Patrick isn't materialistic because he enjoys nice clothes or the finest restaurants, he's materialistic because he has to be better than everyone else
@@SaRENRampaiger No, fitting in has to do with being psychotic. Fitting in is one of the hardest thing when you are not like anyone else and has to cover what you truly do.
Nah the competition part is just part of being a man, its the obsession with the state of tools to the degree that undermine their purpose, that is sacrilege to life itself
It is a strange ending, but I've heard enough from the film-makers to know that Bateman was a murderous psychopath, it's just that everyone around him is so vapid and self-involved, that they don't notice or can't even tell each other apart. He finally got to the point where he doesn't even care anymore.
He begins losing his mind in the book through each chapter. Patrick Bateman’s character is also a pathological liar so most of the things in the book may not actually be true because it’s told in the first person.
That’s something this film does tbh I love watching people react to is because everytime both of the reactors have a different opinion on what occurs in the film
Apparently the studio (and some of the cast and crew) was very dissatisfied with Bale's performance while they were shooting, but you can clearly tell that Christian Bale knew exactly what the film needed in him and he committed to doing it that way.
It's cause the character Patrick Batemen himself is acting and trying to fit into society. So Bale is such a good actor, he was playing a character that was trying to fit in. People thought Patrick Bateman's poor acting was Christian's acting.
thats not true actually. they thought that he was a shitty actor and just to add on that he was the least payed (he was payed basically the minimum, even the makeup artists were payed more than him, and that didnt really help with their view on his acting), BUT when the movie finally came out they realized how fantastic his acting actually is
My theory for the "I had dinner with Paul Allen 10 days ago" is that Carnes didn't actually have dinner with Paul, instead just like everyone else in that materialistic world thought the guy he had dinner with is Paul. Just like Paul thought Patrick is Marcus, and Carnes thought Patrick is Davis. It just highlights one of the film's most important thematics, which is people are self absorbed and self centered, that they don't even bother to remember other people's identities.
The detective even said when he first interviewed Patrick that someone said that he had dinner with Paul Allen but he mistaken someone alse for being him and he provided unreliable information
He actually did kill most, if not all, of those people. The director stated that he is actually a murderer He did kill Jared Leto's character, but it's ambiguous if that's actually Paul Allen or not since everyone in their business/yuppie world of Patrick are so similar in terms of clothing style and lifestyle that they constantly mistake everyone's names (i.e. other characters referring to Bateman as another person in passing). The only hallucination in my opinion is him killing the police officers at the end/the explosion of the police car after only a few bullets.
100% I personally believe that he did kill the real Paul Allen (since he had his apartment and the police were investigating), but the gentleman at the end actually had dinner with someone else and thought it was Paul Allen, like how you mentioned everyone getting everyone mixed up.
He did kill the real Paul Allen it seems that Patrick is the only one who knows about other people and what they do and doesn't mistake them for each other.
@@touchingisjustthefirststep Which brilliantly implies that only a psychopath would bother getting familiar with anyone in such a meaningless environment
@@nicholasking4067 what if the detective was imaginary too. You can interpret this movie three ways 1) he killed all 2) he killed some, some are imaginary 3) all of it is imaginary and all 3 are true and that was the idea behind a movie
Such a fantastic film! I'm sure someone else will mention this, but they actually did three seperate takes for each of the interrogation scenes and mixed them together; one where Patrick isn't suspected at all, one where he's a suspect and one where they know he did it. It really makes those scenes special!
Bale is a sorely underrated comedic actor. He's not a zany, screwball comedian like Jim Carrey, or even the subtler types like a Steve Martin or Cary Grant in his heyday, but man when you give him some levity to work with, he can do a lot with it. This movie, American Hustle, and The Big Short among others. He's the only reason why I'm looking forward to the next Thor.
@@jeanb7158 meh, Ash is BEYOND ignorant…..clearly uneducated and not interested in anymore apparently. Those silly inane symbolisms…..and he almost ALWAYS misses the actual POINT of almost every scene or symbol, the girl usually Gets it FAST…..he’s the reason I stopped watching….don’t know why this was recommended ……o and there’s him telling us alllll about him,….like he’s not YA KNOW DESCRIBED IN THE TITLE . Guess Ash didn’t know the bare bones of a psychopath…..ugh. 🙄🤮 poor girl.
