The Rules of Attraction Community

I know this community hasn't been updated in two years but if there's anybody out there reading I greatly need publicity photos of the suicide scene. These are NOT screencaps from the movie but shots of Shannon topless kneeling and crouching over the food service girl's corpse. They were posted here years ago but I can't seem to find them.

I need these for an art project I'm doing.

Fuck you, Bateman!

i made some rules of attraction gifs!

Does anybody have the one "iteaser" with the snippet of  Casper Van Dien playing Patrick Bateman in it? I have wanted to see this for some time now. Thanks!

I'm sure a lot of people are curious about this, but does anyone have the version of Donovan's "Colours" used in the film?

I bought the soundtrack a while ago, and was annoyed that the version on the CD isn't the same one as in the movie. The one on the album is 2:44 long, while the version from the film is a little over four minutes. I've been trying to find it online, but I guess it's out of print, and none of the converter sites I've previously used to convert audio from YouTube clips seem to work.

can someone upload the harry nilsson song?

so i was wondering if someone knew the songs from the movie. i found a few on an itunes imix but there was only like 6 and there was WAY more in the movie. 

PLEASE AND THANK YOU :]]

Holy crap - that's right. Someone actually posted the the Camden College community.

My questions are related to "The Rules of Attraction" directed by Roger Avary - not the book by Bret. I know that might be blasphemey to some of you, but I want to keep the "READ THE BOOK" comments to a minimum. To start off, I have read the book several times and just wanted to get some feedback on Avary's interpretation of it.

In your opinion...

...does Sean have ultimately sex with Jamie (Kate Bosworth), or does he drive off on his bike?

...does Paul hook up with the hot guy who ends up coming out later on in life, or does he talk with Lauren outside?

...does Lauren get raped by the townie, or is she outside talking with Paul?

In other words, in your opinion, which version is the actual reality of the party?

I've made a music video to the film. Feedback is very welcome. :)

Trivia for The Rules of Attraction (2002):

Sean Bateman, the character played by James Van Der Beek, is the younger brother of the infamous Patrick Bateman, the main character of American Psycho (2000), a film also based on a novel by Bret Easton Ellis.

Bret Easton Ellis, author of the novel on which the film is based, revealed in an interview that director Roger Avary asked him to play the role of Patrick Bateman in the film after Christian Bale, who portrayed Patrick in the film adaptation of American Psycho (2000), turned down Avary's offer to return as Patrick. Ellis also turned him down, saying that he thought it was "such a terrible and gimmicky idea". The scenes with Patrick were eventually shot with Casper Van Dien playing the role, but they were cut from the film.

Christina Ricci turned down an offer to play the character of Lauren Hynde.

Christian Bale turned down an offer to reprise the role of Patrick Bateman.

The trailer for the movie bears a striking resemblance to the theatrical trailer for Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971). Both trailers feature short clips from the movie being intermixed with nouns and adjectives describing the movie (printed as big bold white text on black background), while classical music plays in the background.

The movie that the film student refers to when talking to Lauren at the beginning of the film is Killing Zoe (1994), directed by Roger Avary; it also stars Eric Stoltz, who plays Mr. Lawson in this movie.

This film was edited using Apple's (relatively) inexpensive "Final Cut Pro" software on Macintosh computers to reduce costs.

The radio station that awakens Sean is "WTNA". The music supervisors of the movie are Tom Hajdu and Andy Milburn (tomandandy); the radio DJ's are also named "Tom" and "Andy"

At the Edge of the world party, Candace is wearing a "Tomandandy" T-Shirt, the name of the music supervisors.

In the hospital, a "Dr. Shapiro" is paged over the intercom. Greg Shapiro is the movie's producer.

The song which Sean sings that "segues into Counting Crows" is "Anna Begins", from the 1993 album "August And Everything After".

Casper Van Dien shot two scenes on the phone to James Van Der Beek as Patrick Bateman. They were edited out due to content and film time.

The marker board on Victor's door when Lauren goes to see him reads, "Victor, Tests came back positive. Be careful."

"The End of the World" party scene was filmed on 11 September 2001.

The film on mute in Fred Savage's room is _Kabinett des Doktor Caligari, Das (1920)_
