So I just watched the American Psycho

[k town trash]

Whats the big fuss about this movie? It was boring as hell.... why is everyone praising this ****?

 

[mags on fire]

 

[odog24]

this movie was dope one of my faves ever

 

[jpzx]

I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Christian Bale in it mostly... one of the best acting jobs I've ever seen from him.

The business card scene, the face wash/peel scene, him talking about Huey Lewis and the News, him talking to the girl at the laundromat, etc. All so well done, and the sort of "split personality" he had was amazing.

you dont like it you dont like it...why do you seek to rationalize?

I think people praise it since Christian gets the girls left and right.

 

[decemberlove]

Do you get it?

 

[mitchellicious]

In b4 "You didn't get "it" OP!"

 

[Master Zik]

Maybe you just didn't get it? I'm really not about to get in to it and explain why it was an interesting story. I will say Bateman (or is it Bates?, I tend to confuse the two) is a pretty introspective character,.

 

[mitchellicious]

I think the whole thing is meant to be a satire. The business card scene and accents are gold. I still watch it with the face though

 

[daytona 5000]

Book was way better.

Which scenes are you referring to? Are you talking about the scene where Bateman is jelly of other dude's business cards?

it ain't supposed to be a horror killer movie dummy.. its a satirical commentary on various aspects of society

 

[dat dude chris]

this movie was dope

 

[getyashinebox]

this one's probably in my top 20 or 30. Great film.
Scary how you can relate to some aspects of a lunatic murderer (women, materialism, narcissism, etc)

Book was way better.

is it worth reading the book if I already saw the movie?

 

[harlemtothebronx]

This is the movie I always stop and watch when I see it on TV.

Yes. The book goes way more in depth. Very graphic though. I'm not a naturally squemish person, but some parts in the book were too much. :x

I'd skip the book. Whole chapters are dedicated to his musical musings, ala the Huey Newtown scene. It's great in one scene, but becomes a drag. Also, Ellis writes at length about Bateman's outfits. It feels like you're reading a Brooks Brother's catalog.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I saw this movie last week on the cable movie channel..

 

[calikev34]

Patrick Bateman is my idol, bro

The movie is legendary