That swerve at the end is one of my favorite ones in film. Christian Bale has had so many absolute bangers in his resumé, it's quite crazy! You should watch Equilibrium, a very underrated performance of his.
Bale in American Psycho: “You can always be thinner”. Bale in The Fighter: “I could probably be thinner “. Bale in The Machinist: “ Alright I think that’ll do it”.
One of my favorite things about this movie is that all of Defoe's scenes were filmed three ways; doesn't suspect Patrick, suspects Patrick, knows it was Patrick. Then it was all spliced together to make really interesting and disconcerting scenes.
Also to explain the end, he did kill everybody, and the lawyer says he had dinner with Paul Allen because in this world, everyone is similar. It’s those symbolisms you were talking about. The lawyer was just covering Patrick same as the real estate lady selling Paul’s place.
@@japython I’m sorry, you are referring to the end where Paul’s place is being painted and sold. As I said, the real estate lady just wanted to sell it meaning she was okay with removing dead bodies. You can tell this is true because when Patrick shows up, she becomes very cautious about him realizing it was he who committed those killings in Paul’s place even asking Patrick to leave. In the end this is a world of greed where anyone will do anything to get what they want. You could even say the character in the movie are more evil or troublesome than Patrick because they never catch on or even care about when he talks about his Psychotic alter ego
@@Kingvxmp yeah I need to sell this place so I'm just going to get rid of these countless numbers of literal truckloads of dismembered bodies because it would make the place easier to sell, said no real estate agent ever, I feel like the more likely scenario is that most if not all of the killings were simply a figment Patrick's imagination, vivid fantasies bleeding over into his reality, no different than his shootout with the police with is super Glock that can cause cars to explode.
The book makes this movie look like a daycare... it has soooo many graphic details... it really kind messes you up😳😳😳 they did do a good job of showcasing his obsession with his routine, music, and restaurants... sometimes those things would go on for pages or even chapters
It doesn't mean that he didn't kill Jared Leto's character. It's just that they keep forgetting each others names and who's who. This movie is kind of a cautionary tale about the path of modernity, nobody cares about anyone, people have affairs with each others friends, everyone's doing everything just so they can impress people they don't like, and it also shows the materialism that's oh so prevalent at the moment.
He’s also crazy and is hallucinating much of it. We don’t know what he really did and didn’t do. Unless you think the ATM actually told him to feed it a cat or a pistol magically materialized in his coat and blew up a cop car.
@@Gunnar001 Yeah, everyone's saying that that's all in his mind. I was thinking the same thing for the longest time, but I'm not sure anymore. Why would there be one, over the top, hallucination/vision and what does it mean..? That bit is truly absurd but so is the ending, right? He confesses everything and they're still like, no Pat, don't be silly, pretty surreal, if you ask me. Edit: The director definitely doesn't want everyone to think that it was all in Pat's head, but she kinda failed in that sense as there are far too many things that indicate that. She wanted it to be more open-ended.
God, just in the first two minutes of the video, you had me smiling so much! You guys are amongst my favorite reaction youtubers because you give off such cute and wholesome couple energy! Every video is a blessing. I wish you both the best.
This is one of the most symbolic movies you've watched on the channel. A thing that a lot of reactors fail to remember is that no one knows who each other are because they are so self-obsessed. The lawyer THINKS he had dinner with Paul Allen twice because he doesn't care. He doesn't even know he is talking to Patrick. He thinks he's talking to someone else.
Y'all misread the ending, it's cool most people do the 1st time. The idea isn't that he didn't kill anyone. It's that everyone in the film is so self centered and all act the same that they can't tell each other apart. Remember Paul Allen never called him Patrick. Characters will constantly call each other by the wrong name throughout the film. The director has already come out and said that the kills are all real. They covered up his kills at the apartment and Paul is actually dead but no one noticed because they are all the same and to self centered to care or even properly remember each other's names or tell them apart. It was this culture that created Patrick in the 1st place and will enable him to keep killing. Patrick can do whatever he wants without repercussion.
He did kill all those people. The scene where he enters Paul Allens appartment near the ending proves it. The realestate woman asks him if hes there because of the add in the times to which he answers yes. She then tells him that there was no add in the times and asks him to leave without any trouble and never return. She basically just cleaned up after him because if word came out that a serial killer was stashing all his kills there the appartment would loose value. The Director also says she didnt intend that people would be all confused about that and had she known she would have made it more clear.
