Can we have a serious discussion just for once?
How can Paul Allen have dinner with Bateman's lawyer in London if he's dead? And why did he choose not to kill his secretary?

Because Bateman is dead and the movie is purgatory
He was mistaken and the secretary was Paul Allen, his drawings were the News.
He's not dead you nitwit. He's just mentally ill.
The only person he killed (In the film) was the homeless guy.
Everything else is delusion.
>How can Paul Allen have dinner with Bateman's lawyer in London if he's dead?
His lawyer mistook someone else for Paul Allen, just like everyone else is constantly getting each other's names wrong because of how self-obsessed they are.
>And why did he choose not to kill his secretary?
She had an admirable pair of digits.
You say that the secretary was secretly Paul Allen? If Bateman invited his secretary to dinner and she's in fact Paul Allen, doesn't that make Bateman gay? Not that there's anything wrong with it.
He didn't actually have dinner with Paul Allen in London but thought he did since the point is that all these guys are so self obsessed that he didn't get the other guys name right. It's more clearly put in the book.
I'm disappointed with y'all.
in the book: maybe he killed someone
in the movie: he absolutely murdered several people, including paul allen.
>How can Paul Allen have dinner with Bateman's lawyer in London if he's dead?
he didn't. the joke is that all of the wall street guys are completely identical. that's part of the point of the movie.

Woah woah nitwit. Cool it with the digit posting.
Fuck you Baxter
ever think about what an utter failure this movie would have been if they kept leo's casting? he would've fucked it all up. Bale was flawless.
I'm not sure with the movie. That book of doodles he did seems to point to it all being a delusion, also that car somehow going up in flames and him being able to get away so easy.
The book makes you wonder if it was all real, the movie seems to say none of it was real.
You actually have it the wrong way round.
In the book he killed LOADS of people, but not Paul Allen. In the film he only killed the homeless guy and his dog.
t.read the book.

Yeah, I think Bale is underrated .He has some movies and role where he proved he's even better than Leo.
but i read the book too
>In the film he only killed the homeless guy and his dog.
the director said that it wasn't supposed to be all in his head on Charlie Rose
Them dubs. Also
>The book makes you wonder if it was all real, the movie seems to say none of it was real.
Yep
We've had serious discussions on this movie before. How did you miss that?
Enjoy Dorsia lads
c-can I come?
Ridley Scott also said Deckard was a replicant whereas Harrison Ford told him that was retarded and the book itself had Deckard being unarguably human. Directors don't know shit about what the actual writer meant.
but the director wrote the screenplay, and Bret Easton Ellis has said that the movie isn't true to the book.
Ellis said he dislikes how the only clue to the ambiguity is the the very ending, which imo doesn't actually add a lot of ambiguity. you can draw a ton of murders and still murder people
Nobody goes there anymore
The writer was sitting right next to her though

