You know, he’s something of a scientist himself

I wish that willem dafoe in this movie just randomly turned into the green goblin and started killing people along with Bateman.

I love his performance in this movie so much, it's so strange and inhuman it becomes unsettling. Willem Dafoe was asked to perform 3 takes of each of his scenes, one where the detective didn't suspect Bateman at all, one where he was suspicious of him and one where he was certain he was Paul's killer, and the takes that made it into the final cut were chosen at random. This makes it completely impossible to tell if he's suspicious of bateman, or anything he's really feeling, adding to the enigmatic feeling that permeates through the whole movie whilst also putting you in the shoes of Bateman, who's of course paranoid of the detective exposing him so he's constantly trying to tell whether or not he knows but of course isn't able to tell.

Holy shit now I know why Dafoe's scenes hit so hard in this movie that's actually genius

But Paul can't be dead, I just had lunch with him last Monday?

Yes and I was banging Pauls wife while you guys were at lunch. She literally said ā€œcome over now Paul is at lunchā€. So no way he is dead

What would happen if by complete coincidence the random picking all picked the same one

they pick at random again because that defeats the point

You must be fun at parties

please, we're both on reddit

Bravo vince

im wheezing

If so then they took that method from Fargo

Really! It's a fantastic way to confuse the hell out of the audience but it feels like it takes amazing acting and editing to actually pull off in a way that's subtle enough to be effective and not make the movie confusing as hell.

What did Fargo do?

what movie is it from

It wasn't just chosen at random iirc. I'm pretty sure they mostly had him say the most incriminating lines like this one in the not suspicious manner to make it even more jarring. Great movie.

You know, I’m something of a psychopath myself

I like to think he is the same detective from Boondocks Saints

The ssssssssssyyymbolism

Redditors when they only remember actors playing in super hero movies

He was in John Wick too. šŸ™‚

Oh god they're making super hero movies now?

He was also Batman and Paul Allen was the Joker

Remembering an actor being drunk over fucking lobsters

should have wiped out his ā€œconfusingly largeā€ dick

"Impressive, very nice" 🄲

Now let's see Paul Allen's dick.

Donald’s on sabbatical, honey!

And then Bateman turns into Batman to stop him

Bateman does look kinda like christan bale

What? You mean how I literally imagine him in every movie?

This would've been a better idea for Mr Beans Holiday though

ā€˜You know, I’m something of a scientist myself’

What movie is this?

The actor that played bateman later played batman. Makes you think…

I completely forgot willem dafoe was actually in this movie

American Psycho moment

He is everywhere.

Every time I hear his name, my brain immediate goes, ā€œPoison!ā€

You know, like Bell Biv DeVoe

Who the fuck is Willem Dafoe?

Enemy of William Daally

sworn nemesis of Willem Dafriend

Willem The Foe

He is some what of a scientist himself

He made an amazing detective, but a lot of credit also goes to the director. Allegedly, during the initial interview scene, they shot three takes, one which Detective Kimball suspected Bateman was the killer, one where Kimball had absolutely no idea, and one where Kimball knew for 100% certain that Bateman was the killer. Then they spliced those three together to get a rollercoaster of a scene, to sway the audience during the whole ordeal.

The scene in question.

Just testing my gas mask, nothing bad will come of this

When the skin is melting 😳

I have several and their filters all expired before 2010

we do a little trolling

It’s called we do a little trolling

Minuscule amounts of tomfoolery

more like mustard ass šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ™„šŸ’…

First job I ever had was when I was 15 working at a Deli where I had to restock shelves and mop up at the end of the night. After a few weeks I was tasked with mopping up the back area where they made hot foods and it was disgusting. Being the genius I am I figured this job would require some heavy duty cleaning products so I inadvertently mixed up the bleach and ammonia not knowing what I was doing. My tiny old man of a boss had to just about drag me out of the back room as I was nearly passing out from the fumes. What a dumbass I was.

Thank science it wasn't real mustard gas, that stuff binds to your dna and gives you cancer if you don't die quickly.

Ironically, that’s also how they cure cancer.

Thats only nitrogen mustard, don't try it with sulfur mustard.

skinwalker and green goblin crossover??!!!1!!11 😳😳

"Peggy that's the recipe for mustard gas!"

Why is willem dafoe in every movie

Because he's something of a scientist

Is that Christian bale and Willem Dafoe in the same scene, in the same movie? Fuck, what movie is this?

American Psycho

Oh wow I thought it was a different movie, I need to see that movie someday.

