I still think of her as the Sassy magazine intern.

no shit

Nicole OTM

adorable!

WHAT UP GIRL

funky!

i really liked the book. i think to capture it on film would be impossible. obv i hated the movie. it only goes 1% towards the violence & disturbing behavior. if memory serves, there was skull-fucking, for god's sake. not that i think the violence is the point, but it's important. as much as i like chloe s. she was totally wrong for the part. and willem dafoe, argh. horrible casting

Ron is rong. By about 19% I estimate.

Rin was rong I should have said. He may have changed his mind by now.

'Ron was rong' - curse my stubby fingers!

I am so glad you posted that.

haha fucking hell that's brilliant.

OK, that totally made my day

American Psycho actually gets better with repeat viewings

It can't get much worse.

So what do Bret Easton Ellis and Duncan Sheik have in common.

hooray, "Sweeny Todd" for yuppies

I wouldn't know who Duncan Sheik is if it weren't for the fact he keeps getting written up in my college alumni magazine.

WHY??????

he's such a fuckbucket

american psycho is an awesome book but the movie only had one scene that was as funny as the book and that was the business card scene

also there is no way you could translate the things that r gr8 about the book into a musical

"This is Sussudio
It's a great great song
This is Sussudio
Won't you sing along?

You know, Duke was the album
Where Phil Collins made them good
The early stuff was too arty
Too smart? Too stupid! Any fool would
Trade that in, don't you and I know,
To listen again, to hear Sussudio..."

i thought the movie was funnier than the book.

ok ned otm

"You've got to get a head in life
Excuse me, gotta find that knife..."

i dunno, when i saw the movie it was on tv on a station that regularly edits so maybe its better than it seemed

christina bale is attractive

christian.

I cannot imagine watching "American Psycho" edited. I think it would be 20 minutes long...?

oh wait, is the movie violent???

dude, what

yeah no way you can see the edit of this, like at all -- at the very least bcuz of the xtian bale nudity

this was in the top 5 of my movies poll

movie is fantastic. have no interest in the novel, really.

have mentioned b4 that i have like all the time in the world for brett easton ellis tho

Christian Bale is too recognizably Christian Bale in this movie. He doesn't disappear into the character like he does in Empire of the Sun or the Machinist. That thing about him doing a Tom Cruise impression for the entire length of the movie is awesome, though. Valiant effort!

the books is better than the movie cuz its scarier and truer w/ still bein funny. the movie is p rad tho

So much of the humor in the film was "lol 80s yuppie culture" - so much of it was a particular aesthetic, that because the book is a book, it doesn't come through quite as well.

i thought the opposite, the jokes were kinda flat on the screen the book was just boring boring boring, punchline punchline punchline punchline, masturbating with a hookers blood, boring boring boring, etc.

yeah - the jokes were flat - it was all about flat - the accessories, furnishings, settings - that was what was funny to me.

Are you talking about the Whitney Houston music reviews? Because the movie is clever about incorporating it, but if you've read the book first, it still comes off as forced. I agree that a book cannot play "walking on sunshine" at you in a funny way.

i read the book after seeing the movie, and i liked the way the movie dealt with the music reviews better than the book.

It was pretty clever how they did it, but Bale has a very forced, pinched way of speaking, and he doesn't sell it very well. Patton Oswalt could have pulled it off, I bet.

"American Psycho" starring Patton Oswalt is melting my brain with awesome

I was about to say, someone create this alternate reality now please.

Bale has a very forced, pinched way of speaking, and he doesn't sell it very well.

this is what made it perfect for me, sorry.
