I watched the documentary over Party Monster. It was on Youtube and only about an hour. I'd always wanted to see it because I'm fascinated by the club kids scene, for all its color and glitter and creativity.....and for its desperation. Michael Alig is a rather charming sociopath, but a sociopath nonetheless.
It was sad to watch it. A lot of the people they talked to are dead now. It was strange to look at these sad, tortured people and know things never got better for them. Thankfully, it did for some. James St James has done well for himself and is now basically a gay culture curator.
Michael never really showed remorse. He was upset he got caught and upset he was in prison, but I don't think he's ever been upset that he ended a life.
