Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah thanks for that link. Such a good read it almost makes me want to give American Psycho another try. Â Â Could you not get through it? Â I absolutely loved it. I can see why it might not be for everyone though. Did you watch the film? Did you enjoy that? It's obviously not got as much detail as the film, and some of my favourite bits get missed out, but Bale does nail the character completely.

King Pitcos Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The film's way better than the book, but I've got little time for either. If you edited out the lists of what everyone's wearing, American Psycho would be a pamphlet. I know that the lists of what everyone's wearing were key to the story he was telling, but still shit. The rat bit was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Butternut Squash Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah I found the book quite tedious to be honest. One day I'll give it a second chance cos that's worked before (Catch 22). The film was a laugh though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted August 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2013 Easton Ellis isn't worth listening to at all. His position these days is Contrary Troll, and whatever's coming out of his mouth is purely based on what he thinks will most paint him as a convention-flaunting cat who just doesn't give a fuck. Give his Twitter a follow -- nobody ever tried harder at letting everyone know how much they don't care about stuff. Â "That opinion you think I would have, well I actually think the exact opposite. Oh, have I shocked you?" Â The Canyons is the most self-parodying thing ever, and not because of Lohan's performance. Characters over-enunciating the word 'Fuck' like we're all going to gasp ourselves out of our seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2013 Did you read the article? Â Because I absolutely get what you're saying and yes, he does just try to be contrary a lot, but when the one agenda is being pushed particularly hard it's actually worthwhile having someone play devil's advocate to open up the discussion a little. Â He makes points that definitely made me, and I'm sure many others, think about the issues in a different way or from a different view point that I didn't consider.

Vamp Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The Guardian's covered this story with a line that's pretty much "hey, wrestling's full of flamboyant guys wearing no clothes, gay people are gonna fit right in" which is a nice bit of stereotyping. I think they get this wrestling lark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Most the major papers have covered it, it fits in nicely with the coverage of the Russian law furore. Which is a happy coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
