American Psycho

[ukjeff]

Great read if you are dieting.   

[ukjeff]

In his head, he didn't kill anyone who was missed.

TBH he was a bit of a dork, for all his bravado.

[SF1900]

so do you think it happened or was just in his head?

i find the book comes to other conclusion than the movie

 

It was just in his head. Well, according to the movie it was all in his head. Not sure how the book plays out.

[ukjeff]

The book is essential reading for any bodybuilder.
Its all about obsession and shallowness.

[ukjeff]

ill have to re read i guess.

Me too, i like reading it while Im dieting.

Vanity, insecurity, personality disorders, steroids, perversion, delusion and illusions.

Patrick Bateman would be an excellent getbig poster.

he would indeed. He would cause a lot of meltdowns.

[Purge_WTF]

The ending to the book and movie are the same.

And yes, the book was a thousand times more violent.

Great read if you are dieting.   

I'm pissed I wasn't an 80s I-banker.  What a life.  Just INsane, and making the world better with productive corps, as opposed to crony obama green fail handouts.

Can you imagine the women these guys got??
Blonde 18 and coke loving by the dozen!!! b4 aids!

[hardgainerj]

Great read if you are dieting.   

the movie omitted one of the best parts when he has a breakdown and goes into a bodega and steals spams and scarfs it down like an animal, truly disturbing

[galeniko]

hm.
yah can imagine.
but they were busy out poshing eachother instead of sex.

if he was average kinda banker, or his case,one of the best looking, then the life wasnt all so wild.

they still had to show up at work, they didnt do much, but presence was required.

they did bit coke on the weekends and ate at fine restaraunts.

and little bit sex here and there.

and still always broke, on the verge of bankruptcy for the lifestyle and places where they lived ,they lived kinda paycheck to paycheck.

thats mentioned in the book.

not overly exciting.

the idiots who inherit wealth and blow it all in record time on coke and whores have more quality time per maonth by far,lol.

It was just in his head. Well, according to the movie it was all in his head. Not sure how the book plays out.

It wasn't in his head, people ignoring his actions and in the end his confession was supposed to illustrate that everyone was so self centered that Patrick Bateman  literally got away with murder.

[Danimal77]

 

It was just in his head. Well, according to the movie it was all in his head. Not sure how the book plays out.

Actually that's not accurate. If you listen to the commentary from the director and the writer of the film adaptation, all the murders very much did happen, it's just that we see them from Bateman's eyes, which is a distorted image of what really went down, but yes, he did commit all the murders and no, it was not all in his mind.

[galeniko]

yeah the murderers did happen.

the authors themselves been clear on that.

the movie leaves you "yes or no"

but the book is too clear, and i think theres 1 or 2 moe homocides in the book, cant remember seeing them in a movie.

the guy is so incredibly vain, haha even i had to laugh at some aprts.

i bet everyone has found some scary paralels in character to the guy.

[Quickerblade]

he drank 20 liters of water a day to keep his great skin complexion.

Yeah he killed a few more in the book.  The one murder in the book where he picks up some stupid whore and ties her up and shoves a greased tube up her twat and inserts a giant rat that he had been keeping in a cage purposely starving it so it would be extra angry.  The rat crawls up into the tube into her twat and eats its way out of her body through her abdomen.  What a contribution to american literature this book was....
Seriously though, the book was fucking demented.  Shows the level of vanity and depravity that people are capable of.  The diet and exercise shit is cool too because he is so obsessed with it and all the detail he goes into about his breakfast and stuff.  I remember lots of fucking in the book too.  He fucks a bunch of whores and his girlfriend too.  I love all the drug use in it.  Popping benzos all the time, drinking, smashing whores, working out...sounds like a day in the life of galeniko

You know what I didn't watch this movie, I'm going to right now.
