hahahhahahaahahaha

dont ask

edit: sorry guys u missed it

hurry up so i can deleteeeeee

b4 anyone finds out

I am out of the loop. :

haha ok i thought it was just me it's like dude...if i read about so and so's suit one more time i'm gonna scream. i mean he knew what EVERYONE was wearing. even the women. wtf?! :|

I can just imagine the author trying to think of everything like that, I can imagine he annoyed himself quite often while writing it.

they left that in the movie :shock: okay HELL NO i will not be watching that i was considering it for an insane moment there but not with that scene included. absolutely no way i could stomach that. i cant even stomach the mental image that keeps popping in my head like every few minutes i think what bothers me most is that i was not expecting that. with all the other sex scenes, i knew when it was time to skip ahead. there'd be some kind of break when it was clear things were gonna turn violent. here it's like one minute he's eating her out and the next minute...he's...eating...her...out :|

Well in the movie he's in the bed with two girls, and he goes under the sheets, and then the second woman leaves the bed, because she had planned to take off, because she had been hurt by him before. She looks back because the other woman is screaming or something, and sees that the sheets are all soaked with blood. The he just pops his head up with blood all over his face. Not super graphic or anything, then he chases her out with the chainsaw. Pretty messed up scene, but the whole cannibalism part is over in a moment and thankfully all you see is the blood on his face. It does come on kind of quickly in the book, takes you by surprise.

You really should check out the movie though, no where near as graphic as the book thankfully. The atm asks him to feed it a kitten, that's worth seeing on film right?

the thing is...we never find out why. there is no fucking why. it's all just senseless violence that derives from a self-absorption that is so total and complete, there seems to be no other outlet for it except killing. and because there's no why, it makes the whole thing--a person like that--that much scarier. cause there's pretty much no hope. when you have no conscience what is there to do? there's no fixing that.

That's true you never do find out why, but when you first pick up the book, and start reading, at least I figured it would give me some insight into why, but it kind of just leaves you wondering, it leaves you unsettled is the word maybe. That's the scaroest idea, that there is no reason why he is doing this other than he is completely devoid of a soul. It's makes you think about how many people out there have that type of problem, I can imagine it's only few, but with 6 billion people on the planet, this guy has to be out there somewhere, and that is creepy.

people's obliviousness in this book is astonishing to me. and also the idea that money can buy anything. first, it buys you the appearance of sophistication (when in reality the man is an animal, and i wouldnt even go there because i think animals act with more compassion than this guy). second, it basically shuts people up: the cab driver who recognizes him as killing another cab driver (that Bateman has no recollection of killing) but instead of reporting him, steals his money and his precious rolex. then there's the maid (who i never consider in this whole thing...who the FUCK has a maid when you're a serial killer?! WHO!?!?) who he mentions having to clean up all the blood. ummmm WHAT?! :| so she cleans up the blood week after week and doesnt find this strange? because she's being paid handsomely. i mean what kind of fucked up shit is this? this is where the book has real depth. anyone who thinks it's just a catalogue of senseless violence is missing the satire here. though perhaps not as fucked up as Bateman, a society that allows him to get away with all this shit--that refuses to acknowledge what it doesnt want to see--is almost just as fucked up. when you place so much importance on appearances, this is what happens. not that society is to blame for one man's depraved actions but the culture does contribute at least in part to his ability to keep doing it without much worry about getting caught.

His look and sophistication allow him to get away with much more than a normal person would be able to get away with, society provides him with everything he needs to basically conceal himself from the outside. The animal analogy is pretty close, this guy would be comparable to an animal with rabies in terms of viciousness, but then he has the ability to think, making it quite a bit more terrifying than any other animal could ever be.

It's funny, I would have done the same thing as that cabbie, seriously if I saw him kill another cabbie, I wouldn't get in his way, I don't think I would have even taken his money and watch though. Turn him in though, absolutely, and it's confusing why he chose not to. It kind of shows you people's reluctance to get involved with something that that could sooner avoid, if it means less work for them. It reminds me of Fight Club, Tyler wants them to go out and pick a fight with a random person, and they really have a hard time getting people to fight back, people are afraid of confrontation.

It's probably the same thing with the maid, or maybe fearing for her own life, but still when you see what the maid had seen, any persona who had half an ounce of courage would have done something about it, tried to intervene in even the smallest way to try and change what you knew was happening, yet nothing. As you mention I'm sure they paycheck comes into play here, people's desire for wealth over most everything else, even over what you know to be right and good.

definitely agree with you on that one. he is fuckin desperate in that scene. jumps in the cab, demands that the guy drives, and after god knows how many minutes of non-compliance, shoots the guy in the head and drives the cab himself. frankly, i have to wonder why he didnt just do that in the first place definitely get the sense things are falling apart for him but then everything returns to "normal" with him and he's back killing people and sticking vaginas in his locker at the gym. ANYway, there's another moment where it's clear he's losing touch with reality (uh right, because the killings werent really an indication of this heh). he mentions the ATM talking to him, and a park bench chasing him and then talking to him as well. uhhh, maybe it's time to lay off the coke, xanax, and J&B's there Bateman.

