I just watched this movie. It’s so bad! Why? What am I missing?
I guess it depends on the viewer’s tastes. It was hilarious to me personally. The overly serious way he describes his metrosexual routine, the importance of the quality of business cards, etc. The horror aspect and gore takes a backseat for me and I view it as a comedy.
It is a comedy! Its all one huge absurd comedy of the fragile, toxic masculine existence. So you’ve nailed it.
So you don’t like Huey Lewis and The News?
I like vanilla, some people like chocolate

Chocolate desserts always have vanilla in them, vanilla never has chocolate in it.
Just think about that for a minute…

Lol, I’ll give you the upvote for the entertainment!
Vanilla is so… Vanilla. (Though I think both have their place)
Lol, OK, I’ll give you that phrase at least.
But I disagree that vanilla is any kind of simple or plain. It makes chocolate more chocolatey. It adds complexity and depth wherever it goes.
I really do prefer it over chocolate.
I only know the other way around. Vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup is great.
Isn’t vanilla made from beaver ass holes or something
Stop trying to make “objectively” the new “literally”
edit: nvm, I see you’re just doing some good trolling. gg
It’s hilarious! My favorite Bale performance easily. Willem Dafoe is excellent too. I love the whole over-the-top 80s NYC yuppie caricature.
It’s also a scathing nightmare parable about the raw pursuit of wealth and influence.
Feels like Fight Club to me where there is a subset of young men who like it, not recognizing it’s a parody. Then there’s people who get it and like it as a comedy. And the obviousness of which is which is not always clear, so you will never see me talking about whether I like it or not because it invites the first type.
People who think you’re supposed to like Bateman are people you don’t need to associate with, its a great litmus test
I don’t really remember it, so I guess it isn’t very memorable. It seems not to have been especially praised by critics, nor by the author. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Psycho_(film)#Reception
Original author [Bret Easton] Ellis said, “American Psycho was a book I didn’t think needed to be turned into a movie”, as “the medium of film demands answers”, which would make the book “infinitely less interesting”. He also said that while the book attempted to add ambiguity to the events and to Bateman’s reliability as a narrator, the film appeared to make them completely literal before confusing the issue at the very end.
For the memes.
Why do you think it’s bad?

Believe it or not, it was a running chainsaw. In a Manhattan apartment building. After she ran screaming and punching all the doors. And no one noticed.

I agree with you. Lots of people in this thread assuming you “didn’t get it”, even though the satire punches you in the face.
Right? Give me some layers between the performance and the message. Watching it made me feel talked down to, as I was a child.
anyone knows the same looking headset as it was in the movie where he is walking in the office room
