I'm downloading it now to relive it all over again for the first time in ages, but it's also entirely on YouTube.  :punch

I'd never hear of it before now. Thanks!

Also, my Six-Degrees-of-Bacon skills have increased, now that I've got a Rutger Hauer/F. Murray Abraham link!

its almost a 80's/90's all star villain list (missing only Brion James).  I remember this well, as it must have comprised about 10% of the cable channel's TNT's programming throughought the back half of the 90's.

Rutger Hauer and F. Murray Abraham really should have had better careers.

When TNT started getting actual popular movies (and five thousand hours of procedurals) rather than just running whatever garbage or random film they dragged out of the vault to air, especially late at night, was the day a part of humanity died.

American Psycho on TBS was always a favorite because of how it was like a summarized version and only ever aired after 1AM.

I forgot about this movie so when I read the title I thought this was going to be about some pick-up artist book bullshit.

You're saying I should write a PUA book based entirely around the plot of this film?

with a chapter written by Gary Busey, of course "How to look like a deranged muppet and still get chicks"

My first impulse was the thread's about surviving that Compton dwelling name dropping rapper dude.
