"In "Less Than Zero", Robert Downey Jr. and I both decided that our two guys had been lovers at one point. It wasn't referred to at all, but that was the one choice made in that film that I ended up being pleased with, because it informed everything that happened. There's a certain understanding between two people who've been lovers that's not there in two people who haven't."

Woke up this morning with this on my ibis paint, don’t remember drawing it. Rewatching Rules of Attraction rn. Want to actually do a full rendered drawing at some point but i hate rendering :( In other news the copy of Less than Zero I had on hold in the library is finally available so excited to read it. Glamorama isn’t in yet tho :( I need to work on edits too but they take so long (not really i’m just lazy.)

Less Than Zero: in the decadent Los Angeles scene, a once inseparable trio dissolves shortly after high school graduation! Julian Wells, the wildcard of the group with a growing drug problem, is brilliantly portrayed by Robert Downer Jr.

Are you a bored, rich, white person who covers up your horribly empty and soulless existence with casual sex, drugs, and alcohol? Congratulations, you are a character in a Bret Easton Ellis novel.

"To figure out a character, I try to look for something that's not in the screenplay—a little secret they carry around with them. Sometimes it's allowed to show itself, sometimes it isn't, yet it's always there.

It wasn't referred to at all, but that was the one choice made in that film that I ended up being pleased with, because it informed everything that happened.

-Less Than Zero, Bret Easton Ellis

In the prison under the castle Allaze, in the dark, moldy cells where the greatest criminals in Mellinor spent the remainder of their lives counting rocks to stave off madness, Eli Monpress was trying to wake up a door.
