Maps to the Stars | comment |
A 2014 Hollywood Satire, directed by David Cronenberg from a script by Bruce Wagner.Forty-something actress Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore) is trying to jump-start her stagnant career by remaking the signature film of her late mother, Clarice Taggart (Sarah Gadon). Havana is also under the care of TV psychologist Stafford Weiss (John Cusack), who, along with wife Cristina (Olivia Williams), oversees the movie career of their spoiled, ill-mannered 13-year-old son Benji (Evan Bird). And Jerome (Robert Pattinson) dreams of being an actor or screenwriter, but makes his living as a limo driver.A strange young woman named Agatha (Mia Wasikowska) - covered with burns from a childhood house fire - travels to Hollywood and inserts herself into the orbits of Havana (as her assistant), Jerome (as a client and confidante), and the Weisses (as...something else.) | |

Maps to the Stars / int_2737c505 | comment |
Shoot the Dog: Benji's friend Brett shows off a revolver he "bought on eBay." Benji grabs it, unloads it (or so he thinks...), plays False Roulette a few times, then points the gun at Rhett's dog and pulls the trigger. | |

Brother–Sister Incest | |
Maps to the Stars / int_771f6307 | comment |
Brother–Sister Incest: Stafford and Cristina Weiss. In their defense, they'd been separated at an early age, and only found out after they'd met, married, and raised a family. Father, I Want to Marry My Brother: When Benjie and his sister were young, she would feed him sleeping pills and perform a mock wedding ceremony with him. During one such ceremony, the house caught on fire, badly burning her in the process. | |

Abusive Parents: Havana maintains that Clarice was this to her. The ghost of Clarice disputes this. When Stafford finds Agatha in his home, he physically attacks her, punching her repeatedly in the stomach before throwing her out. | |

Spoiled Brat: Benji, and how! He's dismissive of the grownups in charge of his career, flat-out rude to fans, and insanely jealous of a younger co-star who's stealing all the scenes in Benji's comeback project. | |

Horrible Hollywood | |
Maps to the Stars / int_d55108a1 | comment |
Horrible Hollywood: Pretty much the entire point of the movie. Delusional, past-their-prime actresses? Spoiled-rotten child stars? Smiling, sanctimonious agents? Having to play nice with a rival actress who just stole the role of a lifetime from underneath you? Celebrities with horrible secrets being hidden from the public? Check, check, check, check, and oh HELL yes. | |

Lotus Position: Havana is attempting to meditate when her agent calls: another actress has been cast in the remake of Havana's mother's film. Havana calmly listens to the entire message, then smashes her cell phone and lets out a Skyward Scream. | |

Maps to the Stars / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Benji's sister Agatha is the only person he does not act like a complete asshole towards. While he does still occasionally insult towards her, it comes off more as typical brother-sister teasing than the snide condescension he displays towards everyone else. | |
