Alrrrrrrrrrrright, that was a ride, haha! 

BUT I have to say, it was nothing like I had expected. And clearly it had this underlying message. Not just 'a creep killer'. Very, very interesting to say the least :).

Yeah, it's a really smart satire, there are layers. There's a lot that can be said but I'll stick to one noteworthy piece of trivia: never showing them working was a conscious decision. The satire was skewering these people who make so much money but don't actually do any work, it takes absolutely no skill or level of expertise beyond being an unself-conscious bullshitter with no conscience. Also (okay, two things), the way they all cover up for Patrick's crimes, the way they look out for one another was, again, a conscious decision by the author because that's how class warfare works. (Some people think Patrick didn't commit the crimes, it was all just in his mind. It can be read either way. I tend to read it as he did, largely because the satire works better that way.)

I also just think it's *so* funny. "We should do it, we should get married." "I can't take the time off work." And something about "I have to go return some video tapes" as his excuse every time just cracks me up.

One piece of trivia about this film is among my favorite of all time. Co-writer/director Mary Harron instructed Willem Dafoe to play every scene where he speaks to Bateman in three ways: certain that Bateman was guilty, unsure whether or not Bateman was guilty, and totally unsuspecting of Bateman. Then she cut back and forth between all three of them during the scenes, so that the viewer is never sure whether or not Kimball is onto Bateman. The thing Patrick points at his secretary's head is a nail gun. The drug that predators slip into drinks is called a "roofie." So you were close. I dunno about everyone else, but *I* certainly would love to see Legally Blonde (and Liar Liar for that matter).

And the "let's see Paul Allen's card" meme. Timeless. Also, I just love "your compliment was sufficient, Lewis".

I am actually watching the movie with one of the commentary tracks on because I revisited it somewhat recently, and Mary Harron talks about the idea of Bateman's Ed Gein anecdote being too far for his awful misogynistic friends at the same moment you comment on it!

"What kind of stains are they?".... Oh Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary....

The cat's fine; don't worry, he only killed people.

You're confused about how the lawyer had lunch with Paul Allen: everybody confuses everybody in this movie. Nobody knows who anybody else is, they're so narcissistic that they never get anybody else's name correct. The lawyer had dinner with somebody he *thought* was Paul Allen, just like the lawyer didn't know that was Patrick Bateman at the end.

And of course how Paul himself thought he was having dinner with Marcus Halberstram when he was dining with Bateman.

Yeah, I halfway typed that initially but I forgot the name of the guy Paul thought Patrick was (Marcus Halberstram), so I didn't type it; exactly.

"The cat's fine; don't worry, he only killed people." That poor dog would disagree with the second part.

I think you would enjoy Legally Blonde. It sounds lame (at least it did to me) but I really liked it. :)

When Patrick Bateman said "I want to fit in," I love when Mary said "why?' I'm always like "fuck fitting in." Especially that crowd he hangs out with. They remind me of little kids who think they are cool if they act like this and that. It's definitely one of those movies where "did he really kill those people or was it all in his head?" Maybe he kill some and some he thought he did. That business card is a crack up. I saw a post of The Joker in The Dark knight giving his joker's card to the mob bosses saying "here's my card" and the picture underneath is of Patrick Bateman looking at Paul Allen's card lol. I do get a kick out of this movie. Excuse me, I have to return some video tapes.
