"Where did you get that overnight bag?" 🤣That always cracks me up
....I..have to return some video tapes.
The red headed woman Bateman kills in the backhalf of the movie is Guinevere Turner, who wrote the movie and is actually a lesbian in real life
She is not slick. She wrote herself to be in a kitty eating scene. I see no problems using your authority to get a whiff.
@@salmasalma2p662Literally who asked?
You say this completely unprompted yet your so un-self-aware that you can't even realise your own biases?
I'd bet ulimited money that straight cis men have wrote themselves into their own movies just so they can even get close to even touching a woman.
But does anyone care about that? Fuck no.
Of course that actually did happen and was and is a big issue of movie sets without intimacy coordinators, but NO, of course it's the marginalised lesbians who everyone and society already hates and struggle to even get jobs because of the people they're attracted to of all things.
So instead of being a weirdass bigot in some random comment section, maybe you should go touch some grass bud.
p.s. if you actually want to better yourself and be a good person maybe you should do some research on 'misogyny' and the demonization of lesbians throughout history.
it’s so funny how so many dons use this film as their sigma inspo as if it isn’t so clearly satire.
brilliant film.
The book is really great. It’s more gruesome, but it’s also quite funny. The satire elements are a lot more prominent.
Christian Bale NEVER gets stale 🤤
💀💀
“WE HAVE THE BOOK”
“WE DO!?!”
“YEA I GOT IT FOR YOU FOR CHRISTMAS”
🤣😂🤣☠️
And the best part, "I GAVE IT TO YOU FOR CHRISTMAS." Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
"Shes dancing like a grand theft auto character" is TOO ACCURATE 🤣
I'm of the mind that parts of it happened and parts of it he hallucinated (the chainsaw drop, the ATM asking for a cat, the cop shootout and the car blowing up.) But for sure I think he killed a buncha people and his confession really did mean nothing.
I don't believe he has committed any murders. I believe we are a watching a man consumed with the idea of killing people. A Psycho. There are no news reports or conversations about a serial killer on the loose. And detectives do not go on dinner dates with suspects. Blood does not disappear. No one ignores a man dragging a body in a bag or mistake it for a designer bag. There are hundreds of clues in this story. And nobody cleaned up that apartment!
I just wanted to sincerely thank you both. I’m going through a tough round of chemo, and your reactions have helped me tremendously. You take me out of my own head, and that’s exactly what I need. Thank you again.
Omg!! First off sending you so much positivity and good vibes-hope you’re doing okay and hanging in there the best you can. Thank you for the kind words, to be able to help in any way is amazing to hear. We’ll be thinking about you ❤️
@@PettyPumpkins Please keep reacting to these wonderful movies. You boys are the best!
This movie will forever be iconic and weirdly and disturbingly funny. One of my favorite movies ever from childhood to adulthood. Great reaction guys.
If you wanna see Reese Witherspoon get REALLY buck wild, Freeway is a masterpiece. Reese as Little Red Riding Hood being stalked by Keifer Sutherland as the Big Bad Wolf serial killer.
Oh trust it’s one of our favs! Any time people say Reese can’t act we point them to that movie and say get back to us after you educate yourself!!!
@@PettyPumpkinsyessss thats a great movie ❤
Fun fact: "Acquisitions" is misspelled on every business card. It's missing the "C". I have the same problem that you do: I can't help but be attracted to Christian Bale in this role, despite the horrendous monster he's playing. I'm a sucker for a gorgeous villain.
Patrick Bateman?? More like Patrick Ate-man (literally) 😩
Christian Bale?! More like Christian Rail!!!!!!
I mean, he IS a total monster- everyone knows Sports was Huey Lewis and the News' masterpiece, it's way better than Fore!.
@@itswessumshey U need to react to Booksmart With Billie Lourd from American horror story It is amazing and so funny. You would have a great time ❤ love you guys
32:14 ROUGH AF 😰😂🤣
Patrick is a sweaty mess in this scene & it only adds to the hilarity!
You guys never have boring commentary 😄 This is one of my fav movies and loved your reactions!
This is the only American Psycho reaction on here that actually has fun with it. Thanks boys
Awww love to hear that LmAo 🤣
Believe it or not the violence and gore in this movie is tame compared to the book. The book also gives full page dissertations of a Whitney Houston song and intricate descriptions from Bateman of what people are wearing. Just to restate, the book is very graphic.
