While we go into this Homework assignment on different sides of the fence, Moreno definitely steps up to the plate in making this film more interesting than I thought possible. He does so with details about the book, insights on the directorial methods of Roger Avary, and tons of info about the extended Bret Easton Ellis universe which includes the spin-off novel, Glamorama. Still, he has no excuse for the single tear that escapes Dawson’s enormous head at the end of the movie. Nobody does.
Whether we’re discussing the breakout performance of Jessica Biel, or why Sean Bateman decides to kill himself after talking to a girl one time in a hallway, Moreno does his best to make sense of it all for me.
This is a conversation not to be missed if you’re a fan of the film, or if you don’t quite get what’s going on half the time. Just talking to Moreno made me like the film a little more than before. I think they might owe him some money (cocaine).
