American Psycho
 

"I like to dissect girls"

"Feed me a stray cat"

" i am in muders and executions" :thumbsup

"do you like huey lewis and the news?"

"I want you to clean your vagina"

That was quite a movie. The 80s album reviews was definitely the best part. Not sure I could really watch that movie all the way through again though.

Read the book!

Anyone read anything else by Ellis? Recommendations?

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I remember reading that book in high school, and having to set it down from time to time because I felt like I was going to throw up.

The chapter with the pvc pipe, acid, naked woman, starved rat in a cage, and brie cheese while there was a video playing in the background of him committing another murder in the same room in which he was eating a woman's brain with Grey Poupon was a bit much...

I kinda figured they'd leave that one out of the movie.

:throwup

To add my own quote (and to paraphrase):

"The sounds she was making were, for the most part, indescribable."

Brett Easton Ellis was one sick fuck. :helpme:helpme

"Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut."

i love that scene

"Less than zero" was ok.

Agreed.

I haven't read him in about 15 years, though.

It's interesting to see how much this movie influenced the TV show Dexter (Dexter even used the name Patrick Bateman when ordering the tranquilizers)

LPink and D,

Not a very strong recommendation?

My favorite of his books was Rules of Attraction
the movie was so-so, but the book was pretty damn good

"Do you know how bad you smell? You reek of shit!"

All I can say is it is Hip to be square.
Best Batman yet.

No... it's a classic. I'd certainly recommend reading it. It was a national bestseller and, if I recall correctly, his first novel.

Just don't expect more of the same. It's a different kind of book.

It's worth reading, I just didn't think it was a great book.

Do you like phil collins?

"I need to engage in homicidal behaviour on a massive scale...... It can not be corrected but I have no other way to fulfill my needs."

Bale is a very underated actor. He has been briliant in all his movies.

"duct tape"

"Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it"

I loved that line :1orglaugh

Oh man, this is one of my all-time favorite movies, and favorite books. The book was by far more in depth and disgusting. A fantastic read.

I've read other books by Ellis, but none compare. I think it's the subject matter that captivated me.

It's a great book. Inspiring. Makes me wanna kill someone.

the movie in blu ray is absolutely beautiful

I HOPE THIS IS NOT CONNECTED TO LAST SATURDAY IN SOME STRANGE WAY WE WILL HEAR ABOUT IN THE 6 O CLOCK NEWS......:Oh crap



:1orglaugh

If memory serves...a copy of American Psycho was found on the bedside table of Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

I have read almost all of his books and I can really recommend The Informers, Rules of Attraction and Less than Zero. I could only get about half way through Glam-O-Rama but have been told it pays off in the end so I might give it another try and I haven't yet read Lunar Park.

Book was fabulous and Christian Bale is pretty much my favorite actor, but I hate Jared Leto, so that was a real pisser. I tried to forget about what a total douchebag he is and block him out. :1orglaugh

"'When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things.
One part of me wants to take her out and talk to her,
be real nice and sweet and treat her right.'"

First movie I bought once I got my bluray player :)

I've come to value your input on movies, as your taste somewhat mirrors my own.


Bale impressed me in American Psycho, but won me over as an actor in The Machinist.

He was utterly brilliant in that movie.

Great book, decent movie.
This scene is pretty ... intense

i watch that movie like once a week im a sick bastard

Isn't The Informers a prequel, and not a sequel? Is that the movie you are referring to here? I'm curious as to how you were able to see such an advanced screening if so. There aren't even any user comments on imdb, and no US release date has been set yet. I wonder if Brad Renfro finished all his scenes before dying.

I'd hit it, 2x's!

lunar park! much more tame than american psycho but classic easton-ellis. it's fiction, but he writes as if it's semi-autobiographical. the story is about what happens when an american psycho copycat killer comes into the picture.... sooo good

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I loved that movie. He was extremely overlooked for an Oscar nod that year...

nah, I meant American Psycho2 with Mila Kunis.

the movie was so bad, I almost needed toilet paper to clean out my DVD player...

The guy must have lost 30 lbs to do that role, and at his normal weight he didn't look like he could spare much.

Now that's commitment.

he's talking about this American psycho 2
apart from the title it has nothing to do with part 1

Guess you've never seen Rescue Dawn, holy shit he was horrible in that
