Ahh, remember ‘American Psycho’

“I have to return some videotapes’. One of the single greatest exit lines in cinema history. ‘American Psycho’ introduced me to Christian Bale, and I haven’t looked back since.

The movie initially garnered an NC-17 rating and for those of you that have seen it, you can only image what it was before it was toned down to its current version. Apparently the sex scene between Bale and the two hookers was a little too racy, and they had to re-edit the film to get the R rating. Sadly the movie received this rating because of SEX and not the multiple violent death scenes..weird?

Christian Bale portrays Patrick Bateman, a wealthy New York business man, who doubles as a serial killer/music buff. Not being one to be out done, he sets off have the best apartment, nicest suits, and the greatest business card. When a fellow co-worker Paul Allen(Jared Leto) starts making him look bad, he decides that only way to resolve this issue is to kill him and several others along the way. The movie also features Willem Dafoe, Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, Chloà « Sevigny, and Stephen Bogaert.

The movie helped me understand how important it is to have a great business card, and ensuring I always returned my videotapes. Always remember those two important lessons.
