This dude is funnier than 90% of the stuff I watch for laughs, and he's just being himself.
I laughed so many times during this video my eyes swole up.
Much appreciate that, and apologies about the eyes. LoL
Yes, I laughed out loud constantly during this reaction. Time well spent! 😅
She gone folk
I still can't believe Christian Bale was 25 when he made this. To have THAT level of talent so young is just baffling to me. I mean he was great in other films before this one (Empire of the Sun and Newsies in particular), but this film was the true example of his greatness.
Damn I didn’t know he was that young
@@J_EOMReacts Christian Bale was in a movie called Empire of the Sun when he was about 10 or 12
My vote goes to The Machinist. Bale really suffered for his art on that role.
@@MsTeaRex Don't forget Newsies. He hates to remember that one.
Ya I was just going to say Bale has been acting since he was a child!
Everyone gets so upset about the dog. They get a little mad about the guy, but the dog sets everyone off. 🤣
I don’t ever like seeing anything happen to dogs
And the poor kitty at the ATM 🐱
Animals are my forever weakness.
I can handle people getting murdered and tortured (in movies/acting of course only) 😅
It’s the pure innocence of animals of any kind that DESTROY me 💔
The same applies to children of course!
Al had a bad attitude, that's what stopped him.
Fun fact: When author Bret Easton Ellis was doing research for his American Psycho book, which the movie is based on, he befriended a small group of young investment bankers from Wall Street, pretty much a group of your typical yuppies from the '80s. They took him out to fancy restaurants, clubs, and diners, talked about who had the best haircut, the snazziest suit, the hottest girlfriend, and the most expensive house in the Hamptons. Not once did he ever see them work or spend time in their respective offices. And so this inspired him to rewrite the novel to be a black comedy/social commentary/satire and rewrote the main character, Patrick Bateman, into a serial killer.
“Sabrina, lose your dress”…and that entire scene. Your face….HILARIOUS! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t know what to think
"Was he trying to wash the gay off the gloves?" 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
He went and got his "OJs" over a business card. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
"But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."
Christian Bale is a national treasure. After this movie, he became a leading man.
Fun Fact: In 2013, Funny Or Die recreated the "Hip To Be Square" scene with Huey Lewis and 'Weird Al' Yankovic. Huey Lewis himself played the Patrick Bateman role and 'Weird Al' Yankovic was the Paul Allen role. In the scene, Lewis discusses the film, its controversial reception, Christian Bale's acting, and its effect on Bale's performance as Batman. Rather than listening to a song, Lewis pops in the American Psycho (2000) DVD, and at one point he points to the television while discussing Bale as Bale is shown pointing at the stereo discussing Lewis. It ends with Lewis killing Yankovic while the song "I Want A New Duck" (a parody of the Huey Lewis And The News song "I Want A New Drug") plays.
Location Location Fact: The scene in which Patrick Bateman yells at the Asian woman at the laundromat was filmed at a small cleaners on Jarvis street in Toronto, Ontario. Much of the building scenes (his escape near the finale for example) were filmed in the financial district downtown.
Distinguish Competition Fact: This film stars both Christian Bale and Jared Leto who each end up portraying DC characters. Bale would later go on to star as Bruce Wayne/Batman in The Dark Knight Trilogy and Leto would later appear as The Joker in Suicide Squad (2016). Interestingly, Batman has a no killing policy while the Joker kills with no remorse, yet fans humorously point out how in this film, Batman kills the Joker.
These facts are brought to you by 🐊
One of the best adaptations of all time. In the novel, it's heavily alluded that ALL of the crimes are in his head. In the movie, they took a far more interesting route and made the murders real, and yet people were either too self-absorbed to notice ("Where did you get the overnight bag?") or actively covering it up in order to keep business going (the realtor at the end). That's a far more cutting critique of the vapidness of 80s corporate capitalism imo. One of the smartest satires of the new century.
