Mary Harron and Christian Bale took dogshit source material and turned it into something enjoyable

I realized with American Psycho - and my recent love of Spree - is that I only really like nihilistic white male serial killer genre when the story and portrayal is all about what giant fucking insecure superficial embarrassing tools men can be.

That's why the book didn't work. Because B.E.E. is a giant fucking insecure superficial embarrassing tool, as you say

Makes sense to me now, thanks!

Yes, but…
I think Bret Ellis Easton’s own toxic insecurity does help make it a better lampooning for source material. He tells on himself

At least he gave us a good indicator of who to avoid. Anyone who says their favorite writer is Bret Easton Ellis 🚩

I'm convinced had a man directed it and been in charge, it would have been awful. She really is talented and actually cared about the project.

Just imagine how bad it would have been had DOR directed it

I have never seen the movie, but this gif reminds me of Dead or Alive Right Round.
