The Black Table Calls Ellis 'Stale'
The Black Table has an interview with Maer Roshan, the editor-in-chief of Radar Magazine (where Ellis writes DVD reviews). There is one question that refers to Bret Easton Ellis' contribution to the mag, and it isn't pleasant:You are a startup magazine, with the budgetary restraints that inevitably come with that, yet you're still running tried-and-true, easy-cash-for-little-effort, "name" writers like Anthony Haden-Guest, Candace Bushnell and Bret Easton Ellis, who, frankly, was already stale when he was flopping around at Gear three years ago.I never saw any of Ellis' work from Gear Magazine, but from what I understand, he was a film critic for them. Much like his current role for Radar, this seems to be a horrible waste of his talents. Perhaps Ellis feels stale in magazines because he is so limited by whats being asked of him.

Makes me wonder who the interviewer was who felt the need to toss these two worthless cents in, and who the hell does he/she - a writer for a magazine I have never heard of - think they are saying such things about a truly successfull and critically acclaimed author?
Sorry to rant!
