You don't have to wonder. Ellis wrote a book about it. It's about him, yeah the author is the main character, and Bateman stalks him.
I read American Psycho twice... I couldn't get through the one about him being stalked by his own character even once. Anytime an author makes themselves a character it's really cringy. That's stuff kids do in highschool to be edgy. I know, I've done it. When a professional does it it's just lazy.

These are great. He's so into them and having a good time.

I wonder what a “25 years later” American Psycho 2 would look like? How would he deal with aging? What would be his current obsessions?
And yes I know there is already an American Psycho 2 but I think we can all agree to ignore that.

Interesting I never knew of "American Psycho 2". I might have to give it a watch just for the lulz since it has Mila Kunis and Shatner in it.

It’s terrible and they just tacked the American Psycho name on it in the 11th hour.

That doesn't surprise me since it was apparently released straight to DVD. Still might watch it with friends after a few brewskis MST3000-style

It's not worth watching. It's not so bad it's good. It's just bad.

Great watch, love to hear him talk about all of those roles and the people he worked with.
