy to them. They didn’t have to research, do their homework, or look at both sides. Basically, they’re just ignorent and uninformed.
Haha what gen are you, buddy?
This is very true about millennials, and even more so now about Gen Z. The amount of females on social media who are "experts", "scientists", "lawyers", "aero technicians", "pro athletes" and are so didactic and self important when they're regurgitating the same things they've read on Wiki or a Buzzfeed, usually with whatever monkey see monkey do dance is trending. They are the true definition of ultracrepidarianism
Whatever boomer!
Yea Good one
Wow don't get me wrong, I love Bret Easton Ellis' work, I've read Less than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, The Informers, and Lunar Park and enjoyed all of them thoroughly but he's really an idiot these days! I wasn't aware of what he's been up to until his recent book, White, was released and I saw a review for it. After that I read an interview he did, which pretty much confirmed what the article had been saying about what a hypocrite he is.
Why don't you read the book and make your own mind up ?
Lol you’re mad that Bret Easton Ellis is pointing out the bullshit of the Left now
What did it say? How is he a hypocrite?
This guy is the worst
Just gonna leave it at that huh?
@@treborkroy5280 That's all he's got. He lives in such a wonderful country that this lovely writer is his definition of the worst. May we all face such shallow adversity.
@@BradleyPaulValentine 🤣👏📚👍!
I used to think that BRET EASTON ELEPHANT was a genius until I seen a an interview with him (here on CZcams by the way, which I believe has been removed), when he was at a book store explaining that 'I COULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT AT THE TIME, BUT AMERICAN PSYCHO WAS ABOUT ME FEELING ANGRY & LONELY'..................... well i've felt those emotions countless times in my life, but I've never thoought of mutilating women and ripping their genitals off with my teeth............... so if the book is about Bret (like he confessed) then BRET IS INFACT A TRUE BLUE PSYCHOPATH.
I mean it really just seems like a ploy to stay relevant after imperial bedrooms flopped, but I think it's too little to late. Let's be honest, Bret hasn't been relevant for well over 18 years and you can see it in the number of views he's picking up on all his interviews on CZcams here.
Ratio
He is a published author, man. I'm sure he doesn't really care about clicks on CZcams.
A bad writer talking about irrelevant things
Yeah sure the guy who wrote American Paycho, Glamorama & The Rules Of Attraction is a "bad writer" according to a nobody on CZcams 🤣
@@wolfstar675 you are damn right… and also did you notice: Armin Korda found some time and energy in his/her life to write something about a writer he/she finds BAD! Ah… Trolls on CZcams are amazing : they never cease to surprise me 🤣🤦🏻♀️🙄👎!
Yet you feel the need to comment on the bad writers irrelevant interview
As a leftie (and also a child of the mid-60s) I had a lot of agreement with his ideas in "White"
That’s really interesting, what were some points you were in agreement with?
@@erniereyes1994 what a bunch of pussies most millennials are, the fact that we grew up in a more tolerant society (to a certain extent, XXX films were mainstream but we saw less nudity than you see today, but I digress you haven't even read the book
@@mirkovic that’s true. I’m a millennial, but I can’t stand the “culture” these days. Gen Z, forget about it
