American Psycho (2000): How Has An Entire Online Subculture Missed The Joke Completely With This One?!

American Psycho (2000): How Has An Entire Online Subculture Missed The Joke Completely With This One?!

This week, Ben and Rob take a very detailed look at their business cards and the American Psycho (2000) revival of Mary Harron’s razor-sharp adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s notorious novel, starring Christian Bale as Wall Street’s most immaculately moisturised murderer, with Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Reese Witherspoon and Chloë Sevigny along for the ride.

How much of the book’s relentless, stomach-churning brutality survived the journey to the screen, and why did Harron and co-writer Guinevere Turner decide to play it as a satire? How did a film this divisive ever get made, with Lionsgate wanting a bigger star, Leonardo DiCaprio and Oliver Stone circling, and Harron briefly shown the door before Bale got her job back? And what about the men online who treat Patrick Bateman as an aspirational icon? Do they realise they’ve missed the joke entirely, and that he’s the most pathetic man in the room?

And finally... what does it really mean?!