Give me a short but detailed account of the first chapter of the book.
If you can't reply within 4 minutes, I'll assume you looked it up on Google. GO!
uhh he's getting drinks at a bar with his ''friends'' and evelyn i think, he's name dropping brands constantly, idk i read it 3 years ago :(
Mistaken identity is a recurring theme throughout the film. Bateman himself is mistook as Halberstram by Paul Allen, and there are a number of other instances of it happening throughout the film. It's commentary on the vapidity and vacuousness of society at the time. No one is really a unique individual ("Hip to be Square"), but not only that, everyone is far too self-absorbed to even bother perceiving others as such.
So when Bateman's lawyer tells him that he saw Paul Allen in London, we can't take it for granted. Did he? Or did he see someone who he thought was Paul Allen? Was Bateman just a delusional narcissist? Or was he a bonafide lunatic? The point is moot. Whether he committed those murders or not, society is so apathetic and self-absorbed, that even if he did, they may as well have never happened.
I read it again last year and I can barely remember but I think you're right. There's a lot more name drops of brands in the book than the film.
The entire first chapter is him at a dinner party.
Fuck off.
>missing the point this much
Bale's character isn't Bateman.
Yes but you see Batman was gay because of his squeazing of tender chicken neck thighs in the bathtub toilet sequence, he is trying to find disitniushemet=nt from the green goblin, dorsia was his employer.
Jesus dorsia on fridays howd he swing that?
same thing. dialogue and alcohol
>the book itself had Deckard being unarguably human
Blade Runner is so far removed from Androids that they may as well be completely separate works.
Anyway, that's another case where the answer isn't actually important, it's the question that is.
Woah woah. Hold up Halberstram. Just because the man does care for his looks and takes really good care of his body doesn't mean he's home of secs. If you wash your penis does that make you gay?
HEY WHAT YOU have a little chewaowa yap yap ehehehehehehe, dorsia phew. He's gay because of the neck grabbing scene, and the cnsistent hairy hairy touchy touchty.
Batman = Bateman all along
No, it isn't.
You haven't read the book, user. Although you should, cause then you might not seem like such a fucking idiot when commenting on the subject.
It's a pretty easy read with the exception of a few chapters. Give it a pop.
but i read the book user, who can remember 100% of the details of every book they've ever read
me after reading war and peace in 4th grade
In that scene he's clearly disgusted by Louis. That nigga gay af.
He was desgusted by himself
Indeed. But he was not gay.
I wonder why that could be.
that's pretty cool
Do yourself a favour and stop fronting. You're convincing nobody, m8.
>go on Yea Forums
>insecure guy accusing some other guy of not having read a 300 page famous novel in simple prose across multiple posts
lmao
It's the very first chapter of the book. And anybody who bothered to read would know it sticks with you throughout the whole thing.
it's also pretty funny because my original assertion that set him off is at odds with the author's own interpretation of the book lol
well, his contradiction of my assertion** was at odds with Ellis' view of the book

You wanted a thread about American Psycho, and that's what you got. Quit being a samefag.
>t. Paul Allen
Yes he was that is why he was disgusted by himself.
Huh?
Jesus, those are some super digits.
I believe in meme magic
It's not possible to have this ratio of gets in every single American psycho thread
There's a reason why it's called meme magic user.
Excuse me, I have to return some repeating digits
Despite samefagging, an actual discussion happened. Bueno
Cool it with the anti digit remarks

It really is real, meme magic it..it's really REAL
Impressive.
let's have a look at Paul Allen's digits.
in the book, it is because Jean is actually a person and not a walking asshole and he feels the only real connection in the world to her.
I can't recall about Allen, but I think it is because he was mistaken. Everyone mistakes each other cos they are shallow, just like Allen mistook Patrick for Halberstram. Now, others are mistaking some british guy for Allen.
Here they are.
check em
I have them.
No, I have them.
no, i'm the batman
If I get anything but digits this thread will be shut down

BRING IT BACK
holy trinity
The magic is still with us.
>And why did he choose not to kill his secretary?
Because she had genuine feelings for him
LOOKS LIKE DIGITS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
>In the book he killed LOADS of people, but not Paul Allen
That's pretty much up to debate because the murders are all completely over the top ridiculous
No.
Both the writer and the director said it's real, it's just that it doesn't matter if it happend or not because nobody gives a fuck.
back to back trips holy cracker
hes in a taxi with price and then they go to Evelyns place and eat fuckin sushi
read the book he pours acid in women's brains and fucks chopped off heads and kills a kid.
And it's also pretty funny when he takes valium all the time and is just a drooling shell , is asked to buy crack cocaine and just swallows it .He also meets tom cruise in an elevator. And the book is more ambigious about if he did all those criminalos or not

Alright, alright, settle down, enough discussing the finer points of how shallow, apathetic and self-obssessed upper Wall Street society is, or if Bateman even killed anyone whatsoever or if he was truly schizophrenic. Let's see Paul Allen's card.
