Party Monster

Party Monster(2003) is a drama/dark comedy on the rise and fall of New York party promoter Michael Alig. Much attention was placed on the film due to Macaulay Culkin's part of the gay, drug addled Alig. The film also stars Seth Green as Michael's drug addled yet smarter best friend James St. James, Chloe Sevigny as Michael's girlfriend/fag hag(depending on how you view it) Gitsie, Dylan McDermott as club entrepreneur Peter Gatien, and Marilyn Manson as freaked out tranny Christina.
