American Psycho was filmed in Toronto Canada in 1999. An estimated 238K people died in Canada in 1999. Yet the "media" remains silent.

The amount of American Psycho films increased to 100% when they released the movie but you never hear anyone talking about that.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

what about american psycho II: all american girl?

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Another 100%

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 37 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, actors have some tricks

"Yeah we're going to need to do that take again"

He did also move to a mark on the ground and he repeated the lines he memorized when told to

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't believe you, do you have video evidence of this?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

See: American Psycho, the movie

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

How do I know it wasn't a body double.

[–] DampSquid 16 points 10 months ago

I've also heard rumours that he stood where he was told to

Listen — I’m just trying to get things straight. Isn’t this the very definition of a Shitpost?

His reaction looks like he's getting interviewed by Dr. Steve Brule.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Thought so. There’s a good Shitpost community here in Lemmy.

[–] machinaeZER0@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I've never seen this before but it's immediately one of my favorite gifs of all time

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is also known as method acting

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago

Yep, that's when you make a movie using the acting method.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Marlon Brando didn't. 'Cause Marlon Brando wasn't in American Psycho.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

These method actors always doing crazy shit to get into their roles

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

funny because, this is actually closer to what "The Method" really is than any of the weird shit you hear about (a way of analyzing text into small compartments of meaning and what their transitive emotional properties are and then considering the impact those words would have on another person when said with different intentions, and picking one based on surrounding context clues also found in the text)

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

And now you know how far he'd go.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

This is apocryphal. There's no data to support it.

[–] Lawyerator@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Huh, here I thought it was a long ad-lib for a rom-com that got waaaay off track.

Confirmed: back in my theater days my preparation for roles was identical to that of Christian Bale.

[–] Vitaly 3 points 10 months ago

actually he just behaved as usuall

[–] odium@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He’s a madman

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Another fun fact is that the original writer made the main character a self-insert and saw him as the good guy.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

That's crazy

[–] Kunstbanause@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago
