American Psycho

I hadn’t watched it in years, forgot how funny and damning it is to the yuppy culture of the 80s.

Superb film. Absolutely love it. Have you seen American Psycho 2? If you haven't, don't bother.

Christian Bale was born to play Bateman.

My only slight criticism of the film, is that compared to the book, they bottled it with the violence and brutality, which dilutes his true madness.

I fully understand why they did though, as the film would never have got through the censors otherwise.

Hahaha mate I'm glad they got nowhere near some of the stuff in the book.

Yeah the book is ruthless in its violence. People seem to think he was hallucinating the whole time but I don’t think so, I think he definitely killed Paul Allen at least.

“TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA “ ha ha ha

Definitely. I remember going to see it in the cinema and in bulk laughing. The people with me were bemused and questioned my sanity. The relief washed over me in a “awesome wave” when I learned Bale and the director said it was a dark satirical comedy of sorts.

The scene where he’s running with the chainsaw and then goes “AAAAAAA” I couldn’t stop laughing.

(Maybe my sanity is off)

Haha not sure I laughed at the chainsaw scene like but there were some cracking one liners from Bateman in it. Actually the scene in the laundrette "You are a fool!" is brilliant.

Actually couldn't stand the book, just a meandering mess. One of my all time favourite films though

I can see where you`re coming from, but once you get into the flow of the way it`s written ( not easy ) I enjoyed it.

The film is brilliant though.

I`d like to see a remake, Bateman played by Nicolas Cage lol

Nicolas Cage was supposed to be SuperMan at one point . That would of been...interesting

What were you expecting mate? Plot not good enough? Its a giant dinosaur and a giant gorilla giving it the marquess of queensberry.

Mississippi Burning what an absolute masterpiece.

Aye, if youve already made the decision to sit in front of a film called Godzilla vs. Kong, you need to set your expectations to "low" and put your brain in sleep mode
