I hope the guy who plays Pat Bateman has a "good" personality cause he's ugly as shit. Even with the OK body, his face? Can you say atrophied raccoon on meth? Also, I bet most of the guys who luuuuv this movie's "satire" about yuppie culture couldn't please a woman if they had a three-dimensional clitoris diagram beside them. Just a thought.
@moonbeamflowerpuff You do know the movie is called American PSYCHO. There's no reason to get all offended & shit, taking it out on Christian Bale and his "OK body".
ed gein didnt say jack shit, it was Edmund Emil "Big Ed" Kemper III (born December 18, 1948), also known as "The Co-ed Killer" who said this to a journalist while he was in lock up during his trial.
0:10 Hahahaha, fucking haha. I don't feel that way myself, but fuck this film made me laugh the first time I saw it. It's like every rich dude I've ever met rolled into one.
@BattlerUshiromiya There are no girls with good personalities, but there are also no girls on the internet. I blew your cover Chris Hansen, looks like you won't get to use your "take a seat" line any time soon.
This scene is so good! And girls; this is actually what guys think about you. Just like when you think of guys as independent immature creatures who are thiking with their dicks all the time.
I am, nontheless, fully aware of that there are women who are both attractive and "smart".
Lol, nice try "PennyLane", but you're completely wrong. If you've READ the book and actually understand what's going on, you'd know that they're most definitely NOT making fun of people this "shallow". That wasn't the author's (or the director's) intention at all...
And, FYI, they're absolutely RIGHT! There are NO girls with "good" personalities. Or, even if there were, no man would care anyways...
Hahahaha! It's so funny how you think you know what you're talking about. I've read the book. TWICE. And I've written an essay that analyzed it in English class sophomore year. It's a fucking satire, you idiot. In case you don't what a satire is, here's a definition:
a literary tone used to ridicule or make fun of human vice or weakness, often with the intent of correcting, or changing, the subject of the satiric attack.
Ellis even told Guinever Turner, the co writer of the script, that he honestly thought it was a feminist book. The entire purpose of it was to ridicule the materialistic, shallow, and vapid culture of the 80s. Hence the entire chapter on Huey Lewis and the News. You honestly don't think that "that wasn't the author's (or the director's) intention at all"? Read it again. And I'm guessing you didn't know this, but the director was a woman. She, along with Guinevere Turner, were also the writers.
So agree with this mysoginism all you want, but the intention was to ridicule this shallow attitude, not endorse it. It's like people who think that the Colbert Report seriously supports President Bush.
Hmmm.. Well, you spelled MISOGYNY wrong, so your English paper couldn't have been THAT great. I don't think they're "endorsing misogyny" at all, but that of course depends on the precise definition of the term. If you'd like to give one, go for it.
Well, as I said, I wasn't talking about the central message of the book, only the intentions of the literary characters themselves. You're clearly an idiotic, deranged BITCH, but you're right about the book being critical of the lifestyles it portrays. That is very obvious. But people can still read the words of the literary characters and come away with different thoughts. I think much of what they say about women is right on the mark. You probably disagree. Good for YOU! GO GIRL!
Actually, I wasn't even talking about the structure of the book, or what literary category the book itself falls into. My point was simply that these particular CHARACTERS aren't trying to make fun of people you consider shallow. Of course the book is critical of the yuppie culture of the 80's, but you need to understand that different people will interpret what the books says in their own way, no matter how great you think your English paper was.
I apologize if I came off rude, I wasn't aware you were referring to the characters instead of the book itself. My point was that the purpose of this scene was not to laugh with them, but to laugh at them, so the comments agreeing with them made the posters look stupid, like they didn't understand the point. And FYI, I know you don't care, but great looking girls with good personalities DO exist ;)
Came off rude? Why, how could POSSIBLY think that, when you carefully avoided such terms like "idiot" and respectfully assumed that I was familiar with basic literary terminology like "satire"? Oh, whoops, you DIDN'T do that!
BTW, what the HELL are you talking about? Where exactly did you discover that the "purpose" of this scene is to disagree with them and laugh AT their attitudes?
Perhaps the reason that the responses came across as evidence of misunderstanding is because the posters weren't considering the scene in the context of the ENTIRE film/book. Why in the world do you suppose it is necessary to refer immediately to what you consider to be the "Grand Purpose" of the entire production when someone makes a response to this ISOLATED scene involving characters with their own independent personalities? Where did you get this special authority, Penny?
"...or talented, god knows what the fuck that means" LOL

Words of wisdom, yet I must say that ugly chicks generally also have a bad personality.
They feel they "deserve" to be treated specially because life was so "harsh" to them.

I was joking, I know this is a satire of the yuppie culture, duh. It's not like any normal person would go around saying misogynic things.
It is a good joke to tell some men, and then laugh when they laugh.
