The Rules of Attraction
 

Saw the movie "The Rules of Attraction" last night. I think most of you are sufficiently demented enough to like it. I did.

Read "American Psycho" by the same author, Bret Easton Ellis. But don't watch that stupid fucking Hollywood movie based on the book. It really fucking sucked.

I remember when American Psycho came out - caused a shit load of uproar so I thought I would read it - very good book. So I'm reading it on the subway when I get to the part where he is in a restraunt with some model chicks and he is talking about how airheadeed they are and they start to discuss the solar system - this part is very funny and I started laughing - couldn't help it - it was really funny - well you should have seen the looks I was getting from some of the other passangers on the train - there were people who wanted this book banned because of the violence - I just thought it was really good and really funny - it was after all nothing more than a satirical look at life in the decadent '80's.

Yeah, it made me laugh a lot. Some people couldn't get past the few scenes of graphic violence which is a shame because like you say it's a great fucking satire. Here in Queensland in Australia they sold the book shrinkwrapped and you had to be over 18 to buy it.

Speaking of books that made me laugh, has anyone read "Hollywood" by Charles Bukowski. Shit that's a funny book.

American Psycho. Sounds like my kind of read. I'll grab it next trip to bookland.

One thing I never figured out about American Psycho was whether or not all the information flying about in Patrick Bateman's head was supposed to be accurate. There were literally hundreds of food and fashion and even music references that were out of my realm of knowledge, so I don't know if they were accurate. But there were at least two things I caught that were definitely wrong.

I like to think Bateman was just totally deluded about everything (it seems to fit), but it's also plausible that he was so into the shallow details that he had it all memorized.

I saw 'Rules' last night.. decent movie but whoever did the editing needs to lay off the drugs. There were parts that just DRAGGED on for fuck all's sake.. geez. I hate being in a movie looking at my watch going "When is this fucking thing going to be over with?"

I saw Rules' last week, I thought it was a great picture...Roger Avary is one talented cat. It had the same loopy, disconnected feeling as 'Killing Zoe' (his last picture) not to mention a killer soundtrack and the film actually made the crappy novel coherent.

I saw The Rules of Attraction yesterday. If your idea of fun is to watch a bunch of airheaded, always-high-on-something products of the US de-education system, have bad sex and barf on each other, you probably liked The Blair Witch Project, too. Both movies are best viewed when made stupid by some kind of psychotropic substance.

Unseen, if you couldn't get past the window dressing to enjoy the story that's too bad, cos the movie was pretty interesting actually.

That's a fair endorsement. What kind of substance you recommend? "Rules of Attraction" reminded me of college. Strongly related to it.

Rules of Attraction


I'll start things off;

1. Never fully disclose the extent of your attraction.

2. Always wait the mandatory 3 days to call after getting the digits.

3. DO NOT be available for a last minute date unless you're intending to establish a booty call relationship, or there's a phat party or event they're inviting you to.

anyone want to add here?

4. Be super mysterous. Keep changing the name you like to be called, your occupation, the way you dress...women like enigmas. Never confirm or deny anything.

5. Be the one to end the phone conversation, and do it on a really good note ~ leaving them wanting more.

"...well gotta go masturbate to thoughts of you, talk to ya later."

Any movie with Van der beek or whatever his name is, is gay

especially those man-on-man porns he stars in... Whew, are THOSE gay!

huh? lol...

and further on...movies with Ben Aflfeck, Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and the such are GAY...


Rules of attraction number

6. Never ever let your date choose the movie for you.
ie: if the girl can convince you to watch a "girl" movie she'll know you're desperate...

Never cheat on her, or if you do, DO NOT GET CAUGHT!!!!

is that one?

Not really dumbass hehe These should be rules of "attraction" ...not rules used when you are in a relationship but when about to get into a relationship ...

Is it just me or does James VDB have a big ol' melon head? Some of the shots in that movie just made his head look frickin' huge..

Oh, and he's gay.

Ill take seven dont ever fuck untill at least a week and if you really want it to last wait a month. Just tease. A nice tight and firm hug and a soft peck on the lips plenty of eye contact and then just say goodnight and walk away.:thumbsup

Or she might think you're gay or something? Maybe you watched too much Freddy Prince Juniors girly movies? :)

:1orglaugh Actually I have but that has nothing to do with it. I like to hold off on doing the nasty for me cuz if she gives it up to soon I lose interest. Makes me think she is a cheap slut. Plus I like to play the game.:thumbsup

Fuck that.. what happens if you invest a bunch of time and she's a dead fish in bed? LAME! Need to find out if she's worth the time..

Well then you teach her how to fuck--big deal.

:tongue:
