American Psycho

[mikeyvegas]

Patrick Bateman : Do you know what Ed Gein said about women?
David Van Patten : The maitre 'd at Canal Bar?
Patrick Bateman : No, serial killer, Wisconsin, the '50s.
Craig McDermott : So what did he say?
Patrick Bateman : "When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants me to take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and treat her right."
David Van Patten : And what did the other part think?
Patrick Bateman : "What her head would look like on a stick..."

I must be a sick bastard, 'cause this movie always cracks me up.

It is a great movie. I know a lot of people don't like Ellis' writing, but I think it is great. And I like all 3 movies that were adapted from his novels.

[craig r]

I haven't read the book. I thought the movie was absolutely horrible. I do, however, love Shannyn Sossamon.

oh come on, the drunk guy in the restaurant was hilarious. i thought the movie had several good scenes.

Me too. And Jessica Biel.

I wouldn't go as far as to say horrible, but I didn't like the movie either. I heard the book was good, but that was from someone who liked the movie too.

Rules of Attraction is a great book. Disturbingly similar in many ways to my college when you take away the overdone satirical parts.

Less than zero as a movie was pathetic. It is much too different than the book.

Its interesting (to me, a lit nerd) that many of the same characters show up in his books. Patrick is Sean bateman's brother, James Van Derbeek (sp?) from Rules...

Glamorama is another interesting one from Ellis. Not quite as f'ed up but he tries his best.

I've read it several times. It is a great great book. The movie is fine, but nothing to get excited about.
