@billiam Now we got Clownado!🤡🌪️🤡🌪️🤡
😆😆😆
@billiam thanks for reminding me about Sharknado. It’s amazing how many sequels they made of that movie! @Katota This one’s for you! lol 😂
Wow... clownado looks terrible!
@billiam Lol. It is, it's awful. 😄
@lonelytauros 😆😆😆 And they copied the "Free Willy jump" scene, ain't nothing sacred anymore! 😄
@billiam I totally understand why he gets upset over the littlest things like business cards (the bathroom scene was hilarious to me). We can definitely tell he’s a man of taste and if someone has better taste than him then it’s a shot to his ego.
I can tell he does have trouble connecting with others especially when he’s talking to Evelyn and says, “because I want to fit in,” every time he tries to say something that sparks his interest he’s usually shot down by confused and uninterested faces.
Do I think he killed all those people? I think he killed some people like the homeless man. And I think it’s because of the reason he said, he couldn’t connect with him.
I also love how in the movie he spoke his mind so nonchalantly (like when he was paying 25 bucks for a drink in the second scene) in conversation and the other person didn’t hear them say anything and it clicked that he really said it in his head but it’s what he wants to say.
I think the detective was great. I was constantly trying to figure out if he was on Patrick’s side or not on his side.
The scene with the cat, I had to turn away from but when he went on that rampage and came back into his building twice that’s when this started getting fuzzy.
The scene where he called the lawyer was awesome. That’s great acting right there.
After I finish the book I’m currently reading I’m definitely going to read American Psycho.
27 days away from Halloween 🎃 Trigger warning for this book
They called it: ‘The Craze.’
No one saw it coming. It started with isolated reports of people kidnapping babies and blending them to drink their ‘essence’—a highly potent and highly addictive chemical compound found in infants. The phenomenon spread through social media, infecting other addicts. Cases of kidnapping and murder—femicide and infanticide—skyrocketed, leading to governments around the world to issue state of emergencies and strict shelter-at-home orders.
But it was too late.
Society had collapsed into itself.
Now, Brian Turner finds himself trapped in a police station with his family—his wife Leslie, his five-year-old son Cameron, and his newborn daughter Harper—and a group of shellshocked survivors. With their supplies running low and a horde of baby-fiends waiting to strike outside, he must find a way to protect his family and search for a new home away from the carnage and madness.
Jon Athan, the author of The Groomer and Lovesick, presents a disturbing post-apocalyptic vision unlike anything he’s written before. Can you survive the Craze?
WARNING: This book contains graphic content. Reader discretion is advised.
@billiam The author of American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis, has said repeatedly Bateman did murder people, and while the book is superficially about a serial killer, the novel was intended as an extended metaphor for the 1980s financial world where greed and status were everything, and character mattered not—superficial and lacking in empathy. Ellis has gone so far as saying he himself was caught up in the superficiality at the time—wearing the right clothes, owning the right car, and living in the right zip code. As such, Patrick Bateman is an interesting take on the likes of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street or in real life, Victor Posner or Carl Icahn. Gordon Gekko was a literal interpretation of a corporate raider while Bateman is a metaphor for the whole system. The novel is a modern American masterpiece although it was initially attacked for the extreme violence and misogyny which was kind of the point to begin with but it was a different time and American Psycho was a very different book. The movie does an exceptional job of capturing the tone of the book’s unreliable narrator—Bateman—and how coldly dispassionate and distant he is from his actions. People (particularly women) are objects and the men are obstacles, and status is the only thing approaching a passion.
The book is brilliant and is good for multiple reads.
I read the book after having watched the movie 5 times or so. I have to say I much prefer the film, but can see why others like the book.
It's interesting that Ellis is adamant that he did kill some people. To me, it doesn't really matter that much whether he did or didn't. It's a little more interesting if he didn't, but I actually like not knowing for sure. The first few viewings, I was more interested in figuring out what actually happened or didn't happen. But now, I'm much more interested in all the things I mentioned in my earlier post. Boiled down to one line: who or what is the American Psycho here?
And while Ellis says his intention, there is no absolute proof in the film as to whether he did or did not kill. Being that the film is my preferred incarnation, I will continue with my ambiguous interpretation of the film. After reading the book, I felt strongly that he imagined them. But I did not study the book, so I could be wrong about it.
