Movie Review by BillyBob

The Rules Of Revulsion

I think 1/2 a star is a more appropriate rating for this one.

About a year before seeing this flick I had read the novel of the same name by author,Brett Easton Ellis(or BEE for short).

It wasn't until seeing this film,though, that I was able to fathom the fascinating intellectual level,and profound spiritual depth of the main,male character. There are 2 particular scenes in this flick,that don't seem to be in BEE's novel (pity), which lay out this character's amazingly magnetic charisma very clearly. Yeah,they sum it up very well.

The first absolutely riveting scene is when this guy's sitting on the toilet taking a dump and he wipes his butt with some toilet paper and then he brings this brown-stained wad of ass-wipe right up to his face to check out the quality(?)(and smell?) of his excrement before throwing it all into the toilet bowl. You know,it wouldn't have surprised me one bit if this self-adoring,little he-man had actually taken a taste of his own delicious turds. I'm sure he was dying to do it. And I'm sure he would've totally loved it,too.

WOW!!!! Doesn't this sound like a totally great movie so far?? Don't you just want to see it, like,RIGHT AWAY!!???

And if this first scene isn't enthralling enough.......(this movie just keeps getting better and better) There's this other scene that's (almost,but not quite) as fascinating as the first scene,it goes pretty much like this.....It's the same guy again(yawn! oh,pardon me) and he's walking down the street and he's mindlessly picking his nose(he's got his picking finger inside his snot-hole right up to the 2nd joint) and when he finally gets that special booger on the tip of his finger he pulls it out and studies it real closely like it was the most interesting and beautiful thing he's ever seen in his life(and, I guess,next to his own poop,it is) and then he rolls it up so nicely into a cute, little ball and flicks it away (or,does he actually eat it?)..........WHATEVER!! I think you get the picture.

It's scenes just like these 2 that make this character (and this movie) just so absolutely interesting to watch,and watch,and watch. Check it out for yourself. I'm sure you'll agree.

If the utterly shallow characters in this film are supposed to represent me and 'my' generation,then it's so painfully obvious to me that mankind hasn't got a hope in hell for survival on this ol' planet. We don't.

So,why don't you all just fuh-fuh-fade away! Talkin' 'bout my generation. Hope I die before I get old.

I liked the film despite its characters being so despicable. Had I read the book, I imagine my opinoin would have been different. This was a fun review to read.
