Absolutely. I’ve pointed to this movie a bunch of times as a perfect insight into the political hellworld we are currently living in.

This, this, this, so painfully much. We’re being controlled by a conservative death cult that wants grandma to die for the dow, parishioners to die coming to church, and homeless and unemployed people to just die anyway.  America is a brilliant white smile with hideous tooth decay beneath the gum line. 

Yeah, I can see Donnie Jr. loving this film unironically.

You need look no further than the First Family to see that the Patrick Bateman aesthetic is still alive and well, skin cream, hair gel and all. 

I assumed from the movie the real estate agent had everything cleaned up in order to sell the apartment for the highest value. It was a nice place and you don't necessarily want it to get out that there was a ton of dead murdered bodies in there. 

I never once got the feeling that any of it was in Bateman’s head. The film’s conclusion, it seemed to me, suggested that the people on the fringes of Bateman’s world (real estate agents, etc), were basically colluding to allow this kind of horror to continue in the interests of a misogynist plutocracy. But that was…

Really enjoyed this interview (and love the film). This particular thread is interesting:

There is no reason to read the book more than once, and with Bret Easton Ellis antics within the last few years, not sure you should read any of his books.

Yo, Bale won his Oscar for The Fighter, he unfortunately lost to a set of fake teeth playing a neutered straight-washed version of Freddie Mercury in 2018.

This one hits close to home - not because of Prine (I like him, but never listened to him much), but because my father, who is also 73, is in the hospital recovering from a major cardiac operation, and was diagnosed with Covid-19 a couple days ago. I’m still hoping that he pulls through, but right now I’m not…

Rumor mill also says it’s about Drax’s daughter not being dead after all, and being Moondragon to boot (which is sorta sideways comics accurate, since comics Drax is a human soul in a fully god-created artifical body designed to destroy Thanos and before his soul went all spacey he was just some guy with a daughter…

This warms the cackles of my old school AV Club heart...

It’s more “Marvel has figured out how to utlitize jaw-boning actors on press junkets to score themselves millions of dollars in free advertising.”

Karen Gillan as Nebula would be gold in a Taika Waititi directed Thor movie 

I think they said the next full guardians is about Rocket’s origins, and he and Thor are a great team so I’m guessing it will be at least rocket and groot.

Are we still doing CancerAids?

A good editor would have steered this into something more substantial. For example, he completely skips over “The Wild, Wild West” and there has to be a lot to dish about there.

It’s an odd, unsatisfying book that emphasizes at best mildly amusing personal anecdotes over his actual career and thoughts on filmmaking. A good editor would have steered this into something more substantial. For example, he completely skips over “The Wild, Wild West” and there has to be a lot to dish about there.