American Psycho is something I’ve been waiting for you both specifically to react to because y’all are nothing but pure entertainment. This video was fuckin hilarious the whole way through thank you & keep watching movies together
Ash’s reaction to this movie was my reaction to this movie. I absolutely love this movie and have watched it multiple times. My favorite scene is the card scene. Hands down made it on my top 5 list of favorite movies 🎥 ❤
All that stuff DID happen! The book is a great exploration on the yuppie culture and the dark meaning around the killings, with much more detail and graphic things.
pretty sure i read somewhwere the screenwriter said there is a point in the film where it becomes more delusion. Personally i felt like the point was that he is an unreliable narrator and its deliberately ambiguous as to what is real and what isnt. I cant believe that all of it happened as some of the killings where so reckless that it would seem unrealistic and unbelievable that there would be know evidence of wrongdoing. Security cameras/passers by/the body count of people. The fact that an atm told him to feed it a cat shows there is definitely some delusion atleast. I always saw it as the book that is found with all his musings and drawings was where he lived out his fantasies.
@@jonahdube9033 Yea the stuff shooting at the police and killing the guy at the desk, obviously that didn't happen. Cars don't explode when you shoot them.
You guys had the right reaction first time through, this movie is hilarious. When I first watched this I thought it was a serious thriller, when really Bateman is a parody of American exceptionalism/materialism
18:00 Fun fact: The director shot the detective's close-ups three times... Once to show he knows Patrick did it, once to show the detective is unsure whether or not Patrick did it, and once to show the detective thinks that Patrick is innocent. Then they edited all those shots together.
The thing about the business card scene that I really like is that it highlights both the general theme of the movie and two of Patrick's most defining traits. The theme being everyone is so materialistic and selfish they don't actually care about each other and constantly mistake everyone for someone else (notice everyone's card lists them all as the Vice President of the company), and Patrick being nonchalant and collected when committing brutal murder but then freaking out and panicking over tiny things like someone else having a better card/apartment than him or losing a dinner reservation, the other trait being him trying so hard to fit in and be "normal" it actually works and he ends up becoming as bland and forgettable as everyone else which just pisses him off even more.
you're my favorite Iranian... and you two are destined to be together and grow old and then fight IRL for 40+ years.. great movie.. great reaction.. i applaud you dropping your job and going for it.. cheers from america
What I love about this movie is how its like made out to make you question wether he has done anything or whether its all just in his head because hes a psycho, when I rewatched it, right at the start hes just straight up psycho to the bar lady and she just doesnt hear him at all…did he really say it, or is it just what hes thinking? Great film and another great reaction, just followed your Instagram ash! 👏🏼💪🏼
I've watched a lot of your videos now and was not subscribed so there you go I just did, but no bad comment after because you guys are so genuine and fun to watch. please keep doing your stuff and Ash is so funny, I hope he gets success for investing everything on youtube. you have my full support guys thank you for the content.
The different expressions on both of you during the different scenes really, really adds to the nuances of every scene. Both are heartfelt, both are wildly different. Exactly as the director intended.
He isn’t materialistic. He is completely obsessed with image. He mentioned where he lives first not because it's particularly nice but because it's very exclusive. A materialistic person cares about an item, Patrick only cares about the status that comes with owning the item. The business card scene is a perfect example.
Imo, one of the most underrated quips in this movie is the “is that a gram?” Line from Bryce after Patrick opens his card holder. It’s so fast and hard to catch what he says on the first go so most people write it off as non-essential dialogue (which is true, but those people missed out on one of the greatest one-liners in movie history 😂😂)
No, it is not a fantasy. It is an allegory of how the 80's world, based in looks and status made impossible for people like Patrick to fail no matter how awful or bad they screw up, in the book the constant confussion between characters is a theme because everybody looks, cares for and acts the same. P.s. Hanna has moved up to the 2nd prettiest redhair girl in my book, can't tell how long Isla Fisher's reign is going to last at this point.
He definitely killed people. It’s just everyone is so superficial that people don’t really know each other. For instance people thought bateman was Paul Allan. They all kind of look the same and act the same etc. the dude that lawyer had dinner with in London was just a random person like the rest of the Wall Street guys that he thought was Paul Allan lol. And yeah you were right about them wanting to sell the place so they covered up the bodies being found.
