Curio: American Psycho Squared
Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 9:00AM Alexa here. As a follow-up to Nathaniel's Birthday Bale post (and all the American Psycho love shown in the comments) I had to share these wood panels by artist Kelly Puissegur, a.k.a. retrowhale. I've blogged about Kelly's work before; she has a wonderfully artful take on some famous directors, and she's also made panels illustrating other films (I love her sweet 80s movie set). You can check them all out at her shop. As you can see, her detailed style is perfectly suited to Patrick Bateman's world.

i believe i saw this movie 20 times and it's always hilarious and sometimes crazy and ...what beautiful ass!
pomme -- yes on all those things but the first one (20 times?!!)
i have to go return some videotapes.
oh one more thing: I do think it would be fascinating for someone to excavate reviews of this movie. People were so dismissive at the time. Now everyone loves it.
I dragged people to the theater to see this in 2000, and they all walked out yelling at me about how they didn't understand it. Now of course, they've memorized the lines and quote it regularly at parties.
Best Lead Male performance of 2000, that's for darn sure.
