Brett Easton Ellis and Paul Shrader make thriller staring Lohan and male porn star

[Khan]

LD = Lena Dunham?

Yeah I don't quite get why Ellis loves the book so much (and he genuinely does--his insistance on being involved in the movie is not some sort of lark or post modern whim). I like a lot of his writing a *lot* so I'm intrigued, even if I think he's losing it more and more in his personal life (or maybe he's just one of those people who needs to stop tweeting--I suppose I could just stop reading about his boyfriend's habits, always refered to by his age, etc, but...) Somerhalder was a highlight of Attraction.

I'm genuinely a little surprised by all the James Deen love (or even knowledge) whenever this movie comes up, LOL. I mean I don't pretend to be unaware of porn, but I barely even know the names, let alone straight porn stars.

I like Lena Dunham (and I think it's a bit below the belt to insult her looks--she's no Hollywood beauty but she's far more attractive than a million of similar "uncomfortable comedy" male actors). I don't really know 50 Shades of Grey, and that won't change anytime soon, but isn't the female lead meant to be a bit more average?
