The Adventures of Noddy haunt me to this day
Haven't been able to face The Further Adventures yet
But one day..........
The bible is a very violent book.
Baby murders, adult murders, rape, incest etc.
The book is very clever, in that it almost lulls you into boredom. Long stretches of nothing, except Bateman describing his music, his clothes, his women, and his job - and then BAM - he kills someone, then it's back to the endless nothingness....
Does he really kill them? Is he just imagining it all? Who knows. Reading the book, I felt that yes, he does, but it doesn't matter. He was the king of the world, and could do whatever he wanted. No-one believed him, and they didn't care either. He could say what he liked, and they all just nod. They've got their own version. A cruel critique of capitalism at it's finest.
The film went for laughs. It nearly succeeds, but it hasn't got the power of the book.
The casual way he kills a child , then when the kids mother turns up he pretends he's a doctor , says he thinks the boys going to be OK, knowing he's dead then just switches to his workout regime is creepyQuote:

Disturbing read : Helter Skelter: by Vincent Bugliosi the prosecutor in the Charles Manson trail .
Better than the film : One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
The goblins are the problem. Just horrific.Quote:
