Why Christian Bale is my all-time favorite rock music critic (punk, single)

i seem to remember most of the sh*t in the book goes down in one chapter, and none of it you could recreate on film and expect to pass the censors. Especially the bit with the gerbil

Bollocks to the censors , it's a film called American bloody Psycho.
You should get what you pay for. If you don't want to see people being psycho go see a Disney movie. I'm an adult I don't need protecting.

Well, that's my take on it anyway

the point in the book though is by the time you get to the blood and guts you have an idea of what's driven him to such extreme ends. I love the movie as an experience but it's a much more objective narrative I guess

i agree lol but i imagine inclusion of those scenes would have hampered it's cinematic release; and i think in light of the movie being a compacted version of the book (obviously) the original mutilation scenes would have just baffled audiences and ruined the movie. Who knows. Anyone who enjoyed the film should read the book regardless, i picked mine up on amazon for pittance. And then read Generation X

edit: the direct-to-video sequel stars William Shatner apparently *sigh*

oh yeah and realising this has veered off-topic but didn't the movie completely disregard the novel anyway with the twist at the end? Or did the novel have that too and i'm just going senile?

To bring up Tarantino again, there's another scene I like. In Jackie Brown, when Jackie introduces the bail-bondsman to the Delfonics.
