So I love different readings of text, but my all time favorite analysis is of the ‘morning routine’ scene from American Psycho and came from my mum. She worked as a lawyer in the 80s and 90s, took one look at that scene and said “There’s no way this man does anything important. I barely had time to get dressed in the morning, let alone do all that.”

remembering the time I called american psycho (a satirical film about toxic masculinity) a dark comedy and the overwhelming response was 'oh so u think men killing sex workers is funny? u think THAT'S funny?' like no I find a patrick batemen listening to 'i'm walking on sunshine', killing jared leto while wearing a clear raincoat and giving a dissertation on huey lewis n the news, using 'I need to return some video tapes' to get out of awkward situations, throwing a hissy fit about business cards, dropping a chainsaw down a flight of stairs, thinking an atm is telling him to feed it cats, and crying hysterically under a desk is funny. but thank u for ur wonderful insight
