How to be Fabulous (Party Monster)

[@headoverheels88]

Seth Green is legitimately one of the few straight actors who can play gay without being offensively stereotypical. This is so crazy authentic.

[@chuckdixon3398]

That's a little stereotypical, though. I mean, when you think of gay guys, it's very close to the way he performed.

[@headoverheels88]

@@chuckdixon3398 Well when I think of gay guys, such as myself plus the people who I surround myself with, I find it very authentic, especially for a straight cis man.

[@chuckdixon3398]

@@headoverheels88 I googled the real James St. James and I found him even campier than the one played by Seth. Now, I actually think Seth could have acted even more flamboyant that would still be fine.

[@headoverheels88]

@@chuckdixon3398 Well you have your opinion, stranger. I - a mind-blowingly flamboyant gay man - disagree. No amount of Google searches will validate your opinion.

[@chuckdixon3398]

@@headoverheels88 You mean my visual observation in a natural setting will not validate my opinion about him? I have my definition of flaboyance and you have yours. Another world view is that I don't think flamboyance is something you are, it's something you do. And, as I said before, it's fine, stranger.

This was my and my best friends favorite scene. When we went raving we always screamed WE FOUND EACHOTHER! While going round the rooms. Most people didn't understand. Only a few that saw this movie. My friend passed away last year on August 8. I miss him so dearly.

[@MrPikminlord]

"Never take heroin." The one part he didn't obey.

He also didn't follow the part about avoid "him like the plague" pointing at the owner of club Limelight

[@DubsOdyssey]

I actually liked this movie Its different from what I usually watch, and I really like Seth Green in this movie

[@treehuggerdude4]

DubsOdyssey Yea, as an actor he showed depth and versatility. I was surprised. The way he portrayed the character was fearless yet vulnerable and believable.

[@Imagirlk]

He's playing the character...if you've seen the interviews with the real micheal alig you wouldn't think he was such a bad actor. I thought he was over acting at first too but I watched the interviews and he does a really good job. He captured just HOW MUCH of a character michael actually was/is.

[@Wolfsheim23]

That is so true! Just lookup any of Michael's appearances on Talk Shows and anything in the movie is way way toned down compared to the Real thing. They were Obnoxious! I remember Michael in person too. He came through Dallas with his Entourage hitting all our raves and I used to throw raves at the time, and you just could never forget The Club Kids. They were like Killer Clowns from Outer Space. They stood out everywhere they went. Michael met his GF too at Canton Street Warehouse in Dallas back in the 90s

[@cwjames9405]

Yea, i heard that MC spoke with alig in prison and took notes on his mannerisms and was actually toning it down at 1st but the director and other people behind the movie wanted him to be more extravagant with the role or in this case, more Fabulous.Either way i really enjoyed both green and MC. the movie and soundtrack are great. Still havnt read the book though

[@cwjames9405]

although i think it was micheal alig who told that story in an interview, maybe MC was spot on and alig is not use to seeing a mirror of him

[@wilmervalderrama8871]

Seth Green is perfect as James st James, and also Wilmer Valderrama as Superstar DJ Keoki.

[@ignazs.5816]

I hate wilmer Valderrama. Most overrated person in Hollywood. Should've stayed in Venezuela.

[@anthonyhernandez3569]

Why you mad bro? 😂

[@MissFlux]

I did like the movie ,, but as someone who was part of the "club kid" scene in Sydney Aust in late 89's and all through the 9o's & a tad into the naughty's.. this movie TOTALLY romanticized the crap out of the scene .. BUT I will say that there were WONDERFUL people & wonderful times, but there was a lot of darkness & death. Being in a family of 12-40 people is an amazing experience but there is always a bad apple or 2 or 3 or ,, you get my drift. So I have affection for the movie & was very excited waiting for it to come out & it gave me nostalgia. It was all MUCH grubbier .. rubbish everywhere back in those days. By 6-7am the streets were just garbage EVERYWHERE, McDonalds & kebab wrapper, needles, condoms, money, drugs even .. just a wasteland of the night before. ... and finally James was even more fabulous than portrayed ... oh I luff him so much. It's amazing how many of us did make it out alive & disease free for the extra lucky ones. James is certainly one of them :) xxx Ps: yes ths is a great scene in the movie :))

[@EsWichstDerFlava]

And abused kids? m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6bWm4aNd9OLe5Y

[@ignazs.5816]

Maybe your scene was similar but you can't compare Sydney to New York. Totally different and way cooler. Sydney is not known for this era in time.

Michael you were obviously not listening. Didn't James tell you NEVER TAKE HEROINE.

[@Ferdie333]

True. Heroine it's a hell of drug.

[@sirbuffalo]

This movie is brilliant. People keep complaining about the acting, but I think they're missing a lot of crucial points here, especially who the characters are and the style they were going for. Black comedy of sorts, which actually works. It's unique and that's what I love about it. Wish Macaulay did more roles like these and Seth was amazing.

[@wackity.7879]

Seth Green made this film.

[@thefearedESK]

The acting in this movie is so excellent that it shouldn't be so overlooked. Unfortunately..it's issues are quite glaring elsewhere.

[@COLovesYou1]

I watched this movie just to see what Macaulay Culkin would be like as an adult actor... I actually really liked it.

So true. You always spend half the night looking for a friend in the club

[@RoguishBlonde]

it would be a horrible movie, but because seth green is in it, and has a bunch of great lines, and is just brilliant, and adorable...i just can't stop watching it

[@missxxfrankiexxd]

For anyone saying his acting career bombed I hope you know it didn't, he quit when he was 14 because his parents split up and where having a HUGE custody battle which made them almost bankrupt. He said he wasn't acting again until they learned to act like adults, I believe he also had to give them money to help them get rid of ther debts.

[@soyburglar77]

Seth nailed it.

an absolutely fabulous clip,lol!you know what they say,"Flattery will get you everywhere."!

[@gabbyb7347]

Seth Green's character needs his own movie.

[@meowblue7893]

the style and colour palette of this movie is amazing. The main problem it has is the framing. Like 1:55 why did they zoom in on Michael's face when it's a body movement shot... A lot of weird choices. A guilty pleasure movie non the less

OK, in this movie, there is a scene where Michael Alig discusses his childhood while on his bed, and James throws him off and bed and claims to be "The hero of the story", then there will is a stop motion scene of the New York skyline, upon which James will be shown in his "Blood bath bride" outfit.

I have a feeling that I asked the deepest questions which will ever be asked by the people watching this clip, as I assume those who "liked" this to be of the flamboyant-but-lost type, but I challenge you to challenge my claim. And those who observe this with a closed mind, and pre-determinded attitude, I will just ask that you take one moment of your life to step out of yourself, and ask what you're even here for. Hate is the feeling you get when you don't understand. Knowledge overcomes Hate.