I think that was actually a major theme of the book, which is ultimately about materialism and self absorption. In the book, the Wall Street characters get each other's names and identities confused far more often than in the movie, even, and no one cares about anything outside their own desires. It was basically Ellis saying that our society had become so sick, that as long as you were privileged, you were essentially untouchable. The book is very much about the decomposition of the American dream.
@@jamesoblivion Oh absolutely. Same theme, different story mechanics to convey them. My point is Harron and Turner's decision to make the murders more ambiguous (and most likely real) is imo an even better story tactic to play on those themes. I love the book too.
It's a critique of the excesses of the 80's and the dandification of men.
Was the cop real? I feel like Willem’s character was Patrick’s conscience.
@@Flagsitta The cop was real but the director had Dafoe play the role differently for each take. Sometimes he's supposed to suspect Patrick, sometimes be totally oblivious. Thus, in the finished film, we're never quite sure what he's thinking. Absolutely brilliant direction. Mary Harron crushed this film.
*Can't believe that he went on to play Batman. I always think of him saying "I'm Batman! I'm Patrick Batman!" LOL*
🤣🤣🤣
Willem Dafoe acted every scene where he was questioning Bale’s character first as though he suspected him and second as he didn’t at all. They used takes from both styles, so it makes those scenes crazy to watch.
Actually they had 3 takes. One where he suspects Bateman, one when he isnt sure, and one where he doesnt. And they mixed them up. But you have the right idea.
The Paul Allen Card censoring the curses is epic 😂
Dude, I read the book last year (I'd seen the movie many times prior to reading it) and, good lord, I have never read something so disturbing in my life. I mean, my degree is in English literature (I almost went into psychology ,lol) and I'm an avid reader of all sorts of things anyway, but nothing hit like that book. You get several chapters that are very dry, describing gourmet foods, fashion, and music with a sort of cold, technical precision. Then everything shifts and the murders are described in the same way. The world seemed darker and dirtier to me in the days that followed, it was that hard to shake off how that book hit me and I will never read it again. And that's coming from someone who's interested in actual true crime stories (which of course this isn't). It does, however, show how good the author is, so I might try to read something else of his. That said, the movie is brilliantly done. Bale's acting was mind blowing. Things are left pretty open as to how much was in his mind and how much he actually did. Interestingly, DeFoe's character scenes were shot in 3 different ways. One as if he knew Bateman was guilty, one where he suspected it, and one where he had no idea. Then they spliced together these different scenes to add ambiguity to whether or not he actually suspects him. A brilliant choice of editing by the director.
A funny tidbit from the book, Tom Cruise lives in Patrick's building. They run into each other in the elevator and have an awkward conversation, making it clear that Patrick is not at all impressed with him. It's later said that Bale based the mannerisms of Bateman on Cruise. Smiling and charismatic, but just dead and cold in the eyes.
And people keep calling one another by the wrong names because they are so self centered and notice little about other people, but to be fair, they all work so hard to conform to similar images that it can be difficult to tell them apart. In all likelihood, he did do most of those horrible things, but being rich and powerful, a lot of things were just swept under the rug.
Another great reaction!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed. It’s so funny to me that he made his character like Tom cruise
Have you tried Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis? Very good read and nothing like the movie.
I used to work in some corporate offices, in banking. We had a Jason Davis in sales, Jason Davies in Retentions and Jayce David in legal. All had blonde catalogue model hair and the same taste in suits (shiny and dark) and ties (shiny pastels). Management loved Jason, Jayce to his friends. He was at all the board meetings, was constantly in the know about everything and always hard at work.
You guessed it. Everyone thought there was one guy. I was one of the only people who had to deal with all three on a daily basis. I delivered post and took their outgoings and prepped their flow documents and client side forms. My boss had a standing argument with me about there being three of them. They had a hell of a time with people insisting they'd been told details they hadn't.
I left before the resolution but as I understand it, they eventually had to have a general meeting where they stood up infront of everyone to confirm there was more than one guy and to explain their different roles. Two weeks after, Davies was sacked and Davis was given a static promotion gaining Davies work load. It was apparently too much for the management to take.
