Apologies if you're an 'American Psycho' fan and sprained your neck doing a double-take at the title. We did the same thing when we saw Bret Easton Ellis's name on Funny Or Die. The elite writer who chronicles the upper-crust's dark side also has a silly side? Well, it turns out he can nail silly. Ellis's popular novels are about vapid rich people doing horrible things: drugs, meaningless sex, serial murders, etc. While many of the stories have elements of humor, it is the kind of black comedy that is so realistic the audience almost forgets it's satire.
But not many of the adaptations of Ellis's works are very good. That's why this Funny Or Die spoof rings so true -- you can see the CW putting 'All That Glitters' in their line-up alongside 'Gossip Girl' and '90210.' However, unless Ellis falls on really hard times, it's doubtful you'll ever see him produce a TV series for any network beside HBO or Showtime. Watch the video, after the jump ...