The author did a pretty good job of portraying that desperation in the book, I mean in a movie, the actor has facial experessions, and everything else your eyes can recognize as desperation, but to make it come out well in the book, takes a good author. Going back to his utter disregard for the thought that he might be caught, he sits in the cab for so long, just to come to killing the cabbie, he left himself out in the open for so long, and yet his little spree continued. The fact he learned nothing from his little detour from the norm during that scene, and just goes back to daily life as usual, it's just so strange, I don't know what else to say about that.

As I mentioned above they included the ATm bit in the movie, I wish they would have included the park bench chasing him, though I'm not sure how they would have pulled that off on film.

yeah, i watched a couple of trailers. i'm not a big fan of movies with voiceover narration even though i think it's necessary in order to adapt this novel properly. but idk, it just annoys me for some reason. i'm anal like that not that i'll be watching this movie...for abovementioned reason.

i also saw that they made a LAME ASS sequel. why god WHYYYYYY :| i'm embarassed on their behalf. seriously i dont have to even see the damn film to know the sequel is bad and totally unrelated to the themes/spirit of the novel and first film. way to ruin shit hollywood

There is a bit of voice over in this, so probably not your cup of tea, it might be worth a once over though, but you read the book, so you pretty much got everything that's in the movie and more.

They did make a really horrible cinemax sequel or something, I think Mila Kunis was in it, from that 70's show. If I remember right, she is the daughter of ones of Batemans victims, and she is a trainee at the FBI or something like that. It's really, really fucking stupid. It's like the sequels they made for Cruel Intentions, should never have been made in the first place.

You should read Rules of Attraction, by Bret Easton Ellis. The story basically revolves around Patrick Bateman's younger brother, during his stay at fictional Camden college. It's decent, and has nothing to do with American Psycho, but is pretty good none the less.

Took me long enough to write this out, I've got a pm from you I still have to get to too.

I am out of the loop. :

awww there there

*pretends to console mike* *steals his wallet instead*

hmm ok i guess thats...okay actually no its not...i want to gag just thinking about it :yuckky:

haha and you know it creeped me out seeing as he was from harvard :|

meh, you said it all. no response needed

park bench chase would've been awesome

ohhh i want to! good to hear good things about it i had no idea it revolved around his younger brother. the one who's briefly featured in AP? (Sean?) Or is there some other brother :|

and shame on you for not getting to that PM seeing as how i'm about to forward something to you

it never ends with me

u two god damn novelists

If Rules of Attraction is what I think it is, I need to get that book too.

u two god damn novelists

and to think, i purposely left it brief this time

Hey, I have baby pictures of myself in that wallet, and that's about the extent of the value of my wallet.

It is actually the same brother, Sean, from American Psycho. He's pretty fucked up, but not in the way his older brother is. They made a movie adaptation of Rules of Attraction with James Vanderbeek, Ian Somerhalder, Shannyn Sossamon, I thought it was decent, but the book had more in it of course.

I should be asleep.

That's what I THOUGHT it was. Dude. Anything with Ian Somerhalder dancing around in his undies is fine with me Anyway, I should read the book before I see the movie. Which we have coming from Netflix but knowing them I won't see it until June of next year.

swwweeet! baby pics!!! thats more than what i have now

james...vanderbeek?

i think i just threw up a little :yuckky:

ooo but ian somerhalder has nice eyes. still...james vanderbeek is like a special needs child

yes you should. *steals mike's pencil*

Yeah, you should definitely read the book first. Well actually, I find I am less disappointed by the movie if I read the book afterwards, I don't feel so bad that they left stuff out when I read the book second, but that's just me.

I had almost completely blocked that underwear scene from my mind, thanks for bringing it back in full technicolor.

Well I have some other pictures in there too, and now you have them, I am just a hollow shell, now that you have taken the only things of substance that I have. I'm 14 pounds lighter.

It's a much different Vanderbeek, than the Dawsons creek vanderbeek, yet still manages to annoy. It's ok though, the movie is odd enough to maybe make you almost forget it's him. Maybe...

No way I am getting up before 2 pm today.

Edit: How did you know I was using a pencil? There is one in my hand at this very moment. :|

My evil work here is done.

I'll just try and think real hard about him getting crushed by the plane on Lost, that oughtta do it. Underwear scene, deleted.

Much better.

I'm going to find pictures and spam you with them now, don't think I won't

And dude I never did see that. I started watching Lost for Ana Lucia. And once she's gone I'll probably stop watching because these people are SODUMB.
