Do you ever remember watching Anime late night on Sci-Fi or other local channels? Or maybe the shows that were broadcasted on Nickelodeon? The oldies, the classics, the gems that were hand picked to be brought over for Western Audiences.
Let's take a trip down memory lane and indulge in a time long since past.
>When Christian Bale first asked to meet with you to get your approval for the role, he actually showed up at the restaurant in character. Did that freak you out?
>That was in 1998, I think, when that happened. I didn’t have an issue with Christian Bale doing that at the time, it was just seriously unnerving. You know, even though the book had done well and it was a popular novel, I had not seen people acting like Patrick Bateman or trying to appear like him. There was actually a period there for four or five years after the movie was released where people would come up to me at book signings, and guys would show me [pictures of] their Halloween costumes, and it was them dressed as Patrick Bateman. All over the world, maybe a thousand times it happened. [The meeting with Bale] was before any of that happened, and I was unnerved that I was in a restaurant with someone pretending to be this monster that I created. I just wanted him to stop. I asked him to stop, then he gave me that psychotic stare but finally he did, and it was fine, and then [...] But he was intense! - Bret Easton Ellis on meeting Bale for the first time