I saw this when I was in high school in a packed theater & it was 1 of those movie experiences you always remember because it was a movie like no other movie & the audience were all like "what the hell did I just watch " 😂 I remember it got quite a few big laughs
Firstly, as a huge comic book fan myself I kinda feel Hannah is right, I don’t wanna see a million and one origin movies. Let’s keep the story going until the characters are too old etc . I’m with you Hannah, you have my backing
If you're a comic book fan you shouldn't respect such a naive opinion. She clearly has no idea what she is talking about, which she admits. Spiderman and the Amazing Spiderman are the only 2 Spiderman films that go over quite similar material. If you agree with her then your saying that Spiderman 2 etc was a waste of time, which it ultimately wasn't. Also, Batman from the 80's is nothing like the Nolan trilogy which doesn't rehash that storyline, nor does Burton's sequel or Forever or and Robin or The Batman or Natman vs Superman. So, I think, dear sir, you are full of shit. Her over simplifying of an entire genre is an insult. Nor one that she meant in a particularly harmful way but definitely one that should not be defended.
fun fact, bale based his performance off of tom cruise saying that he had “an intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes” which i think is hilarious
Sweet baby jesus…you two have managed to make me laugh my butt off during your reactions to two of the most horrendously-thematic movies (this and Seven). Congratulations. ❤️
The book is one of the most horrific and disturbing things I’ve ever read. But is written so well that it’s kinda amazing. This movie, though I enjoy it, doesn’t compare to the book… as cliché as it is to say.
This is a perfect example for the novel being so much better than the film. The depiction of Patrick's character and the atrocities he commits is unrivaled.
You should read the book he did kill people and the book is extremely violent they could never make a movie exactly like the book but it's still a great story and great performance
I find that my opinions of films are very similar to Hannah's. She's very insightful and is able to get to the crux of the matter quickly. Well done, Hannah!
Patrick isn't materialistic because he enjoys nice clothes or the finest restaurants, he's materialistic because he has to be better than everyone else

It's that everyone in the film is so self centered and all act the same that they can't tell each other apart. Remember Paul Allen never called him Patrick. Characters will constantly call each other by the wrong name throughout the film. The director has already come out and said that the kills are all real. They covered up his kills at the apartment and Paul is actually dead but no one noticed because they are all the same and to self centered to care or even properly remember each other's names or tell them apart. It was this culture that created Patrick in the 1st place and will enable him to keep killing. Patrick can do whatever he wants without repercussion.
He did kill all those people. The scene where he enters Paul Allens appartment near the ending proves it. The realestate woman asks him if hes there because of the add in the times to which he answers yes. She then tells him that there was no add in the times and asks him to leave without any trouble and never return. She basically just cleaned up after him because if word came out that a serial killer was stashing all his kills there the appartment would loose value. The Director also says she didnt intend that people would be all confused about that and had she known she would have made it more clear.
“Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?”
That's official: your reactions are the best on UA-cam. You crack me up badly!
It's one of the most accurate representation of psychopathy to this day. Cult classic.
American Psycho is something I’ve been waiting for you both specifically to react to because y’all are nothing but pure entertainment. This video was fuckin hilarious the whole way through thank you & keep watching movies together
Omg. This is like the 5th video of yours I watched today, and I’m dying about the Fly. Shoo fly!!! You two are my favorite already!
Love this so much, thank for your beautiful message Nicole 👊🏽
Congrats on the 50k Ash and Hanna, you guys deserve it, I'm doing great by the way Lol
😂😂 I love you mate, thank you
Ash’s reaction to this movie was my reaction to this movie. I absolutely love this movie and have watched it multiple times. My favorite scene is the card scene. Hands down made it on my top 5 list of favorite movies 🎥 ❤
Your girlfriend didn't get upset with Al's death, it was the dog's death that got a reaction out of her...very telling!
That's literally every female reactor who reacts to this movie lol
This is my first time on your channel. But at 15:40 you are so right making you so smart for catching all of it so soon!
"You're crazy I'm attracted to him" why thank you he's literally me.
All that stuff DID happen!
The book is a great exploration on the yuppie culture and the dark meaning around the killings, with much more detail and graphic things.
