...soundtrack to American Psycho touts itself as from the "controversial motion picture." And upon listening, several "controversial" traits are clear: the soundtrack is just as pretentious and just as mildly unsuccessful as the movie. This is not to say that some of the cuts are not appealing. Dope's industrial punk version of Dead or Alive's '80s classic "You Spin Me Round" and New Wave classics from Information Society ("What's On Your Mind") and New Order ("True Faith") are great the first couple of times around.

His marriage of many years cracks apart, and he handles it maladroitly, announcing the breakup to the world without bothering to tell his wife that the marriage is over. His affair with another woman becomes a feast for tabloids. The private Rudy seems to shriek confirmation of his enemies' suspicions about the public Rudy...
...Saving and patience. Gore's plan is to stay the course Clinton set out but never quite got to embark upon. He wants to use the surplus the fund is currently running to pay down the national debt over the next decade or so, putting the economy on sounder footing and freeing up more money (which now goes to debt servicing) to keep the fund going a while longer.