There is a uniformity in corporate culture that forces you to become a drone or forces you out.
I've worked offices and I worked security. I'd rather be guarding someone, ready to tackle some crazy with a knife or a gun rather than work in corporate offices again. Atleast in security the job is about practicalities. Keep the charge safe. Move from A to B to C. Risks are real, threats are real but so is everything you need to interact with from gear to vehicles to sites, back up, escape routes. Working in an office? Popularity, buzzwords, backstabbing, personal politics... it's a nightmare hellscape. I have been stabbed. Hit with bottles, sticks, punched hundreds of times and even shot at. I have flashbacks to none of that. I do have nightmares about corporate office work and managerial bullying. The guy who stabbed me in the elbow, I was able to hit and kick back. There is no recourse against a manager who threatens your wages because you look too 'unhappy'. When they cancel your bonus for 'not going the extra mile' you can't kick them in the face and take your money back. When you take a beer bottle to the head and get a client out of danger they thank you. May even buy you a pizza or give you a tip. In an office, dealing with an extraordinarily rare event with style and aplomb just gets you written up next month for not repeating the feat.
Fuck that life.
An 'R' rated movie and an 'R' rated book are NOT equivalent. The books are always 100x more disturbing. Just read Misery.
@@AnonEyeMouse Dude, that is so true. Well, all of it,lol. Like, I was a secretary for the Humanities department at a university. There was one professor that looked a bit similar to me, but she was at least 4 inches shorter, heavier, and wore skirts every day (I did not) and students would still call me Mrs. Whoever. It amused the shit out of me and I'd say "Hi" It really makes an argument for why people never recognized Clark Kent as Superman.. Before getting jobs as a secretary, I worked in the dish pit in restaurants, and that shit is wild. I hope to never go back. But administration jobs can be very similar to corporate jobs in the way you described. These days, I take online secretary or data entry jobs if I can find them. Working from home is awesome when I can find a good option. None of that office politics bs.
One more piece of trivia:
Christian Bale is from the UK. Before this movie, he wasn't very well known. He's also a method actor and was in the character of Patrick Bateman the entire time they were making the movie. People who had spent months with him making the movie were wondering why he was speaking with a British accent at the movie's premier party. They didn't know he was British 😂
🤣🤣🤣 it blows my mind when actors I’ve seen in movies for years do a interview and they have a accent I never heard before. Idris Elba blow my mind more than anybody
@@J_EOMReacts YES -- I still think he's Stringer Bell pretending to be British because he's got warrants out.
@@dard4642 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The business card scene is literally one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema
It’s great
Mine as well! I had it on VHS when it first came out. Meme worthy far before that was a thing 😅
In fact this entire movie is full of memes that we often see everywhere nowadays.
I knew the homeless man and his dog were about to trigger a reaction.
Lol i was mad
The look when he killed the dog...... I felt your pain.
I was big mad
If you punch me, I MAY have deserved it. Don’t touch my dog violently
Facts
I think the realtor realized that he was the killer but she didn't want a problem selling the place so she covered it up for him
Lol I thought that for a second
None of it happened, only in his head
that's how I always took that scene as well
Shes a lousy realtor that walked in to a sweaty dude staring into a closet. of course she's going to ask him to leave
What happened here? Nothing Patrick, nothing.
@@russellm2555 even his lawyer tho too the way he was talking to him, it was very clearly a cover up
Missed hitting the like button early. I was busy returning some videotapes
Got to make sure you return those
“Not if you wanna keep your spleen” love that line 😂😂
It's been a long time since I did Coke. I've never heard of a bathroom not good enough to do it in. No such rooms exist, any room is good enough. LOL
Side note: JL you are so funny, man. You made me spit out SOME of my Vodka. That's never happened before.
