*my bad to Jackie Earle Haley for misspelling his name in the alt text

William Atherton plays completely opposite to his 80s personality, along w/ Karen Black, Donald Sutherland, Geraldine Page, Billy Barty, Jackie Earle Haley, Bo Hopkins...it's a wildly great cast. Toss on BARTON FINK and MULHOLLAND DRIVE after to finish off a surreal Hollywood is Hell triple feature.

THE DAY OF THE LOCUST is a neo-noir, a period movie, and a genuine noir as the first adaptation of Nathaniel West's quintessential "Hollywood is Hell" novel. All about grasping actors, grasping fans and what a weird, broken, perverse town Hollywood is. William Atherton leads a stacked cast. Classic.

From the 1975 adaptation of Nathaniel West's 1939 novel of the same name, The Day of the Locust: Karen Black as Faye Greener with Donald Sutherland as Homer Simpson; Goya-like visions of Hollywood citizens as demonic entities; William Atherton as Tod Hackett caught in a riot; Jackie Earle Hayley as Adore Loomis in a Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit

And now you're going to say you've never heard of Danielle Baen, Lulu Orbit, or Suzanne Tor

It's a helluva stretch to say an automated beer dispenser is "pouring a drink"

Love the fact that these things that move like Mickey Rooney holding an aspirin between his knees are supposed to walk dogs and mind kids, two groups known for never being rambunctious in any way
