How much of "American Psycho" takes place only in Christian Bale's head?

'Heat' would've been such a good movie if De Niro had killed Pacino at the end instead of the other way 'round.

Surely we don't always have to have the "good guy" winning.

I was so bored by then it didn't matter who won, just that it ended.

Just saw 'Notorious.'

Decent movie.

I liked it too, reminded me of some of my younger days with the music and the acting was better than I expected.

Pac is still > Biggie.
Big Damage
I hope they come up with a 2pac movie that does his story justice.

I was 18 when 2pac died and 19 when Biggie died. Because they were older than me at the time it didn't sink into me at the time just how short their lives were.

Watching this movie now at 31 it really hit home that these guys were just so young. Tragic. Both talented young men.

I read today that there will be another Mad Max flick made later this year.

Mel Gibson wont be in it. The director said he is too old and doesn't care too much about acting these days.

'My cousin Vinny' is a great film, the scene where he goes into the cell to see them for the first time since getting arrested is so well written.

Yeah that is the big argument with it and the book. I think it is open for interpretation on purpose. For me I always think most of it to be honest since some much of it is just such OTT violence to the point of almost comedy which would point to being the fantasies of a fucked up mind.

One of my favorite movies ever (like True Romance is seems like it is either way loved or way hated) but that always pisses me off too.

For American Psycho figured most of it was in his head. Its the only way I could explain the ending. I never read the book, is it work a gander?

I always hated the ending of heat. De Niro should have killed Pacino. Also one thing that always bugged me about Heat is that Henry Rollins would have totally kicked the shit out of Pacino.
boyakasha!
Well what the fuck was that putrid-looking growth on Val Kilmer's left elbow in Heat? It added nothin to the storyline and seemed odd to have such a weird birthmark or injury with no explanation.

Ha. Found a photo.

I like the book quite a bit but I'm a fan of Bret Easton Ellis, it can't touch Less then Zero, the Informers or Rules of Attraction IMO, def his 4th best work. The book is like the movie except the satire and stuff is a lot more drawn out and funny but so is the OTT violence to the point of almost being cartoonist and horrific. I would say if you can stomach reading that kind of stuff and take it for the point being made the rest of the book will more then satisfy you. Def much better then the movie which to be honest I only sorta like but find pretty boring.

According to wiki, they found a tiny set of teeth and partial mandible when they removed the growth. Yuckles.

always wondered myself. its really left up to interpretation which kinda sucks but I still enjoy the movie greatly. Haven't read the book but from research, the book doesn't offer up any more information as to if it was real or not.

I have to think most of it was in his head. Aside from the OTT violence, theres no possible way anyone wouldn't go to jail for the shit he does towards the end.

Aficionado
It was all in his head. That's my interpretation of it. I thought that was pretty clear. He was just a loser with a trust fund that had identity problems.

edit: great movie though

Any action/kung-fu flick fans? I just the the blu-ray movie Ip Man with Donnie Yen. It's a loosely based autobiography of Master Ip the first man to teach Wing Chun who happened to be Bruce Lee's master. It has some slow parts but I liked it more than Jet Li's Invincible. The fights were incredible.

I don't pick on girls on guys smaller than girls. But if Bruce got out of line, I would surely shut him up with a swiftness. I could use him for curls if he needed work.

Pretty Dope Special last night on History Channel. I liked what the Scots were doing in Glasgow more than what I saw going on in the HK dojo. lots of Horizontal punching and other unfamiliar techniques?? I guess people still interpret "No way as the way" as they see fit.

I saw that last night too & it was good. Jet Li was the shit for a while but I was really disappointed when he did that flick with Jackie Chan. I always thought if they were to do a movie it would be more serious type flick.

He weighs the same as my wife.

So I was being more fair comparing him to other manlets like Kid Yamamoto or Urijah Faber.

Who would kick his ass.

After Fat Mark did. num2.gif

He'd hit you with an 8 punch combo before your drunk ass could even get off the stool.

Yeah, but Fat Mark is 230.

8 Bruce Lee punches on 230 lb. Mark = 8 wiffle balls thrown
1 Fat Mark shot on 115 lb. Bruce Lee = freight train.

Who said anything about me getting off a stool? One sweeping back slap would put an end to that. No doubt the speedy little bugger could land several shots before I got my hands on him. But it isn't as if he could do anything hurtful. Unless I was cast in his movie, then I would be a dead man.

If you can't connect, do you have power?

Mark wouldn't get close and would get tagged at will from what he would think is a Kicking range.

clearly this discussion requires the scientific breakdown and analysis from the team @ Deadliest Warriors®.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if Bruce Lee is close enough to hit Mark, then he is well within reach for Mark to grab him by the throat, lift him, and tee off on him a la watermelon punching guy.

He is the one that would have to get close to me. Then I would just pick him up with one hand and pound him with the other, then toss him away like garbage and resume drinking.

Pacman would Hattonize Bruce Lee, FWIW.

Mzonke Fana-Bruce Lee would a brutal mismatch for Bruce.
