OK, I can’t stand Bret Easton Ellis (who wrote The Canyons) because he’s become an anti-gay Twitter troll, but I kind of hope the movie does well, if for no other reason than to give traditional Hollywood HUGE-budget filmmaking a kick in the pants. With such huge budgets in play it seems no one is willing to make movies that aren’t tried-and-true formulas, superhero flicks and remakes. And to see how the press handles a porn star leading man in a successful film. (The NYT article made James Deen sound like the most professional-behaving person on the set.) That appears to be the scene where Lindsay Lohan commented that she was used to that sort of thing from her dad, who was apparently physically abusive.

FWIW I met Tommy Lee Jones a few times many years ago and he’s an unmitigated asshole.
