WAAF was making fun of this on the air this morning and I wondered if any of you guys heard about it.

American Psycho ... no one should be too surprised
"Sir, would you like to hear the specials?"
"Not if you want to keep your spleen..."

"I have to return some videotapes"
Hahaha. I like when he throws the chainsaw at the chick from atop the stairs and then just lets out a scream that sounds something like: "DAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!."
Great flick.

I pulled that line on my wife where he's telling the hooker the rules:
"You're name is Christy, you are only to respond to Christy"
She now responds to Christy
one of my favorite movies of all time
Ever read the novel? If not, do it now!
you know, its one of those things that crosses my mind to do but I never seem to think about it when I'm in a bookstore. I should really try to make a note of that
was it much different than the movie?
I really should read the novel as well. My friend told me it's excellent.

Not that much. In fact, the movie is one of the best adaptations I can think of.
The infamous "chainsaw scene" actually isn't in the novel, but basically everything else... and much more.
Other than that there are just minor changes, like with names (i.e. Paul Allen becomes Paul Owen etc.).
You just learn a lot more about the other characters and Ellis' writing is fantastic.
It is excellent. Not only the insanely detailed gore and sex scenes make it a good read, but even more the vastly overdrawn yuppie-lifestyle. So much tongue in cheek sarcastic humor.
People often fail to realize that this is a social critique in the first place. But that's actually what makes it such an outstanding novel.
Highly recommended (for people with a strong stomach)!
