American Psycho: Astrological Interpretation - Discussions, questions

rohini moon » rohini moon If you watch the movie all of their insanely hilarious quotes will be in your head....

I used to cop Jared´s line too...when I was busy..I´d say jokingly, of course..
"CANT! GOT AN 8:30 RES AT DORSIA!"

<----- Patrick Bateman

fishscales » rohini moon Yes that would definitely be a good "away message´...

I also love how that´s the last thing he says to the girl after he breaks up with her and leaves her at the table crying...been thinking about that all day

Must have looked like a psycho myself, cutting the grass and randomly laughing...kept popping into my head for some reason...

rohini moon » fishscales "I was returning video tapes"

I´m dating myself here, I´m sure you remember good ol´ AOL instant messenger back in the day...how you could leave an "away message" - my friend used to use that line as The message..

Was a laugh riot.

cubic » rohini moon Thanks. But adopting the persona of Patrick Bateman is not terribly important to me. I just have my moments once in a while. I do want to fit in, but I think if I show myself as I am, I could quickly provoke a general social concern.

fishscales » rohini moon "I have to return some videotapes"

OK I guess I forgot how intentionally funny this movie was...

Makes me feel less guilty about laughing at it now

rohini moon » rohini moon Sorry I´m gonna ruin this guys thread with hilarity but...it´s worth it..

https://m.youtube.com/watch/…

Definitely the correct way to break up..

"You´re not terribly important to me"

"I´ve assessed the situation! And I am going!"

rohini moon » fishscales I´ve seen it so much in my youth, the hilarity is embedded in my brain

It´s a big mixture of the absurdity of the character - first and foremost what he says, as if it´s normal and says it completely straight faced (Capricorn there) and then it´s also Christian Bale trying to hide his limey accent with this yuppie, conservative, emotionless robotic tone..

It was great.. I laugh hard at nearly every scene

fishscales » rohini moon Returning video tapes...

I need to watch this again, it´s been a while.

LotusStar » Anni23 Yeah he definitely fits a lot of the signs I expect the character to have. I can´t imagine a more perfect Patrick Bateman.

LotusStar » cubic Haha, nicely done.

This movie is part dark comedy/satire, it´s meant to be funny! Well, at least a little funny.

rohini moon » cubic "He´s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Christian Bale has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor."



You´re good at this... you ever consider changing your username to Patrick Bateman, and adopting that persona on astroseek?

rohini moon » fishscales Me, you and just about every friend I´ve ever had...

Hilarious character... insane but hilarious

Best excuses a character has given..

"I was probably returning video tapes"

And..
" I was having a shower, and some sorbet"

cubic Do I like American Psycho? I´ve been a big Christian Bale fan ever since the release of American Psycho. Before that, I really didn´t understand any of his work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on American Psycho Christian Bales´ presence became more apparent. I think it´s his undisputed masterpiece. It´s an epic meditation on intangibility.

I think it was at that point, that he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole movie has a clear, crisp vision, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the whole experience a big boost. He´s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Christian Bale has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Iceblu333 I´ve been meaning to finish that movie; I might watch it today.

fishscales » rohini moon Why do we both find this movie funny

What is wrong with us

Anni23 » LotusStar What about like the actor? Hehehe

Aquarius Sun
Taurus moon
Capricorn Venus
Taurus mars
Libra Pluto
Scorpio ascendant?..(idk, can´t find it)

rohini moon I used to watch that movie a lot in my early 20s, got a lot of quotes from that movie and songs - that have never been looked at the same ever again.

Everything the character did and said was hilarious.

The scenes between him and DT Kimball..

The microscopic details of the business cards that he was practically having an orgasm over..

His incredible detailed knowledge on Phil Collins and Whitney Houstons musical ´nuances´´

Music, fitness, materialism ...... heavy in Virgo, libra, Taurus and Scorpio...probably.

fishscales Very concerned with comparing (remember the business card scene?), so some Libra influence.

Very health and routine oriented, so there´s some Virgo.

Also picking up Taurus (holds grudges) and Cap influences (job, concern with status) as well.

And of course, there´s got to be a difficult Pluto somewhere.

Whatever his astrological influences are, this scene is hilarious.

SagMeister » LotusStar Interesting point of view. Thx

LotusStar It´s a 90s classic one of my favorites

I think he is a Capricorn Sun square Pluto Libra (obsessed with status, wants to be ´Boss´) with Libra rising (wants to look good and be liked, says the right things, has a superficial charm) Mars in Virgo in 12 house (obsessive meticulous routines, violent fantasies, secretly seething angry). Pluto on the ascendant in Libra makes him as attractive as he is, women always fall for his charm.

Not sure about his Moon... Aquarius maybe? Aloof? Or maybe in fire sign, explosive when angry.

Venus....I don´t now, maybe Scorpio It would fall in his 2nd house, making him obsessively materialistic as he is, and the bdsm thing.

He has to have a prominent Lilith too. Either conjunct his Moon or Venus.

SagMeister For those who haven´t seen the movie, here´s a brief explanation of the main character.

The film is about the story of a New York yuppie of the 80´s, Patrick Bateman, a beautiful boy who lives in the superficiality and extreme hedonism of those years. Everything in the film is centered on this concept and in particular on the male figure who collapses between the "new hedonistic and manicured man" and the "old hard and macho man". Patrick is obsessed with himself, his beauty and what people think of him, he feels no emotion. He lives in a fake context made of appearances in which he hides his true serial killer nature. He will kill a lot of people during the film but it doesn´t seem to affect him at all, while he will be very concerned about much less significant events: e.g. not being able to make a reservation at the most luxurious restaurant, not having the most beautiful business card, not being clear about his sexual identity (in this scene exactly halfway through the film you will see for the first and only time his fragility).

So with this information, what kind of birth chart would you create?