I'm still not convinced ALL of it happened. There are a few things in the book that make it seem like some of it could be in his head.
pretty sure i read somewhwere the screenwriter said there is a point in the film where it becomes more delusion. Personally i felt like the point was that he is an unreliable narrator and its deliberately ambiguous as to what is real and what isnt. I cant believe that all of it happened as some of the killings where so reckless that it would seem unrealistic and unbelievable that there would be know evidence of wrongdoing. Security cameras/passers by/the body count of people. The fact that an atm told him to feed it a cat shows there is definitely some delusion atleast. I always saw it as the book that is found with all his musings and drawings was where he lived out his fantasies.
@@jonahdube9033 Yea the stuff shooting at the police and killing the guy at the desk, obviously that didn't happen. Cars don't explode when you shoot them.
Whats yuppie culture?
I love how easy it is for you to wind Hannah up. Also, since she hasn’t seen it, I would love to see her watch Texas chainsaw massacre.
You killed me with TCM 🤣🤣🤣
"This is big for him"
Ash being proud of Patrick for confessing is the funniest shit to me
38:32 when you do something really bad in a dream but you wake up:
You guys had the right reaction first time through, this movie is hilarious. When I first watched this I thought it was a serious thriller, when really Bateman is a parody of American exceptionalism/materialism
18:00 Fun fact: The director shot the detective's close-ups three times... Once to show he knows Patrick did it, once to show the detective is unsure whether or not Patrick did it, and once to show the detective thinks that Patrick is innocent. Then they edited all those shots together.
I love you people. Your reactions is pure dopamine to my brain.
The thing about the business card scene that I really like is that it highlights both the general theme of the movie and two of Patrick's most defining traits. The theme being everyone is so materialistic and selfish they don't actually care about each other and constantly mistake everyone for someone else (notice everyone's card lists them all as the Vice President of the company), and Patrick being nonchalant and collected when committing brutal murder but then freaking out and panicking over tiny things like someone else having a better card/apartment than him or losing a dinner reservation, the other trait being him trying so hard to fit in and be "normal" it actually works and he ends up becoming as bland and forgettable as everyone else which just pisses him off even more.
you're
my favorite Iranian... and you two are destined to be together and grow old and then fight IRL for 40+ years.. great movie.. great reaction.. i applaud you dropping your job and going for it.. cheers from america
What I love about this movie is how its like made out to make you question wether he has done anything or whether its all just in his head because hes a psycho, when I rewatched it, right at the start hes just straight up psycho to the bar lady and she just doesnt hear him at all…did he really say it, or is it just what hes thinking? Great film and another great reaction, just followed your Instagram ash! 👏🏼💪🏼
"Mergers and acquisitions." 😉
I've watched a lot of your videos now and was not subscribed so there you go I just did, but no bad comment after because you guys are so genuine and fun to watch. please keep doing your stuff and Ash is so funny, I hope he gets success for investing everything on youtube. you have my full support guys thank you for the content.
You had me dead laughing at "You should be grateful, he didn't kill you!" :'D
The different expressions on both of you during the different scenes really, really adds to the nuances of every scene. Both are heartfelt, both are wildly different. Exactly as the director intended.
He isn’t materialistic. He is completely obsessed with image. He mentioned where he lives first not because it's particularly nice but because it's very exclusive. A materialistic person cares about an item, Patrick only cares about the status that comes with owning the item. The business card scene is a perfect example.
Imo, one of the most underrated quips in this movie is the “is that a gram?” Line from Bryce after Patrick opens his card holder. It’s so fast and hard to catch what he says on the first go so most people write it off as non-essential dialogue (which is true, but those people missed out on one of the greatest one-liners in movie history 😂😂)
This reaction is going to be great lol i can feel it .
@@thomassmart4088 No, you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
Hannah's reaction when they are in the restroom! Lol!!
best line”i like to dissect girls, did you know im utterly insane”
No, it is not a fantasy. It is an allegory of how the 80's world, based in looks and status made impossible for people like Patrick to fail no matter how awful or bad they screw up, in the book the constant confussion between characters is a theme because everybody looks, cares for and acts the same. P.s. Hanna has moved up to the 2nd prettiest redhair girl in my book, can't tell how long Isla Fisher's reign is going to last at this point.
It's not really an allegory, it's a pretty on-the-nose satire..
You guys are hysterical. Ash knows you are better than those others Hannah. I think you two are great together.
“YOU PUT SOME HIGH HEELS ON, YA PRIG!!”
Lmmfao
The book is so graphic that most people i know couldn’t finish it.
idk what that says about me then, since ive read it like a hundred times lmao
The book is incredible
7:25 He's literally peeling a mask off his face as he's telling the audience the face he shows the world is a lie.
