I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

Memorise the above quote from A-Psycho then next time someone you are talking to is not listening or paying attention repeat the quote........it worked a treat on my new GP, i did explain why i said it afterwards but i don't really think he believed me, gonna try a Travis Bickle quote next time if he's still as inattentive.

it worked a treat on my new GP

LMAO

i loved the business card scene,

- Is that a gram ? - New card.

What do you think ?

Whoa-ho. Very nice.

Look at that. Picked them up from the printer's yesterday.

Good coloring. That's bone.

And the lettering is something called Silian Rail.

It's very cool, Bateman, but that's nothing. Look at this.

That is really nice.

Eggshell with Romalian type. What do you think ?

Nice.

Jesus. That is really super. How'da nitwit like you get so tasteful?

I can't believe that Bryce...

prefers Van Patten's card to mine.

But wait. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Raised lettering, pale nimbus... white.

Impressive. Very nice.

Hmm.

Let's see Paul Allen's card.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring.

The tasteful thickness of it.

Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.

Is something wrong, Patrick ?

You're sweating

American Psycho is basically my Bible.

Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism

You are a worry. 😀

Loved that respose to the male grooming thread last week 🙂

My wife has a bracelet with the letters "WWBD" engraved on it.

Can't help but wonder how many people think: "Yes. Bateman's spot on!"

Can't help but wonder how many people on stw think: "Yes. Bateman's spot on!"

There...fixed it for you 😀

The part with the rat and the habitrail system was a bit grim.

That was one screwed book, I was really looking forward to the film, but was rather a disappointment. Probably because some of the scenes in the book we omitted from the film (the rat in the bedroom), not suitable for cinema I suspect.

What say stw on whether the murders were real, or whether they were all just the violent fantasies of someone descending into madness? Or something in between?

The film seemed to make it clear that it was all in his head, sitting round in his office all day doodling about being a serial killer. I read the book a long time back and it seemed far less signposted.

You can't read anything BEE writes in a linear/literal way.

Try reading Glamorama and then ask yourself whether Bateman was fantasising/crazy or whether it was real 😉

A friend at university tried to read American Psycho, but a few days later he brought it in to a lecture and returned it to the guy he borrowed it from saying that he can't read it and won't keep the book in his house.

OP - great post!

I read it back in about 1994 and loved it - what a book - utter madness

I clearly remember seeing the billboard poster being put up outside my University in about 1999 and the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end - thinking "how can they make this crazy book into a film!!!"

I then accompanied a couple of people to the cinema to watch it - i found it incredibly funny as most of the book was in the film, so i found the black humour hysterical - much to the distaste of my friends in the cinema who all thought i was some sort of psycho for finding it so funny

Haven't seen it in ages, so might have another watch this week

I've never found any other BEE books particularly good though, and i think i've read them all.

Your friend strikes me as being even more odd than Bateman 🙂

I did, but it was shit, so I chucked it away

You missed out on the most shit bit then, the ending 🙂 Bret seemed to either run out of ideas, get bored or go on a massive coke binge and the book just sort of stops. Fans try to make out like BEE intended it this way, but I have a feeling he just thought "this is mince, I'm going on a bender"

He was a bit odd. We did find it amusing (odd) that he couldn't sleep while the book was in his house.

He's a policeman now I think.

Enjoyed the film but the book was hard work

I was called to a disciplinary in the early nineties for reading that book in the office. A female colleague picked it up out of curiosity, read the very worst part whilst and took offence.

They asked me to keep obscene material out of the workspace.

I left a week later.

A.P's great but Less Than Zero's better, both on paper and film.

Hope you slaughtered a few on your way out
