Party Monster

Recently Sam and I managed to catch a 'Directors Chair' screening (meaning take an 'arthouse' film that was only on general release for like a week, and then show it one evening when there's fuck all else on) of Party Monster.
This was something we'd both wanted to see and missed, so were glad when we got the chance.

Party Monster tells the tale of the rise of club kid Michael Alig, played here by Macaulay Culkin.

We'd both seen a documentary on the events surrounding Alig a while back, so knew what to expect, and basically knew everything that happened.

I still really enjoyed the film, filling in the bits that the documentary didn't actually have footage on (funilly enough), using James St James' Disco Bloodbath as a plot source.

There are some odd moments within the film that transferred really well to the screen in the over the top manner and style that they were actually done in.

I'd recommend that anyone who doesn't have a clue what I'm on about check this film, or the book, or the 'shockumentary' out. Even if just for the pure 'What the fuck??' factor.

Seth Green made the film for me, with his camper than Christmas acting.
Culkin still looks about ten though.
