The hobo scene is just as awful in the movie as it is in the book. However, the movie does not include Bateman parading around his apartment with a decapitated head stuck onto his erection. Which is when I screamed out loud in horrified, disbelieving hysteria when I read the book. I will never, never get that scene out of my head! Nor are there melting eyeballs or lengthy descriptions of body processing in the movie. It's really nowhere near as graphic as the novel.

The scene where Bale just knocks it out of the fucking PARK was, I think, invented for the movie. He's losing it, being pursued by cops, not really sure if he's hallucinating or not (and neither is the audience), and he hides out in his office. He's hysterical, sweating, hiding from police helicopter searchlights behind his desk. He calls his lawyer and confesses to all his murders. "I ate...I ate some of their brains" he whispers into the phone, to the lawyer who doesn't even know who he is, because all the clones and their business cards look so much alike. Goosebumps, I"m telling ya. Bale rocks that scene.

(yeah, right there with hubby on the severing thing. Do. Not. Want.)
