You whizzle? have you read American Psycho?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:13, 1 reply, 14 years ago)

Nope and thank fuck for that.
Couldn't you have said you visited an appartment without copying shite from a book?
( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:17, Reply)

It wasn't copied.
American Psycho is a very, very good novel. One of the most important texts of the last thirty years.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:19, Reply)

So if it wasn't copied then you came up with this?
Important how?
( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:22, Reply)

It is in the American Psycho style, inspired by the building.
And important in terms of how it reconciled moralistic, Swiftian satire with the economic savagery of the Eighties.

From a technical point of view, it is a very cleverly constructed piece of fiction which addresses the Gothic, the city, the body, representations of the masculine, misogyny and wittily subverts vampire tropes in the modern Gothic.

It is also very, very funny.

Alright?

Someone completed a course with a very high mark.

we all be so impressed mister!

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:36, Reply)

I'm not trying to impress anyone.
I'm not trying to fuck you, or get a job working for you, so why the shit would I want to impress you? Just because you jumped to an incorrect assumption due to your own dickheadedness and status as OT's biggest wrongcock, and I put you right, does not mean I am trying to impress anyone.

Alright?

all i said was that i was impressed by his qualifications,
after he took the time to put me right and explain to me his qualifications (not that he was doing so to impress me or anything, that was just, i thought at least, a happy side effect of him going to pains to explain his qualifications to me)
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:51, Reply)

I don't see why he'd be angry at that,
He does have impressive qualifications. Makes you think his insecurities are more complex. Maybe he was touched as a child.

hey no need to suggest those sorts of things,

So you did write this knock off nme music review.
Sorry, you ripped off a book that you say is important but made it look like a weak media student attempt.

( girlinthehole, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:53, Reply)

It's not a knockoff NME review.
And the style is deliberately gauche. I wrote it as a nod to the Batemanism of the building.

So your story is that you didn't get the joke and you don't really know what you're talking about.

Bravo that man.

bullshit
it's one of the books of the last 30 years that you've read, there's a difference
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:24, Reply)

Right.
So you assume that I consider most books I read from the last 30 years as seminal and worthy of cultural preservation, amirite?

I have read many, many, many books from the last 30 years and there are very very few which I consider to be culturally important.

American Psycho is one of them, Lilac & Flag is another, as is Atomised. I stand by that statement, and I'm backed up on that by a very wide range of academics.

Alright?

Yup.
He's alright actually, just very, very sure he's right about stuff, which would be OK if it was true more often.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 17 Nov 2011, 21:42, Reply)

well he did complete a course with a high mark,
not that he said that to impress anyone or anything, i just happened to be impressed by that, which is fair really, it is impressive

Actually, the Scottish educational system is, and always has been, better than the English one.
More successful and a broader curriculum.

And this is 100% not jingoistic, patriotic claptrap. That sort of shit winds me up as much as men that wear ties with short sleeved shirts.

Oh, right
thought you meant you only got standard grades to start with because you were in Scatlind, but the good ones came when you moved south.

So was it actually and eng. lit. degree, I gots half of one of those.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 17 Nov 2011, 22:30, Reply)

I did Standard Grades and then moved down here and did A Levels.
The boarding house at my school had closed so I had to move school.

And yeah, an English degree. You can tell, because I used the words 'jingoistic' and 'claptrap'.
