When he was w/the 2 hookers, what was with the wire coat hanger? and in a later scene, what did the hooker mean when she had to goto the hospital for what he did to her?

What did he do to her?!

And explain the ending!!!

Don't forget to watch "The Rules of Attraction"...Van der Beek's character is Patrick Bateman's younger brother :p

I figured it was one of those implied things where the audience really doesn't know what he does with the coat hanger and you make up things in your head.... like Hitchcock's type of horror with little blood.

Manual abortion?

Don't recall the coat hanger part for for the hooker going to the hospital comment, I took it as he "ripped her a new one" or "knocked the bottom out of it".

But with what info was given in the movie this was all I could guess she meant, I'm sure the book gives plenty more reason.

If you're interested you should read it. I personally think its one of the great pieces of modern American literature, but thats just me.

book >>> movie

he and Chuck Palahniuk are probably among the best contemporary post-modern authors.

The book is always better than the movie. Only problem is, a movie typically only lasts around 2 hours or less. MUCH more convenient.

I never read the book. The movie doesn't come right out and tell the viewer, but there are enough clues to imply what happened.

The scene I mentioned above is crucial to letting you know what occured. So, I say again; what did one of the girls do as she was leaving? It was a small, quick gesture.

No. It was nothing sexual for the girls. The main character probably got off on watching it happen.

live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
:thumbsup:

I love that movie, but love the book much more. A few things he does in the book that they can't/did not show in the movie:

1. Cut a girls head off and had oral sex with it
2. Crucified several women, attached car batteries to their nipples, dismembered them
3. My personal favorite...starved a rat for a couple weeks, and then bound a woman, smeared cheese all over her genitals, and let the rat loose on her through a tube.
4. Held a lighter up to a homeless mans eye until it burst
5. Several other gruesome things I can't recall...

I seem to recall one part where he beats some person's dog with a bat on the street.
