What's the boards general thoughts here.

I am 30 and finally saw this movie last week. Not sure what to make of it. I watched it but felt like I was asking myself... Wtf... Most of the time.
The timing and sequence of the movie is so bizarre

It was hilarious in a weird way

I wouldn't call it a great movie, but very entertaining

It's an interesting movie. I encourage you to read some about the various interpretations of the different events. It is actually a satire of American capitalist culture. Definitely more than just surface value there. And yeah, it's pretty fricking weird.

I tried to convince my girlfriend that it was actually a comedy and she thought I must be a psycho myself. Glad to know I'm not.

Great movie. It's worth a few watches just to catch the subtle humor and cynicism in the dialogue. Now when I watch it, I can't help but think this is bruce wayne's story if his parents weren't murdered

Sometimes, this is the appropriate reaction fwiw.

I pretty sure that's what they were going for. Top five movie of the 90s.

quote:

Patrick Bateman: Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?

Paul Allen: They're OK.

Patrick Bateman: Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Paul Allen: Hey Halberstram.

Patrick Bateman: Yes, Allen?

Paul Allen: Why are there copies of the style section all over the place, d-do you have a dog? A little chow or something?

Patrick Bateman: No, Allen.

Paul Allen: Is that a rain coat?

Patrick Bateman: Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.


Good entertaining movie. The first time I watched it, I was just watched in awe of what would happen next (especially once he put on the raincoat).

Love it. I could watch it over and over.

I don't want you to get drunk, but that's a very fine Chardonnay you're not drinking.

It really makes the 80s seem like a terrible decade.
