This Is Not An Exit

Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

Well, I made a community for the book and movie of Less Than Zero back in November. And because of this community, maybe it would be pretty relevant to talk about it.

If this is not allowed, just delete it. Otherwise, enjoy!

The Informers is set to come out next month!

You can see the unrated (and very NSFW) trailer here.

There do seem to be rumors that the vampire subplot is gone, though. How disappointing.

I'd like to invite anybody interested to join Meat and Bones.


It's a new community created by regularbean and myself ehmaz , dedicated to anything and everything American Psycho. Head on over so you can see the rules post (not as boring as it sounds, trust me!) and get a good grasp on what this community is all about. I didn't see that making comm advertisements was against the rules, but feel free, mods, to delete it if it is. :)

Hey, I have 10 AP quote icons to share...

i do marking and pr for a bookstore in Decatur, GA. just got this mailing from my rep at simon and schuster. not sure from whence it originates. (it also begs the question-that film treatment for molly jong-fast...wha happen?)

2 years ago Jeff Hobbs left New York behind for Los Angeles, moving the day after his wedding when his new wife got a production job. But as the LA Times' Scott Timberg reports, Hobbs didn't completely leave Manhattan behind as it serves as the backdrop for his uber-charmed debut novel THE TOURISTS, already landing the 27 year old great notices from the likes of Los Angeles Magazine that whisper something along the lines of "this is the next GREAT GATSBY."

"There's a wistfulness to it that's missing from a lot of contemporary fiction by people in their 20s," said Bret Easton Ellis, who mentored Hobbs and helped sharpen the novel. "And a sadness that seems very adult, as if Jeff has lived much longer than he actually has. I think that's why it feels like a throwback. The books I see from debut novelists aren't anything like this — they aren't nearly this worldly." As for how that mentoring took place? A mutual friend's doing, and Ellis originally commented on a previous Hobbs manuscript, then worked extensively on what became THE TOURISTS, which Simon & Schuster is publishing today.

In other words, not many writers get this kind of attention, and Hobbs recognizes he's led something of a charmed life. But Timberg finds for someone with that degree of early success - a major-house book contract with little previously published writing, fruitful friendship with famous novelist, rave review in a glossy magazine — his lack of arrogance is almost touching. "I want to apologize to you in advance, actually," he said, almost making eye contact, "because I sit in a room alone all day and mostly talk to my dog." As for writing a contemporary GATSBY, Hobbs was taken aback. "Gatsby," he said, is "kind of a book about a bunch of murderers. But it's thought of as this tragic love story. I'm almost embarrassed by the comparison."

i'd really like to know how, despite the first song on the new bloc party album being titled "song for clay (disappear here)" and the chorus lyrics consisting of "people/are afraid/are afraid to merge/on freeways", i totally had the less than zero references zoom past my head.

and I mean for something other than the naked movies they show after 11PM.

Here's the link for the new show. Which, I just found out, has already been posted previously.

But it looks like he's been really busy. Mr. Ellis just won an IHG Award for best novel and it looks like there are talks with Adam Goldberg for the rights to a Lunar Park movie. Not to mention, he's been overheard as saying he's currently starting another novel...which still means it could be another eight years before the general public sees it.

Who knows? Maybe him breaking his foot and cancelling his tour was a good thing after all.
