The ultimate marriage of high and low

One of my favorite authors, Bret Easton Ellis (king of disillusioned decadence, desolation and depravity) on The Hills:

I’m holding off on Season 4 right now. I started watching a bit of it, but I’m waiting until the DVD comes out because I want to see it all so beautifully mastered. Even if you download the show there is that irritating MTV logo in the corner. It doesn’t work for me that way. It has to be on a big screen with the sound right up. It blows me away…I’m sorry, but whoever invented HEIDI MONTAG and SPENCER PRATT are just…nothing matches it. I’ve never see L.A. look more beautiful in a work of art. There are no movies that are as beautiful as that.

Who says American culture is rapidly decaying, anyway?
