I'm no American Psycho expert myself -although Artie and I are always amazed by the sheer mass of boys our age who identify with Patrick Bateman. So rather than analyze it, I thought forwarding this gchat convo with CHX ( a fan) would be apt.
Charles: that american psycho shit is insane
me: i know!
isnt that so funny
i wonder what on earth made them pick it?
Charles: the forgot the vanilla milk shake
i know! the food is supposed to be humorously disgusting!
i think in the book the santa fe chicken is raw
me: ha. THATS why vinegar hill house picked it. they just want the chance to make their salted chicken on new years. they are so obsessed with that dish
What do you think? Are you won over? Yay or Nay? Seems strange that they picked American Psycho of all the possible literary themed dinner parties there are to throw out there. One of the waiters must be a real fan-atic.
Yes. Interesting choice. It's funny because the men I see at Vinegar Hill House could be seen as the Patrick Bate-men of today. I mean, wall street guys these days don't care about their clothes and electronics, or even, what color and font their business cards are... do they? Leave that to the hipsters!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I don't see the appeal of partying with psychos. What ever happened good old Gastby?
