Let’s Revisit: American Psycho, an Ego Brush for a Struggling Writer

It's a standing testament that American Psycho (2000) is one of my most favorite films of all time. Christian Bale, being one of my favorite actors of all time (A true Batman/Bruce Wayne) in my humble opinion. I'm still slowly, slowly, reading through the novel.

Content Warnings, yay or nay?

I'm not an easily startled person.
