I just realized it’s been well over a week since I saw any of my friends and I’m jonesing for my own personality to come out (unlike the quiet, shy, polite me that New Job is currently seeing). I miss my friends. I like you so much more now that you’re not available.
Here’s a video I discovered a week or two ago, a cover of Talking Heads’ “This Must Be The Place”, but where the music video is an homage to American Psycho. Miles Fisher does have an uncanny resemblance to Christian Bale in this video, though I haven’t seen the movie (I don’t like horror, gore or chick flicks for that matter, not that it is one but it does star Christian Bale) so I can’t make a comparison there.
Yeah, so, like, don’t watch this if you’re at work, or if there are little kids around, or anyone who’s easily disturbed.
This is my favourite Talking Heads song but I consider it so joyful that combining it with images of sex, violence and 1980s narcissism is really incongruous to me. Well, maybe not on the last point, the song is from 1983. In case you feel the same way I do, here’s the unicorn chaser of the live Talking Heads version:
ok, miles fisher is my new favorite musician. its such a catchy song.
american psycho is nothing like what you don’t like. you gotta check it out. its deeper than it seems.
Wow, he is a dead ringer (heh) for Bale, isn’t he? And that’s really a loyal homage to a couple of scenes in the movie.
That song starts off as the most joyless cover ever, but improves.
I think it’s my favourite Talking Heads song, too (either that one or “Nothing But Flowers”).
I disagree with sudobeer. It’s a tremendously gory movie, and I think (like the book) an artistic failure. If gore isn’t your thing, give it a miss.
there’s not alot of gore (that i can remember) sure there the axe killing and the whole chainsaw killing.
course its been a few years.
but if you can make it through the movie, you just may find that there are bits and pieces that you may like. besides the killer soundtrack
