Bret Easton Ellis is so Bret Easton Ellis
Is that donald trumps car?
Brett's insightful opinion on the election and the Trump presidency is so perfectly worded. That's what we need more of in the media
The guy on the right looks like Godard. Perhaps he IS Godard.
Always been a fan of Bret Easton Ellis. Hearing his opinion on Trump, I like him more. A very reasonable position, unlike many of his contemporaries who are quick to label Trump a "Nazi."
Very reasonable indeed. I agree with most of President Trump's goals, even if a lot of his statements can come off as just silly.
man this didn’t age well
I'd like to see if he'd still answer the same way in 2022
Glad to find he's not another deranged Hollywood elite.
please please I hope the film has a sequel with Christian Bale as Patrick running for president
I wonder if Bret would care to revisit these opinions now. lol
Read his new book: White
He did, and he feels the same way.
And prove his accuracy.
Patrick Bateman would have married Ivanka
Her husband reminds me od patrik Bateman
My interpretation of the character though he would admire Trumps wealth and social status but Trump was from Queens and did not go to Harvard so I think Patrick would look down on him a little. Trump is not a stereotypical yuppie really. The yuppies just like celebrities and name dropping though so that is all a relationship with the family would mean to them. Just another brand name.
Patrick loves Trump, at least in the book.
loved the lead singer in the play
overall failure tho
sad
My God! A mainstream media channel that isn't slagging Trump off!
Are we still overreacting, Bret?
Yes.
Nice. Is there an award for Best 5 o'clock Shadow? Stupendous! I love American Psycho film. Hilarious.
Trump! The great American president.
100% on the same page
His views on Trump didn't age well. Ooops.
Americans have the president that they deserve.
cheers commie
She lacks depth perception
masonic
Let me out lol
Gotta love Trump
Bateman would've hated Trump. I'm sure he would appreciate all the money he would make from him, but Trump's relations to the poor would have disgusted Bateman, who viewed the working class as pathetic and less than human.
Austin Faulds well in the book he mentions him constantly
Yes, but Trump in the 80s wasn't the same man as he is now, as Ellis points out in the interview. Bateman was admiring Trump the businessman, not Trump the politician.
Patrick Bateman could have voted for Hillary since Hillary is essentially no better than P.B.
But she has terrible taste!