🤣🤣🤣
Facts
This is gonna be Epic 😂
Hope you enjoyed
@@J_EOMReacts Your comments are hilarious 😂
Christian Bale redeemed himself by saving the puppy in 'Equilibrium' 🤣
That’s true he did save the puppy in Equilibrium. I’m glad he killed everybody else in that movie who killed those pups.
6:44 u got me😂
12:33💀😂😂😂😂
19:32 even I thought that💀💀😂😂😂
Im crying bruv
This is the first video im watching of urs, n m tearing up…
25:50 that whole explanation 💀😂😂😂
I wanna watch a movie with u someday
25:56😂😂😂😂
Lol I’m glad you enjoyed. If you watch some other ones let me know what you think
@@J_EOMReacts r u the one reacting? Cuz u msged from a different account
@@yousufownzu6902 lol yeah I’m the reactor. The main account is ran by Blank (editor). He does all the posting on the community tab as well.
"did she have time to wash it???" LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Also like Empire of the Sun
I’m have to check it out
American Psycho? Hold on to your herb-mint facial mask, everybody!
Lol he looks so crazy peeling that off
Ooo, ooo, and about this movie: I love how they fuck with the viewer because sometimes they can hear or see what he says and does, but other times they seem to have no clue. So we never really know when he's actually done something, or just thought about it. It's brilliant. They did a great job depicting the lifestyle of a genuine psychopath. The differences between them and sociopaths: the ability to blend in, the lust for corporate power and control, their abilities to set goals and finish them, their obsession with "looking the part", and their terrifying ability to go their whole lives without being found out until they snap and that psychopathic rage takes over. Brilliant.
"The violence in American Psycho is metaphorical violence it really is not at all about real life violence. The book kinda preaches my aesthetic in a way, that in this society when you look at it on a surface level everything is flattened out to such a degree that the murder of a young woman with being enraged at where you're sitting at a certain table or a huey lewis and the news cd is really flattened out to the same effect. That's really what American Psycho is about." - Bret Easton Ellis
"I have no idea what happened..."
Same. Not even sure if Bateman (or whoever he is) does.
🤣🤣🤣 I’m glad I’m not alone
When he killed Paul allen moon walking and shit. The way he talked and moved made me think he was Jim Carey for a min in a comedy skit.
He did have some fire Marshall Bill on him
I read the book once 32 years ago... and there are still scenes that make me shudder when I think of them. As horrific as the dog death is in the movie, the animal abuse in the book is even worse. :( Animal abuse notwithstanding, it's such an incredible movie and a phenomenal performance by one of the best actors in movies!
I been hearing how good the book is. I’m have to get it. Im have to skip the animal abuse if I’m make it thru it lol
@@J_EOMReacts I hope that some of the scenes don't have the same effect on you as they did on me. There are some images that are burned into my mind all these years later because the animal violence and depravity was so vividly depicted. Some parts from James Patterson's book "Kiss the Girls" are equally as disturbing for the same reason. That movie is far less twisted than the book. I'm a fan of horror, but these two books left some psychological scars. (*shudder*)
The Royal Tenenbaums and The Hotel Budapest are a must!
Wow. I just looked this up to watch a reaction and I can’t believe how recent this was
Hope you enjoyed
“I have to return some videotapes.”
Did you rewind them first 🪓
I have been watching you for 4 days straight!! OMG I love your reactions to the scary movies! You are the best!
Much appreciated and glad you're on board!
New Balances and a Chainsaw will be the name of my memoir.
That’s a great name
I've seen this movie maybe 5 times and each time I pick up on something new every time. And the pieces start to fall into place, loosely, but there's still doubt that he actually killed all those people, and it all was in his head. But one thing was for certain, Patrick Bateman was King Douchebag and he played it so well. There's still pieces I'm missing, but this movie is one of those movies you HAVE TO watch over and over to get the big picture.
Another great reaction.
Kudos.
I have seen it 3 times total now and I just watch still mind blown lol
Bale was in a Spielberg film before this called Empire of the Sun (really good) but not mentioned that much
I’m check it out
@@J_EOMReacts please do so. One of my favorite films you knew Bale was going to be a star he was that good in this.