Talking about gaydar, when I was a senior in high school, a girl that I didn’t know come up to me and said I am Pam, your Chris and I said yes. I don’t know how to put this in the right way that you won’t freak out but I know you’re gay. I said WHAT ! Don’t worry I’am not going to tell anyone, what you have a crush on Scott. My jaw hit the floor. She was absolutely right ! How do you know that ! She said I have eyes I’ve been watching you for weeks now ! Gaydar is intensely paying attention to a individual in the end
Just started and I love how you're like how you're like “how does he look so good” while they are going over his self-care routine (okay I know you meant Bale in real life and not Patrick Bateman but I just found it amusing that moment was when you asked the question)
However, oddly I've always felt Bale actually looks much older than 26/27 in the role and it's not only cos the Wall Street stylings of his hair and wardrobe. He looks fantastic but some guys just always have a certain maturity to their look somehow and never looked traditionally young somehow.
Let's not forget that 27 year olds in the 80's looked much older than 27 year olds now. And Christian Bale worked SO damn hard to get his body in amazing shape for this movie. Mary Harron said she knew the film was really wrapped when she saw him eating an Egg McMuffin.
The story of how Christian Bale got cast and the journey of even getting the movie made is beyond wild. Oh and I remember buying the book when I heard it was gonna be a movie and reading it in like 2 days. It is farrrr more graphic than the film but also side splittingly hilarious.
Chloe Sevigny is an underrated goddess. I love her so much. Fantastic, dedicated actress.
There's an interview with her in this week's Rolling Stone that was really fascinating where she talks about aging, how NYC has changed, making movies and being "fash-e-yun" at a really young age. She is so insightful and funny.
She is my girl crush.
@@calandraantonelli8939 I can easily see why. I've loved her in everything I've seen her in.
You two are adorable and hilarious.
Seeing the goblin peaking out when he's talking to Bateman about Marcus was his eyes got big and talking with that smile I'm like uh oh there he is lol
Wes's smile makes me warm inside
Icons for this reaction ❤️😊right here yall never miss I hope yall having an wonderful day unlike my ass at this hellhole LOVE YALL❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stay strong bby!!! ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for the support always! 💃🏻💃🏻
What was always interesting to me was when this was released in 2000, Christian Bale's father married the Feminist writer Gloria Steinem. And the book it's based on and the film it's self created controversy on how women were depicted in it. So I would have loved to be a fly on the wall if this film was brought up between Christian and Gloria.
One of my fave movies, thanks for the reaction!
Absolute classic . Thanks for the reaction, boys ❤
wonderful as always!
I'd love to see you two react to Gothika with the incomparable Halle Berry, stunning Penelope Cruz and Robert Downey Jrs first film after his big disgrace and prison stint.
It frightened the shit out of me when I first saw it. I rewatched it last night and it's still bloody terrifying! 😩
Love the fashion in this movie the suits and dress shoes ❤
The book is in some ways better than the movie. It's cool to read after watching because there's so much more to unpack (and it's funny while being self aware of it's ridiculous gruesomeness) so 10/10 would recommend
Fun fact: The book American Psycho was written by a gay man who was mocking the hyper masculine, straight world of Wall Street people in the late 80s. The movie was directed by a woman and proud feminist. The irony is that Patrick Bateman is a quasi-anti-hero that is loved by millions of straight men who don't realize the book/movie was mocking their ways.
Love those glasses, Chey!
Such a scathing satire of Wall Street, I love it.
You asked about the musical: imo, it was ahead of its time and very much underrated. There are at least a couple of "slime tutorials" out there if you're curious. Definitely not a perfect show, but deserved a much longer run than it got. This story, and the character of Patrick in particular, works really well in theatrical form.
Thank you!! We love a slime tutorial in this household!
I saw American Psycho on Broadway. It was a wild ride, I was into it. the music is all a house/trance/techno feel with a couple of interesting 80’s covers including a haunting arrangement “In the Air tonight” by Phil Collins. Jen Damiano was Jean, she was good BUT Ms Helene Yorke as Evelyn was EVERYTHING
Love Helene!! The Other Two is one of our all time fav shows ❤️❤️ so cool you got to see it!
This was a great, fun time
Thanks!
This movie, much like Donnie darko confuses the HELL out of me. lol.
these Pumpkins are thirsty!!
Ive never been this early! ❤❤❤❤
I mean, Bale looks great, but NOBODY can compete with Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripley, that's just another planet.
YAAAAAAAAAAS
omg this movie🤣 hope you know what your in for😬🤣
your reaction upon seeing j*red l*to is one of many reasons why I watch y'all 😂
You should check out 'Equilibrium'.
LOVE that movie
Yayyyyy♥️♥️♥️♥️
Christian gives such a powerful, unhinged performance. xx
You should ABSOLUTELY check the musical out, is so good!
I went to a reading by and afterwards met Bret Easton Ellis, the author of the book. He seemed like a really nice guy. I wish I had had more time to talk to him and discuss how he wrote the book, considering that he just didn't seem like the kind of person that could have thought all this stuff up and put it down on paper.
I wouldn't recommend reading the book. It's pretty horrible.
*NOT THE CAT!*
The book is worse in the best ways. I read it in high school and it's stuck with me 😅
I wonder if the sequel will be reacted starring Meg “Mila Kunis” Griffin
i NEED yall to react to two south korean films, one is an lgbtq psychological thriller and the other is a detective horror (like legitimately fucking scary). The Handmaiden and The Wailing. You'll absolutely love both.
Y'all... have you seen or heard of the musical version of American Psycho!?? The music is so good, and it's just as crazy. There's a bootleg on CZcams! lol
Great reaction......I read the book several times, it is somewhat different. He name labels innsenently, You really get in his head.....Also I feel the book implies he committed the murders....the movie leaves it up to interpretation.....if it was real or imagined.
26:41 you need to watch Velvet goldmine (not necessarily on the channel, just a rec, unless you've seen it 😄)
Hip to be square was 1986
This movie is sick but I thurst over Christian Bale
We all do 😂😭
The book was BRUTAL (30% is Patrick ego rambling )8/10 for me 😅
You start to feel his mental state after a while. Characters are mentioned like twice in the whole book but treated as if they've been there all along and eventually you just get used to shit like some talk show interviewing a cheerio.
Tom Cruise was his performance inspiration.
Yall haven’t seen Justin Theroux in the leftovers because……😫😫😫
The book is a whole lot more graphic this has to be my favorite movie it's not only a black comedy but just a look at the narcissistic lifestyle of the yuppie culture. In the book your not really sure if he did kill anyone
I would honestly love it if Chey also talks a little bit about what lip balm/gloss he's applying before the movie starts, to this lip balm enthusiast who also applies her lip balm in the beginning of the video, it makes it seem even more like I'm sitting down to watch with friends. Also, forget about Christian Bale (hard, I know)- Justin Theroux is a smokeshow in every scene he's in, even though he plays a huge douche. Thank you so, so much for not showing much of the scene with Al and his dog, I can't stand seeing dogs and their humans being hurt/in distress.
Ur so right about Christian and Jude being hottest men on film
You guys talked all through one of the greatest character intros in modern cinema :(
We’ve seen this movie several times lol 😩
@@PettyPumpkins Petty Pumkins Did U Know People Send Themselves To Hell Not God......And According To Hell Testimonies On CZcams HomoSexuality Leads To Hell Fire Do Your Research On CZcams God Bless You Both ❤.
Please react to "Piercing" from 2018! 👍💯🔥 I think you're gonna like this movie (not only because it's good but also because of the hot/sexy male lead). 😉
The book makes this look PG
Forecast: bloody showers.
😳
I literally hate this movie, it gives me the feeling of throwing up without doing it, same with american beauty, but love ya both
Patriotic? Christian Bale is Welsh. He does a good American accent, though. His regular accent sounds almost cocky, actually. He probably hasn't lived in the UK since he was a kid, so he's basically American with a bad accent. But yeah, if you're so inclined, I guess it is a "thirst trap." There are plenty of scenes like that and I'm pretty sure he was in his early 20s at the time. Jared Leto is also in this, so in a roundabout way, it's kind of like a precursor to a Batman movie, since Leto played the Joker at one point. I don't think it was opposite Bale, though. My favourite Batman is still Michael Keaton. He played it 90% like you'd never know it was him, but at the same time, he still cracks at times and shows his PTSD. But I like that this movie never lets you know if he actually murdered anyone. I think it works better if it's all in his head, because it's supposed to be a satire of Wall Street greed and materialism, so if it's all in his head, any one of the guys he hangs out with could be just as insane as him and the commentary is on Wall Street in the 80s being run by a bunch of psychopaths who fantasize about this stuff. Oh yeah, and I find it interesting that being gay actually saves Louis Carruthers' life. So Patrick may be a serial killer, but he's not homophobic. That to me is kind of funny on some level. I mean, I'm glad he didn't kill him, but it's still funny that he draws the line there.
I think that he said patriotic because of the title American Psycho. I've read that Christian Bale was born in Wales, but always considered himself English. Both his parents are English, but he just happened to be born in Wales. That's why his natural accent is English.
Gays reacting to what would happen to them if they were in that movie.
I honestly don't understand why so many ppl find Bale attractive. Lol they thirst over him but he's just not my type.
Thanks for the reaction! You should check out Enys Men someday, it's experimental horror like Skinamarink, but completely successful and unfortunately not discussed enough.
I'm so happy to watch yall see this film I love u guys. slumberpartycore
