I hear ya, Dressel.  I really do.  I've seen the film at least 5 times, probably more.

For me, it was bludgeoning with all the pulp fiction.  Like every scene had so many references to 80's sub culture, pop culture, whatever culture.  I can see where it's defintely a love/hate kind of film.  It's very cold and cold blooded in just about everything it represents...almost sad, IMO.

When I find it playing on a movie channel, I'll watch it to this day, cause again, there are some great scenes and the like, and I actually find it very funny in places.  I just think like alot of things (films, etc.) people tend to read too much into what it really is.  They try to make it so much more than it really is.  At least with this movie, there are reasons for that, unlike so many other flicks that get the same treatment.

That's mainly how the book was.  Like, how there's a single scene where Bateman talks about Phil Collins?  That was a whole rambling chapter in the book.  It was great.

Oh believe me, I know. I'm not usually one to do that.  I have a friend who does, and his most recent over-analyzing was "Step Brothers".  Ugh.