@@J_EOMReacts its a great and beautiful film. I recommend as well...a different take on WWII than normally seen
14:19 "I've never seen him not crazy"
Fact check status: TRUE - lmao
🤣🤣🤣
...do you like Huey Lewis And The News?
Btw, you should check out a spoof of that scene done by Weird Al and Huey Lewis, pretty sure it must be on youtube somewhere
I came across your channel three days ago and been Watchin for all three lol. Keep it up! Great reactions.
Welcome to the family and glad you’re enjoying!
The novel this is based on is an indictment of the Us in the 80's where the success is measured by money and everyone in Wall St is a version of everyone else. The constant confusion between names and characters is a ehicle to pinpoint that, each one is a clone of a clone of a clone, same haircut, same clothes, same values or lack of them. The murders happen but the system was so skewed that it was impossible for any rich, handsome, white man to fail or be caught.
At 13:00 the blood trail is missing in the next shot when it looks over their shoulder from outside.
I didn’t notice that until my 2nd watch
Just before the music starts at the end monologue, while Patrick is taking a sip of his drink, the door behind him has a plaque with "This is not an exit" written on it. Perhaps implying that, well, there is no exit for him?
That’s very interesting and a good eye
Pretty sure “this is not an exit” are the last words of the novel
i had such a bad day but your reaction to this movie turned it all around....thank you and keep up the great work.
I’m glad I could make your day better
Right before i started this reaction i was like maannn he gonna flip when the dog scene comes up. lol 🤣
21:54, 25:44 "Shut the f@#& up!"
Dude, any and every time you say that, I laugh myself silly! To me, that's one of your catchphrases to your reactions, and I love it!
BTW are you aware that one of your "F" Bombs slipped through the cracks at 21:57?
Lol that’s definitely becoming one of my catchphrases. And Blank (editor) always say he’s aloud at least one to slip thru to keep the PG-13 rating lol
Oh, this reaction I have to watch. Who the heck talked you into this one. 😂😂😂
Blank lol
This movie is something else, I never read the book I heard it's even more disturbing. Bale did such an excellent job I never been so frightened
I’m have to check the book out bc I heard he was running from a park bench in it
I'm with you. "I have to return some videotapes." Brilliant.
🤣🤣🤣
I have to return some videotapes …
Lol me too
This was my answering machine in high school 😅
I love this movie, man. It’s so wild.
HEY PAUL!!!
“His OJs”…
Hahaha, that was brilliant
there are a lot of theories about the level of "reality" in this movie, but for me a good way to look at it is that it's about a man who's having a psychotic break, to the point where his internal fantasy life and actual real life have become so blurred in his head that he can't tell the difference as he's going through his days. that's a tricky thing to pull off on film without literally pointing out "this is fake" and "this is real," which accounts for some of the confusion, but i think mary harron was trying to put the audience in that headspace too. the real tell that it's all imagined by patrick is the shootout with the police, with the cop car exploding and whatnot. aside from the surreality of it all - even that late, manhattan streets are never that empty - there's no way that wouldn't have been all anyone in new york was talking about the next day.
Sideways hasn’t been reacted to that I’ve found. Many guys in their 40s/50s would enjoy that.
21:56 "𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒅𝒐 𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒂 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆?"
Because if he left it in the cupboard it would spoil.
That’s a good answer lol
A lot of us (like my friends and i) can't help but think of this as a comedy. It actually gets funnier the more you see it.
I 100% agree with that
I wanted to watch this review so badly that I watched this movie for the first time last night. It was eh for me but your reaction was great! Another awesome video! Please think about doing the movie Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams
That’s on my list for sure. I’m glad you enjoyed this video
I 100% agree about the dog. Pisses me off to no end. Love u.❤
"If he was EVER to do somethin' to one of my dogs, I'd kill his whole family, newborns and all." I judged you for that
But I judged it to be the correct stance. Anyone who stomps a dog to death just for kicks has a rot inside em so bad that it's gotta extend beyond just them
Thanks for the shout out....💕💕😘 Robin
You’re more than welcome 🤗
26:23 BULLSEYE! LMAO
I really, really, don't think an investigator would be having dinner with a suspect. Not to mention their conversations are not in keeping with an investigation.
