How faithful is the movie American Psycho to the book?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I read the book years after seeing the movie, but I think the book is ultimately more horrifying.

Mostly faithful, but some of the ... squickier portions of the book were not kept. Thank goodness.

I think American Psycho is hands down the most disturbing thing I've ever read.

The ornament was actually sent by the parents of a college friend of mine (lost to ovarian cancer a few years ago). She collected all kinds of ornaments and this used to hang on their tree.
That's a lovely thing for her parents to do!
My weird little competitive streak is ...odd. I like it when I swim farther and faster than very fit guys. Which really, no measure of anything. They're probably triathlete martial artists marathoners. But I'm faster. Whatever, sara!

Loki just discovered the radiators upstairs; I couldn't find him in his usual haunts and was about to start panicking. Nope, just sitting up in the dark on the radiator.

Christmas cake came in the mail! Yes!
I'm adding American Psycho to the top of my Netflix list. Maybe I can get it watched before sister comes back.
