Bret Easton Ellis isn’t one to shy away from red-hot takes and left-of-the-dial commentary. For years now, the acclaimed writer of Less Than Zero and American Psycho has been constructing motions with his titular podcast, burning his thumb on most of the current trends leading throughout pop culture.
Recently, he turned heads for his comments on the the possibilities of Black Panther being nominated for an Oscar, rhetorically requesting his listeners,” Does it certainly deserve one ?” It should be noted that he recorded the chapter a good five days before the nominations were announced of which the cinema received seven, including Best Picture.
“No superhero movie has ever gotten a Best Draw nomination ,” Ellis argued.” But think you are, Disney is doing everything in its strength got to make sure this happens. Even though there is no one out here in La La Land I’ve gratified who sees Black Panther is that good as a movie. Hitherto, as a piece of representation, they are supporting it .”
” The presentation press and the studio is selling the notion that Black Panther is a glorious fragment of cinematic art that cannot be ignored ,” he continued.” And this notion is being shoved down our throats and we can only smile in skepticism. Or perhaps understand that this is just the moment we’re caught in. A joke, a swindle. It’s all imitation news, folks .”
