My ex who had the nerve to run off with £10.000 of my money after setting up dozens of credit cards in my name and running up almost as much on them.
It was amusing to watch American Psycho and discover that he not only had the same taste in music but also the same Global knife set as Patrick Bateman.
I don't mean to be dense (it just comes naturally). I get the running off with tons of money and leaving you with an equal amount of dept part.
However, are you also saying that since he was so similar to the film character it proves you had said goodbye to and (fortunately) dodged a psycho?
Because I gotta tell you man, if someone jumped ship with that much of my dough then left me thousands in dept for things I didn't own, being reminded of it would never be amusing.
*edit*
I've never seen American Psycho, but being a fan of Bale and seeing what he can do with out of the ordinary characters, I may need to remedy that.
Well nobody is perfect, nobody is perfectly bad, there was a lot of good and there was a lot of bad that only came out after the event.
It was a dark time and messy time but looking back at it with humour puts a bit of perspective on it.
American Psycho the film is worth a watch, it's certainly more palatable than the novel which I wouldn't recommend to anyone (it's well written but it really gets under your skin in a nasty, nasty way).
The film is evocative of the time and the toned down (though still appropriately unpleasant) violence is balanced out by dark humour.