There is also a book (and movie) called "The Rules of Attraction" by the same author (Bret Easton Ellis). The protagonist of that story is a character named Sean Bateman, who is Patrick Bateman's little brother. You would never know it because they don't interact except briefly in the "American Psycho" book (which was written and released before The Rules of Attraction). It's a good movie, too, and would probably be a good reaction.
I’m have to check it out
They interact in Rules of Attraction as well. Patrick isn’t a serial killer in that book, though, since it was written prior to American Psycho. He also has a brief cameo or mention in Ellis’ following book, Glamorama, where it’s more or less confirmed that he really is a serial killer (albeit very implicitly).
"He tryna wash the gay off the gloves" 😂
Lol I swear he was
The Chainsaw Deadfall Drop 😂
Lol that’s what we calling it now
Just like I told you before when you reacted to Silence of the Lambs. Many of the serial killer movies are based off Edd Gein like this. He even mentions him and at one point is watching Texas Chainsaw Masacre in the background. Another movie based off Edd.
I’m have to look this dude up
Whenever I hear him say: "I have to return some video tapes," it reminded me of something my old man used to say. He used to say: "I'm about to see a man about a dog."
Never understood what it meant until I got older. Patrick be wildin LOL.
It's very obvious that the cards are completely interchangeable from just a cursory look at them, but there are even DEEPER jokes about them - all of them have misspelled 'acquisitions', the fax and phone numbers all go to the same machine, none of them have a company logo on them... There is a video by an actual business card maker that is surprisingly in depth about them.
I’m curious about that now
@@J_EOMReacts search for Linus Boman Design Crit with American Psycho - the vid in question'll come up.
This is one of the best satire films ever made.
Lol it got me at first
I can't handle animal abuse either lol I just keep reminding myself it's just a movie and it didn't actually happen. I had to do that to get through The Thing 😅
I got to watch the thing
@@J_EOMReacts I saw it, it was a great reaction 👍
I love your channel.. it’s soooo lit 🔥🔥🔥 keep it up and god bless
Thank you 🙌
Like the karate kid crane kick! 😂😂😂
There was some flak from the products mentioned in this movie because they ended up not wanting to be associated with this movie. They were saying the people who use these products aren't necessarily bad people.✌️✌️
You are right about the dog 🐕. It’s pretty funny he does crunches and has Texas chainsaw massacre on. Great channel always a great vibe. All the best Matt from Australia 🇦🇺👍
Enjoy your channel I’m 40 years old I have a 17 year old son and I’m married not to his mother, she’s a junkie with 7 kids. I really enjoy your reactions and my wife is aboriginal
"He really went and got his OJs over a business card!" I now have to refer to black leather gloves as OJs.
Bro you have the best reactions
Thank you 🙏🏾
5:06 I love that you use the paul allen business card as a censor
I'm nearly a year late, but if you want to see Willem Dafoe not crazy, watch Mississippi Burning. It's amazing.
“Was he tryna wash the gay off the gloves?” 😂😂😂😂 HILARIOUS homosexuality does not work that way lol
The murder whistle is gonna start returning video tapes lol
🤣🤣🤣 I really been telling people that
@@J_EOMReacts dude, if you lived near Atlanta we would be partying constantly. 🤣
I remember reading the book that this movie is based off of on an airplane. I made sure I hid the cover so people wouldn’t think I was crazy
2:35 well normally they serve 12 servings so for example you get a steak than a fish than a soup than a cake and so on
The fact that people like this exist is as scary as the movie. Great reaction. 👍. Would love to see you react to the 1979 movie Phantasm. 😁👍🤣🤣🤣
Lol you right bc you know it’s tons of people walking around just like him.
