American Psycho Preview Video — Page 4

You got all that from those clips? Wow

So the British audiences that enjoyed it were...stupid, or...?

Not all of us enjoyed it. I t sold out because it was a limited run with Matt Smith hot off Dr Who. He could have appeared in Pericles and it would have sold out!

I don't get what any of you guys are saying. I love these clips!! But I do agree "Cards" is a little weird...

He looks old for 33. We're supposed to buy him as 26? Doesn't he need some kind of boyish charm to pull this off? It just comes across as creepy. I didn't see the movie so maybe he was cast because he resembles Christian Bale?

"Or maybe you just have less discerning tastes."

"I promise that the satire of the story is understood in America, where it comes from. I don't think that satire is an excuse for what appears to be really poor craftsmanship in the writing, which is what has people concerned about the musical here."

THIS. I hate the argument that 'it's intentionally bad' as though anyone who doesn't like the thing you like just isn't clever enough to get it. Even if it is brilliant satire, you still have to provide the audience with an entertaining experience. Otherwise, you still have to sit through an evening of mediocre, tedious music. I'd rather see a show try and fail than lazily fail and tell me that's what they intended. But then I haven't really loved any music I've heard from Duncan Sheik.

That said, I realize I'm reacting to comments and not to the show itself, which I'm still willing to give a chance.

I can't comment on how it will play in New York, and I can't comment visually either, but the numbers did work in context. They're not purposefully bad, they're heightened and surreal, and it did a great job of underlining the feeling that these people are desperately washing themselves of anything organic or real. How do you function as a person when everyone is trying to be the same person? I hope the show as it plays has the same effect as it did when I heard it, because it was terrific. It's a bummer these clips are so clumsy.

The buzz out of London was super strong on this - and I am looking forward to it. It played at the Almedia Theatre where the audience is quite discerning so I'd feel like word of mouth is quite strong

Benji Walker is a total babe - I hope there is a number where he checks himself out in the mirror having sex

Aw, did they replace the original opening number?

Clinique was organic. Wasn't it?

I feel like Donald Trump wrote these lyrics. Not in a positive sense, like that they reflect his superficial super-80s big glass brand in an appropriate way for the material, but in the sense that the lyricist might only know a few dozen words.

ajh said: "In what universe could Benjamin Walker be described as "fugly"?!!! I think he has the perfect combination of swagger, arrogance, playfulness and underlying menace for Bateman. And he is damn sexy.

Really? I'll take your word for it. But whatever he has doesn't translate in these videos.
