American Psycho - Business Card Scene

jake says...

I love the movie and the book.

I liked that the movie took a different angle regarding whether or not Bateman actually killed anyone, especially because it leaves you wondering if he did or not (after the phone call at the end).

Reading it changed the way I looked at the world in a major way.. I can't say that about many other novels.

Charles Manson's Epic Answer

i think what he's trying to say is:

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusionary. And although I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable. I simply am not there.

American Psycho - Chainsaw Scene

That is part of the point. Here is some info from Wikipedia:

There has been much debate among fans as to what extent the movie was supposed to have taken place in Bateman's mind. It is arguable that Bateman, as is also true of the novel, never commits any acts of violence. This is arguable because: one, Patrick is always alone with his victim(s) when he commits a crime; two, the evidence of his crimes disappear mysteriously; and, three, the characters never acknowledge Patrick's obvious claims of psychosis. There are several instances in the movie where the reality of the events is called into question:
* After Patrick kills Paul Allen and drags his body through the lobby a blood trail is clearly visible. Later, after Patrick talks to Louis Carruthers, the blood trail is gone.
* When Patrick standing in the middle of a street engages in a gun battle with the four policemen, he fires at one of the police cars causing it to explode. Patrick then stares at his gun in obvious disbelief.
* When Patrick returns to Paul Allen's apartment, all evidence of his crimes are gone and there is a real estate agent present who appears to have no knowledge of the events that supposedly transpired there (though the real estate agent's hostile attitude and behavior creates ambiguity as to whether she has knowledge and is covering up the crime or not, and whether her hostility is genuine, or his paranoid perception)
* Much like the novel, this movie does make a satire of the yuppie society. With that view in mind, it is possible to come to the conclusion that the covering up of crimes and murders existed. This is highlighted when Bateman confronts his lawyer, Harold, and him saying that he had dinner with Paul Allen in London just ten days prior. This presents two possibilities: one, Bateman imagined killing Paul Allen altogether; or, two, as everyone was confusing Bateman with Halberstam, it is possible that in the fake society, no one really knew who anyone was.
* Other characters in the movie repeatedly refer to Patrick as a "loser" while mistaking him for someone else. This is taken by some as another example of Patrick's warped sense of reality reflecting his own feelings of inadequacy.
* When operating an ATM towards the end of the film, the screen suddenly displays the message "FEED ME A STRAY CAT". Patrick picks up a stray cat nearby, tries to put the kitten into the card slot and pulls out his pistol, when a nearby old woman stops him he shoots her and runs away leaving his credit card in the ATM.
* There is conflicting commentary on the DVD from Mary Harron and Guinevere Turner as to whether or not the crimes actually occurred.

America's Got Talent - 11 year old girl ROCKS the stage

parra says...

Hmm, if you forget for a minute that she's a little girl, once you get past the old Mariah-style vocal-showing-off it wasn't a very good performance. I don't see why she should be favoured just cause she has a freakishly grownup singing voice.

After all, that gimmick's only going to last a few more years.

Haha I loved the judges comments though, it reminded me of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho - "I SAID, do not wear that outfit again. Wear a dress or skirt or something... and high heels, I like high heels"
