Happy Birthday Patrick!

http://untappedcities.com/newyork/2013/03/28/patri...

From the site:

"This may be one of the whackiest (an awesomest) events we’ve heard of this year. For lovers of Patrick Bateman and American Psycho, BBQ Films, an experiential cinema social club, is hosting an event that will more than satisfy your inner deviant. On April 6th at the Tribeca Underground, come to their special movie night party to celebrate Patrick Bateman’s 27th birthday. As Bateman’s the guest of honor, expect decadence and unabashed 80′s glamour. What’s even crazier is that tickets range from $25 to $3000 for four (with an even higher VIP level that comes with a custom Valentino suit sold out already).

Anybody else see they are going to remake American Psycho?

I think it's too soon (10 years) and don't really like when they remake movies like this.

What do you guys think?

A HUGE hat tip to @The_Analyst for this gem.

Have you ever wanted to go all Patrick Bateman on the Big Apple but didn't know where to start? Fret not, monkeys, for Scouting New York has done all the legwork for you in this excellent research piece.

No, you'll never get reservations at Dorsia, or get bottle service at Tunnel, or meet colleagues for drinks at Flutie's Pier 17. You won't get served by Harry Poulakakos at Harry's any more, because that place went under in 2003, but his son will happily serve you at the same location in the Harry's he later opened.

But Seriously, Do You Like Phil Collins?

“I think my greatest achievement would be ‘Sussudio,’ hands down. Seriously. What are you laughing at?” – from the Uncyclopedia entry on Phil Collins

We haven't had a quality discussion on Wall Street music on WSO since the Superday Playlist thread, so here's a tribute to someone who should be familiar to us all...

I was going to write about commodities and the economy, but with it being a Sunday I felt that I should just take it easy and do some front page trolling.

We all fall under the banner of finance and money, with fictional figures like Gordon Gekko and Patrick Bateman considered as icons but with Forbes releasing their Fictional 15 and The Daily Beast having their own spin with The Richest Movie Characters, I got a little curious about your inner nerds...

Who do you think is the most badass fictional billionaire?

And which of them would you rather be?

these Allen replica business cards from american psycho (customized with your name/firm): http://www.bizcardpro.com/AmericanPsycho/

And would you have the balls to give them to anyone in the industry, who would know instantly what they were, or would you stick to handing them out to kids with sweaty palms at recruiting events.

That is, of course, if you firm even allows non-standard stationary.

If it was ever remade, who do you think would make a good Patrick Bateman?
I vote Christian Bale

Most Memorable Characters in Wall Street Movies

Hint: it’s not theirs <-

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone:

“Stone used to know in his gut that a sermon belongs in the pulpit, not the multiplex. No more.”

Kyle Smith of the New York Post:

“I liked Gordon Gekko better before he turned into Paul Krugman…”

Eugene Novikov of AMCtv:

“The only thing worse than a movie that resorts to painful clichés is one that resorts to painful clichés that are also wildly inappropriate...”

Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is definitely no Godfather II. After being one of the most anticipated movies of 2010 and drawing considerable excitement from the financial community, the film has unfortunately failed to live up to expectations and has drawn much criticism on its plot, casting, and overall suckiness.

Wall Street culture has always been portrayed by the media as that of greed, ruthless competition, and gross apathy towards others. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Fact is your typical Tim Sykes-like douchebag is in the minority, while your average monkey is usually the amicable, fun-loving type, as you may have noticed around the boards-especially when they stick plastic genitalia to you on live TV.

Here are 3 hilarious videos to start your day. Have a good one.

Hrrmm, Could This Be Why Wall Street Has a Bad Rap?

Ladies, gather round. Chief Chimp Patrick forwarded me a press release he just received from a little site called Wall Street Kingdom, which will have you masturbating more vigorously to the toll of unbridled Capitalism than the SEC on its best day.

Truly, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time: Finally a man has endeavored to recreate the wardrobe and ideology that ensconced Patrick Bateman in our hearts. Out of the Netherlands, fashion mega icon, Christian Adriaanse (WHO?!) has launched a fashion site and brand geared towards you Masters of the Universe and Gekko wannabes.

Patrick Bateman breaks out into song:

---
Drenched in equal parts blood and hit '80s pop tunes, Bret Easton Ellis' novel "American Pyscho" chronicled the fissured state of mind of Patrick Bateman, a homicidal New York yuppie who harbored a taste for designer suits and blunt instruments.

The 1991 novel's runaway success spawned a movie starring Christian Bale, which opened in 2000. A musical theater adaptation has been in the works for a while and now appears to be on the fast track, with Duncan Sheik signed on to compose the songs.

Well, Spring Awakening was a great show, but...what do all the monkeys think about this?
