i THOUGHT there must be a connection between jason bateman of bret easton ellis' "the rules of attraction" and patrick bateman of "american psycho," but i finally got the confirmation of that today--the jason character is patrick's younger brother.

i'm interested in seeing this movie. while i didn't like the screen adaptation of "american psycho," the book remains one of the most striking, gripping things i have ever read and i have a great deal of respect for ellis as an author.
