This is more psychotic than any of the dialogue in American Psycho.

I feel like the author wanted me to get bored by the over the top depravity and violence as part of the feel of the book and the characters mindset.
On the plus side, it was an effective technique that worked and added to the character of the book.
On the downside, it worked and made the later parts of the book obscenely tedious.

Probably a little bit at least, because Christian Bale is Welsh.

You like Huey Lewis And The News?

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.
