American Psycho (film) essays are academic essays for citation. These papers were written primarily by students and provide critical analysis of American Psycho (film) by Mary Harron. Abject Addictions: A Neoliberal Nightmare in American Psycho and Trainspotting; Predator and Prey Themes in American Psycho and The Strange Case of Dr. The card we're referencing is, of course, Paul Allen’s Pierce & Pierce business card from the 2000 horror/thriller film, American Psycho. We’re going to take a closer look at the design of this simple business card, along with the other four cards featured in the film, and try to distill why it remains such a popular and beloved card. Patrick Bateman is a sensible man. I mean aside from his psychotic episodes, his obscure bedroom tendencies and his occasional murders. OK, so maybe he’s a complete lunatic, but he does know what he’s doing when it comes to his skincare routine.
confident, dressed in the height of late-eighties style:
pouffy Lacroix dresses, slinky Alaïa, Armanipower suits.
CLOSE-UP on a WAITERreading out the specials.
WAITER:
With goat cheeseprofiteroles and I also have an arugula
Caesar salad. For entrées tonight I have a swordfish
meatloaf with onion marmalade, a rare-roasted partridge

Huge whiteporcelainplatesdescend on very pale pink linen
table cloths. Each of the entrees is a rectangleabout four
inches square and look exactly alike.
CLOSE-UP on variousdiners as we hear fragments of
conversation. 'Is that CharlieSheen over there?' 'Excuse
me? I orderedcactus pear sorbet.'
WAITER:
And grilled free-range rabbit with herbedFrench fries. Our
pasta tonight is a squidravioli in a lemongrass broth...

PATRICK BATEMAN, TIMOTHY PRICE, CRAIGMCDERMOTT and DAVID
VAN PATTEN are at a table set for four. They are all wearing
expensively cut suits and suspenders and have slicked-back
hair. Van Pattenwears horn-rimmed glasses.
The cameramoves in on Bateman as his narration begins:
BATEMAN (V.O.)
We're sitting in Pastels, this nouvelleNorthern California
place on the Upper East Side.
The Waiter sets down platescontaining tiny, elaborately
decorated starters. As he does so we hear Bateman's
description of each of the men at the table.
BATEMAN (V.O.)
You'll notice that my friends and I all look and behave in
a remarkablysimilar fashion, but there are subtle differences
between us. McDermott is the biggest a**hole. Van
Patten is the yes man. Price is the most wired. I'm the
best looking. We all have light tans. Right now I'm in a
bad mood because this is not a good table, and Van Patten
keeps asking dumb, obviousquestionsabout how to dress .
VAN PATTEN:
What are the rules for a sweater vest?
McDERMOTT
What do you mean?
PRICE:
Yes. Clarify.
McDERMOTT
Well, is it strictly informal-
BATEMAN:
Or can it be worn with a suit?
McDERMOTT
(Smiling)
Exactly
BATEMAN:
With discreetpinstripes you should wear a subdued blue or
charcoal gray vest. A plaid suit would cal I for a bolder
vest.
McDERMOTT
But avoidmatching the vest's pattern with your socks or
tie. Wearingargylesocks with an argyle vest will look
too studied.
VAN PATTEN:
You think so?
PRICE:
You'll look like you consciouslyworked for the look.
VAN PATTEN:
Good point. Excuse me, gentlemen.
Van Pattenleaves the table. As he does so, a busboy
discreetly removestheirlargelyuntouched plates.
BATEMAN:
Van Pattenlooks puffy. Has he stoppedworking out?
PRICE:
It looks that way, doesn't it?
McDERMOTT
(Staring at retreating waiter)
Did he just take our plates away?
PRICE:
He took them away because the portions are so small he
probably thought we were finished. God, I hate this place.
This is a chicks' restaurant. Why aren't we at Dorsia?
American Psycho (2000 Script)
McDERMOTT
Because Bateman won't give the maitre d' head.
(He guffaws)
Bateman throws a swizzlestick at him.
McDermott scans the room, settling on a handsomeyoung man
with slicked-back hair and horn-rimmed glasses.

Is that Reed Robinson over there?
PRICE:
Are you freebasing or what? That's not Robinson.
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram. It seems logical because Marcus also works at P&P and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses. Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut.