I’m have to check that out
"What's wrong with this dude?" Me: he's a Psycho. "Why'd he bite her???" Me: he's a Psycho. "Why'd he do that?" Me: HE'S. A. PSYCHO.
And no, the most unnecessary killing in Cinema is with the gun in Clue.
The psychotic nature of Bateman and his surreal interpretation of himself is expressed in the last line of his opening monologue...
"I am simply not there" is a paradoxical statement about his own psyche which directly relates to Descarte's philosophy of consciousness... "I think. Therefore, I am." But in Bateman's consciousness the only rhing that he knows is "I am simply not there."
So, if "I think. Therefore, I am. And I am, not there", then "what am I?" becomes the driving principle of the character. This is paid off at the end when both the protagonist AND the audience aren't sure whether or not any of that crazy shit even really happened in the first place or if it was just one giant fever dream 😆😛😛😛
Such a good movie 👍👍
10:21 - your editor knows you're a dog lover and he suggested this movie? LMAO
Lol that’s bc he’s a asshole who laughs at my pain
can you do The Score with Edward Norton and Robert De Niro? Its a heist movie but its very psychological, not in the horror genre, but i think it'll make you think and make you laugh and I'd love to see your reaction to it. I'm subscribed!!
This is one of my favorite movies. It made me a huge Christian Bale fan. It is just so out there in terms of black comedy and horror. It’s also a heavily stacked cast of actors. It’s just so good! So glad to see your copilot! I adore him!
Christian Bale was great in this and like you said the cast was stack too. Lol I’m glad he was active in this video bc I been recording later in the night lately and he’s been sleep thru the last couple I done
“He went and got his OJ’s over a business card”“Was he trying to wash the gay off the gloves”?
TOO many hysterical lines in this one, 😂 💳🩸
Great reaction to a classic mind f... of a movie. Your commentary was hilarious, had me laughing through most of it.
I think this was set in the late 80's.
Early in the film he was listening to Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer and he said he was listening to Robert Palmers new album. That came out in 1988 or 89. And, all the music in the movie was 80's stuff.
And cocaine was real big among the yuppies and everyone else who had the money for it in the 80's.
You should watch a lot of David Lynch and David Cronenburg films. They f with you and make you think like this one, while being equally dark and entertaining.
I’m have to check out some of their films bc I enjoy movies like this
I only have one movie for you that no one has reacted to on YT and it's one that I watch once a year. It's a fantasy western unlike anything else. "Purgatory" (1999) with Eric Roberts, Sam Shepard, Donnie Wahlberg and Randy Quaid. You won't ever forget it.

The first time i watched this movie i didn't know who Christian Bale was and had no idea that he was British. He did a great job with the accent.
Personally, Christian Bale is a fantastic actor and able to change his body to fit the role he is playing. If there is any doubt about his talents in this regard, please watch The Machinist...
That’s on the list too
@@J_EOMReacts - more films to bend your brain...
John Cusack in Max (my brain was twisted because of the empathy I ended up feeling at the end, which I never thought would be possible)
Team America World Police (depraved fun)
Robert de Niro in Ronin because the film is incredible...
Wanna know something hilarious? The book was satire of ‘alpha males’ and toxic masculinity by a gay man (Fight Club was written by him for the same purpose.) This film was written and directed by women.

Hell with all the killing, the looks of that dudes apartment alone makes him psycho.

@@J_EOMReacts big time bro 😎
The role of Patrick Bateman was originally filled by Billy Crudup. Christian Bale read for the part and, toward the end of his meeting with the director, Mary Heron, he asked her "am I the only one who thinks the story is a comedy?" She agreed and everyone up till then had taken the book far too seriously and far too literally (there was a ton of controversy around the release of the book. People thought it was advocating for the killing of women because they didn't get it.)
That single statement about the story being a comedy is what made her decide to go with Christian Bale over Billy Crudup.
Good pick