It’s good

I just found out there is a second movie! I bet it will be a masterpiece that ties in the first one. So excited to watch it

Poor thing…

My science theacher when i literally build a pipe bomb

One time I asked my science teacher if we could build pipe Bombs and he just stared at me

that is not how you make mustard gas, mustard gas is sulfur based and neither ammonia nor bleach contain sulfur, mixing those two makes chloramine gas which is much less potent

Also this meme is stolen

I wonder if this rumor started because of nitrogen mustard which is a chloroethylamine and people thought that sounded similar enough so it must be the same thing.

But chloramine is a yellow caustic gas, so to the common folk it might as well be mustard gas + it doesn't really matter once you inhalte it, it makes little to no difference cuz you'll die either way

I was going to make the chloramine point. Was literally talking to my friend yesterday about this when they accidentally mixed pee and bleach and thought they were gonna die. Facepalm

Stfu

No fuck you lol

No fuck you

You can look it up tho I'm right

Thnx

i wish dafoe shot bateman 36 times in the chest at the end of the movie

I wonder if Alfred Molina thought of this scene when he filmed the ā€œyou have a train to catch scene where kinda salutes at spiderman

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7sWJ6Ps9MQg

Doubt it

Yeah probably not but it’s cool seeing the similarity

I want to be let down this way on my next date.

If i were in that situation id make a funny face and say "weeeeell wanna break the Geneva suggestion?"

Is this moldy memes or is my wifi shite

But, umm, it doesn’t make mustard gas? It does make a toxic gas that can kill you (chloramine) but my god, it’s not mustard gas!!!

Sorry, so many people get this wrong.

Signed, A chemist

jesse we need to cook

Nah that makes chloramine gas not mustard gas, that's bleach and vinegar

Wait Willem Defoe and Christian Bale worked together?

I am so happy that william dafoe is becoming a meme

This reminds me of my grandfather's father. He fought in the first world war, he use to tell his son stories about being attacked by mustard gases, and pepper spray, that's how he became a seasoned veteran.

I actually made that mistake in middle school. My father wanted me to clean the downstairs bathroom. I knew that bleach cleaned well. I knew that ammonia cleaned well. So, I thought they would clean extra well together. I never did get to find out how well it cleaned once it started to release chlorine gas.....

chloramine gas, not mustard but still definitely not fun

It’s not fucking mustard gas you dipshits

See that's the one thing I don't understand about that movie. What the hell happened to the investigator?

Can you confirm you arent a serial killer?

Well, now I know that.

Now you tell me

I was trying to mace cyanide but you need energy for that:(

Well…technically it’s Hydrogen Cyanide (AC) not mustard, but on the plus side it’s even more deadly.

But it doesn't create that either; it creates chloramine.

Don't you mix ammonia with something else to make chloroform

I’m CIA šŸ˜Ž

It's chlorine gas not mustard gas, there's a difference.

Edit: Chloramine, thanks man

Sigma tip#472 violate the Geneva convention

Honestly seems like something I’d accidentally

Sounds like you’ve been watching Below Deck Mediterranean.

Is it just me, or would Willem Dafoe make a good Joker?

Ammonia and bleach makes chloramine gas, try vinegar and bleach for actual chlorine gas ;)

Trolling gas

If my calculations are correct, this will create ice

When you wanna tell someone to kill themself, say "huff piss bleach" instead.

Now mix concentrated sulphuric acid with 32% hydrogen peroxide, that would be epic

Must've slipped my mind

American psycho is a movie

I didnt know thats how you make mustard! Ill be back guys, I need some mustard for my hotdogs later!

You told people to mix ammonia and bleach? Peggy, that's the recipe for mustard gas!

Silly me šŸ˜‹

My old girlfriend's dad did this as as janitor. He only got a lungful and now has similar problems to asthma. It's been years. Hell never heal

Mmmm mustard

And chloroform is rubbing alcohol and bleach I wonder what other wonderful things you can make with that spicy water

Gas the class

Great, another TikTok challenge. AT least this one will weed out the weak.

Bleach and rubbing alcohol makes chloroform

Whoopsie daisy

its not anyways

I mean, to think that you would mix the two, knowing what it would create would be too ridiculous… ain’t that right Patrick?

Silly me🤭

Hey, use pool chlorine instead of laundry bleach

It’s far stronger

Actually, that makes chloramine, not as deadly as phosgene and mustard gas

Yej

Noted

Battlefield 1

This makes mustard gas and rocket fuel which can lead to some funny things

Then the German student starts getting closer to the jewish student.
