95% of Yea Forums doesn't realize that Sean Bateman and Patrick Bateman are brothers and that the Rules of Attraction...

I am the 5% AMA

watched this the other day
fuckin gash film
possibly the worst ever made

>Me on the bed

Brain dead poster. Honestly I'm sure everyone hates you

I watched this movie when I was 16 years old and absolutely hated it, thinking to myself "there's no fucking way real life is so retarded, I'll totally find a loyal girlfriend with no drama" then a year later all my friends started dating and cheating on each other and I realized the absolutely fucking retarded bullshit of movies like this is closer to the truth. Anyway long story short I passed up several opportunities for "relationships" in my 20s and I'm a wizard now and only mildly regret it. Thanks for reading my blogpost.

>No one posts the webm where he punches Jessica Biel in the face

>implying more than 5% of Yea Forums read
Also: is this movie worth watching?

very nice

I knew about this as a kid, I just didn't want to acknowledge it as canon because Rules of Attraction was shit.

>is this movie worth watching?
Absolutely not, but the orgy party and sex scenes with prime Jessica Biel and Shannyn Sossamon might be worth a look.

I think Patrick took him to Dorsia for his birthday, the only time it is actually visited.

less then zero was an ellis novel first made into a movie which is also set in these novels timeline

80% of tv doesn't know Patrick Bateman is anything other than the dubbs guy

Now I'm interested in reading these books for the lore.

American psycho is honestly the most tedious book I have ever read
it's intentionally like this but it's a hard read.

i watched that whole stupid movie and he never says "doubles" once

Pretty cool shot

worst thing to come out of that movie but it is kinda cool i guess. and that version of that donovan colours song is only available on the greatest hits comp record, not the single or album version. i always thought that was kinda funny because i always preferred it to the original version.

The director tried to get Bale to reprise his role in a cameo, but he turned him down. They ended up filming it anyways with Casper Van Dien in the role, but it got cut.

Realized

no i don't.

You have been pleb filtered out.
While not perfect, it's an awesome movie.
There are few reasons why I believe it stands out, and it deserves more recognition than it has.
Most people dismiss it as a dark early 20yo sexual dynamics comedy. Most people don't even realize it's from the Bret Easton Ellis's novel.
What the movie is about is expressing the chaotic nature of a an era approaching its end. Same as the book, but the book is set in the '80s.
The movie, instead, has been filmed in 2001. It's not clear in which decade it is set, everything tells it's contemporary to the filming, but for instance there are no cellphones in the movie. The intention however is clearly to make it about the precarious Zeitgeist of the beginning of the new millennium. And, in my opinion, it nails it.
There is, among the youth depicted in it, this diffused feeling of not having the slightest idea about what the future will hold; not even the near future, not even the immediate future.
Far from being a conscious existential stand, it was a mere state of things in those crucial years where we entered the new millennium.
If you haven't lived in that short era, you probably can't understand it. Nobody had a clue where the world was going to be.
The movie was so in line with its epoch that it actually triggered a quite remarkable synchronicity: the scene for the "end of the world party" has been filmed on 9/11 2001.

They meet in American Psycho and Patrick doesn't like his brother. His mother is also in a sanitarium.

Now if Christian Bale was in it it would have been epic.
Too bad they cut it out, the actor playing Patrick wasn't bad but American Psycho was still strong in people's imagery.

Hey big bro

Based

Impressive. Very nice.

>95% of people don’t know this
Are you a fucking retard? Maybe you shouldn’t post anymore.

>sperging about a low rent 90s poor attempt at satire
Fucking kill yourself

ellis is a shitty author and you seem like a brainlet

Yea I liked it alot, good conversion of the book and I use his line 'just deal with it' almost every day with moaning co-workers.
