Which is unfortunate. I'm no environmental nut, but this story sucks. Anybody ever visit any great reefs?

I'm not an environmental "nut," I don't believe, but I'm pretty particular about things like recycling, composting, picking up litter, speaking up against oil companies, developers and any other organizations or individuals who abscond from their obligations to do what's right.

As far as American Psycho... The film is not entirely in line with the book. It is very much its own, and much of it I feel was Harron's personal sense of interpretation. Fucking excellent and hilarious and brutal movie.

I like the film. I think he was dreaming and mentally delusional never read the book

 

[Michaelangelo]

I hated when he killed the dog

Lol I cared more for the dog than the homeless guy

But it was Lester Freaman, god damn it!

Wait, does anyone actually doubt this? It was made explicitly clear

The movie really does not even come close to the disturbing level of detail in the book. The really profound thing about the book as I remember (its been over a decade since I read it) is that it really puts you inside Bateman's head -- and its way more twisted than the movie lets on. I recently rewatched the movie and was reminded how tame it is compared to the book. Great book, but fucked up.

Book was way better

Paul Allen's card was pretty damn impressive

 

[M3t4tr0n]

…there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there. It is hard for me to make sense on any given level. Myself is fabricated, an aberration. I am a noncontingent human being. My personality is sketchy and unformed, my heartlessness goes deep and is persistent. My conscience, my pity, my hopes disappeared a long time ago (probably at Harvard) if they ever did exist. There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed. I still, though, hold on to one single bleak truth: no one is safe, nothing is redeemed. Yet I am blameless. Each model of human behavior must be assumed to have some validity. Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do? My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this—and I have countless times, in just about every act I’ve committed—and coming face-to-face with these truths, there is no catharsis. I gain no deeper knowledge about myself, no new understanding can be extracted from my telling. There has been no reason for me to tell you any of this. This confession has meant nothing….

There’s no use in denying it: this has been a bad week. I’ve started drinking my own urine.

I want to read it again now.​

Who cares if the book was better. The movie was excellent also.

There is no crime in liking both

Oh helax and dance...

Is it? How?

I have seen the movie several times and own it in two different formats and I have always fallen on the side that he really did it.

 

[Bull Terrier]

New York matinee called it "a playful but mysterious little dish".

 

[Elysianwing]

I like when he is confessing his crimes after his killing spree and just randomly calls that homeless dude a . "I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh some old with a dog last week"

S'just something about the way he says it that makes me laugh.

I also like the part where the ATM tells him to feed it a kitten.


But yeah, I was always of the mind that it was an elaborate fantasy of his, to escape from his otherwise meaningless materialistic life.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

I think I read in an interview with the author some of what he did was real and some delusion and that he was killing people.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Paul Allen is a d*ck.
