Yes, i remember reading American Psycho, and constantly telling myself that it'll be grand, this'll only last a page or two and then it'll setlle down. And then breasts exlplode. But it'll calm down! And then a kid gets stabbed in the throat. But it'll calm down!! Very, very uncomfortable experience, yet strangely compelling all the same. I thought the film was grand, but by leaving out 90% of the violence, it kinda just ended up as Wall Street with better jokes. The Rules Of Attaction, however, is a brilliant film, although i have yet to read Ellis' novel. 57600@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Apr 2004 10:18:37 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/12/033623.php#comment-57589 Oh my God! Just about the funniest damn post I've ever read......Excellent work here. I figure any post that references <i>Amityville II</i>, Robert Wise AND <i>Duel</i>, has got something going for it. Glad to hear they properly renamed <i>From Dusk Till Dawn</i>..... As for blow jobs and heads of corpses - uncomfortable to say the least, though remember reading about such activities in Brett Easton Ellis' <i>American Psycho</i>...a book I refused to keep on my bookshelf after reading it. Though I did respect the film version, which left out that specific activity...... 57589@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Apr 2004 07:32:00 EDT