That's one of the cool things about good art: it can stand up to many interpretations.
@MajesticMango That book sounds a little bit like Doctor Sleep. Also, like these conspiracy theories going around about famous celebs and politicians eating babies!
Did you ever see It's Alive? It's a fun little 70s horror flick. The baby is the monster in this one.
@billiam haha sounds like a play on Frankenstein. If it’s on YouTube I’ll watch it at the gym today
I don't think it is. There's one up that says it's 1974s it's Alive, but it's actually a movie from the 60s
@billiam well that’s upsetting 😅
I would loved to see Jim Carrey as Patrick in American Psycho. Maybe in another lifetime
Maybe someone could deep fake that 🤔 Sounds Interesting
Might’ve added to the comedy factor. I think by looks alone, Jim Carrey would’ve been a good fit.
Wow, this thread is awesome. Definitely coming back to read through all of it.
26 days until Halloween 🎃 “Ever wonder where teenage children go at night? Perhaps it’s best not knowing the answer. There’s something amiss in Kinsfield, a drab, boring city much like your own, except for the teenage suicide epidemic, stagnant, ineffectual parents, cultish behavior that borders on psychosis, and strings, strings everywhere. B.R. Yeager’s Negative Space is a hypnotic collage of message boards, memes, and ruined bodies twisting at the end of a rope. Most modern novels have lost all concept of magic. B.R. Yeager’s Negative Space is a stunning refutation of the quotidian.” —James Nulick, author of Haunted Girlfriend & Valencia
Went to Days Of The Dead convention in Atlanta yesterday, met, chatted and took pics with Kane Hodder and Larry B. Scott. Both friendly and awesome individuals, pics to share!😁
I’m so glad you shared these! Especially you in front of the… banner… back drop… big poster thingy😂 Im a little upset to see chucking on the tricycle instead of jigsaw but it’s cute! Kinda like when shows do a crossover. Horror crossover
Salems Lot based off a novel by Stephen King
@MajesticMango You're very welcome, I was SO HOPING to catch Derek Mears (I really wanted to meet him too😜). I was walking around trying to find his table/area/whatever and I couldn't see him so I went back up front to ask a staff member:
Me: "Excuse me, where can I find Derek Mears?
Staff Member: "Yeah Derek Mears cancelled. He is sick and he couldn't make it."
ME:
LOL! 🤣
Yeah, I was understandably devastated. Hope he gets to feeling better, I'm gonna catch up to him one day. This is the 2nd time that I missed him at Days Of The Dead Atlanta!😁😌😊
@MajesticMango All and all, we had a good time met and took pics with those who were there. Saw Chucky on tricycle, yeah I know Jigsaw would have been cooler. Lol😁
We (my sister was with me) had a good time just the same.😁🎃❤️
@lonelytauros Nice! 😆
Love spooky season 👻🫶🏾
25 days away! 🎃 To serial slayer Andrew Compton, murder is an art, the most intimate art. After feigning his own death to escape from prison, Compton makes his way to the United States with the ambition of bringing his art to new heights. Tortured by his own perverse desires and drawn to possess and destroy young boys, Compton inadvertently joins forces with Jay Byrne, a dissolute playboy who has pushed his own art to limits even Compton hadn’t previously imagined. Together, Compton and Byrne set their sights on an exquisite young Vietnamese American runaway, Tran, whom they deem to be the perfect victim.
Swiftly moving from the grimy streets of London’s Piccadilly Circus to the decadence of New Orleans’s French Quarter, Poppy Z. Brite dissects the landscape of torture and invites us into the mind of a killer. With “intelligence, sweep, nerve, knowledge, and deeply unsettling erotic power” (Dennis Cooper, author of Frisk), Exquisite Corpse is a novel for those who dare trespass where the sacred and profane become one.
Would you rather is pretty good
24 days away folks It's just before New Year, and Frank, an American tourist, has hired Kenji to take him on a guided tour of Tokyo's nightlife. But, Frank's behaviour is so odd that Kenji begins to entertain a horrible suspicion: his client may in fact have murderous desires. Although Kenji is far from innocent himself, he unwillingly descends with Frank into an inferno of evil, from which only his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Jun, can possibly save him.