I absolutely LOVE these reactions & how much fun you guys have!
American Psycho and Se7en?
you guys are on a roll.
always a great duo you guys are.
Funny, spontaneous and you think alike.
Keep up the good work.
When you realize the psycho next to you thinks this is a romantic comedy...
He definitely killed people. It’s just everyone is so superficial that people don’t really know each other. For instance people thought bateman was Paul Allan. They all kind of look the same and act the same etc. the dude that lawyer had dinner with in London was just a random person like the rest of the Wall Street guys that he thought was Paul Allan lol. And yeah you were right about them wanting to sell the place so they covered up the bodies being found.
In the book, he killed some of them but not all of them. In the movie it's deliberately vague if he did any of it.
@@deeem2628 not true
Lol “definitely” …….
@@tylerbramhall6596 he did.
I saw this when I was in high school in a packed theater & it was 1 of those movie experiences you always remember because it was a movie like no other movie & the audience were all like "what the hell did I just watch " 😂 I remember it got quite a few big laughs
This is the high point of Bale's career - he's never topped this.But that's understandable - it is just so good.
Firstly, as a huge comic book fan myself I kinda feel Hannah is right, I don’t wanna see a million and one origin movies. Let’s keep the story going until the characters are too old etc . I’m with you Hannah, you have my backing
If you're a comic book fan you shouldn't respect such a naive opinion. She clearly has no idea what she is talking about, which she admits. Spiderman and the Amazing Spiderman are the only 2 Spiderman films that go over quite similar material. If you agree with her then your saying that Spiderman 2 etc was a waste of time, which it ultimately wasn't. Also, Batman from the 80's is nothing like the Nolan trilogy which doesn't rehash that storyline, nor does Burton's sequel or Forever or and Robin or The Batman or Natman vs Superman. So, I think, dear sir, you are full of shit. Her over simplifying of an entire genre is an insult. Nor one that she meant in a particularly harmful way but definitely one that should not be defended.
When a woman says "You are right," take note. It's like Halley's comet.
P.S. Ash, you killed this one, mate. That was hilarious.
If this is how excited and crazy giddy he got with this film, imagine how he would with Basic Instinct! Try that one! LoL
You noticing that he mentioned his building before his name was something that flew right over my head
The dude at the end acts like paul allen isnt dead because Patricks father is their CEO
fun fact, bale based his performance off of tom cruise saying that he had “an intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes” which i think is hilarious
I heard that Bale modeled Bateman's performance after Tom Cruise.
My favorite scene has to be Green Goblin interrogating Batman (Patrick Batman) about the disappearance of Joker.
Sweet baby jesus…you two have managed to make me laugh my butt off during your reactions to two of the most horrendously-thematic movies (this and Seven). Congratulations. ❤️
My brother David..honour to have you on our channel ❤️
This dude laughs at all the weird shit I do and all the stuff my wife would give the side eye too.
One of the funniest films I’ve ever seen
Honestly it is.
Bro when dude said “your prettier than that” I was absolutely geeked. Movie was dark humor to the max at the time 🤣
The book is one of the most horrific and disturbing things I’ve ever read. But is written so well that it’s kinda amazing. This movie, though I enjoy it, doesn’t compare to the book… as cliché as it is to say.
Patrick kills the dog
HANNAH: 💀😭
ASH: "😂😂😂😂😂 LOOK BABY HE KILLED THE DOG 😂😂😂😂😂"
I love Ash's sense of humor 🤣
This is a perfect example for the novel being so much better than the film. The depiction of Patrick's character and the atrocities he commits is unrivaled.
this is a dark comedy you're suppose to laugh 😭😭😭
Hahaha, Ash on people subscribing while Hannah swoons the earth: "...even if you hate me..." lol
You should read the book he did kill people and the book is extremely violent they could never make a movie exactly like the book but it's still a great story and great performance
*Sees Jared Leto
_“That’s the worst joker”_ 🤣🤣💀
I'm doing ok, fanks. When Ash really gets going, he turns into Ali G.
I find that my opinions of films are very similar to Hannah's. She's very insightful and is able to get to the crux of the matter quickly. Well done, Hannah!
"GRATEFUL!?" LOL!!
"This guy right here" is adorable. Love you both and I just subscribed.
