Post-Empire culture, which Mr. Ellis once described in part as "pure transparency," looks a lot like the sunlit California splatter films Quentin Tarantino lovingly lampoons! Perhaps it'll catch on--certainly Lindsay Lohan, having recently asked Barack Obama to cut her taxes as she's not a millionaire despite public perception, is an avatar of transparency.
