* {{Anvilicious}}: The message, along with the other stories by Creator/BretEastonEllis, is that these so-called "Cool" and "Sucsessful" rich people are shallow, sociopathic and empty people who waste their lives abusing drugs, alcohol, and not caring about others and that we should be nothing like them. The story isn't even remotely subtle about it.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: After Lauren passes out and awakens to find herself being raped by a "townie", the latter vomits all over her as he finishes. Mercifully, the film begins to rewind time just as he throws up on her, sparing the audience a disgusting sight.

Aside from needing to be put on its own separate page, the film telegraphs the woman's intent from the very beginning of the film. There are two scenes in quick succession of the woman staring longingly at Sean. It's easy to spot.
