Why Patrick Bateman Is A Great Character

There is no other character that I can think of that is quite like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. Originally from the book "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis, Patrick Bateman is not your typical Wall Street worker. Patrick's activities include working out, renting videos, going out to eat at fancy high class restaurants (except for Dorsia), working, and brutally slaughtering people. Who would figure that a man who works on wall street is so bored with his life of excess that he has to kill people to be happy? This is part of the reasons why Patrick is an interesting character. Another thing is that no one catches on, no one even cares. People confuse Patrick with other people and he just goes along with it and acts as if he is these other people. He is a mixture of Gordon Gekko and Ted Bundy. This why he is a great character. He is not ordinary. He does more than what his stereotype would make it seem like he does. Because of this, he is a great character. On Empire's list of 100 greatest characters, no one is like him. Sure, there are killers and greedy individuals but no one is quite as sinister as he is. The way Christian Bale portrayed him is another reason why he is a great character. He was sarcastic, intelligent, suave, and demented. He portrayed him in a way other people considered for the role cannot. These people are Leonardo Dicaprio, Edward Norton, and Brad Pitt. I do not think any of them could have done the role quite like Bale. That is why I think his portrayal added to the greatest of the character. Patrick Bateman is just an original creation. He has everything I feel makes a great character.

Rant about Terminator: Salvation

I'm going to make this brief. I've been seeing people complaining about Arnold not being in this (even though he has a brief cameo from what I hear). Whoever is bitching about this is a mongoloid. The Terminator series has more to it then Arnold. This is what makes it one of the best ever. Now we get to learn about Kyle Reese's orgins and John Connor's prominence in the fight. This is what all the other Terminator movies have been leading up to. If they gave Arnold a big part it'd be lame as anything. He is not needed in this because this is a new chapter of the story that will lead to the first one. Think a little bit. I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't give an opinion on the movie itself. Seriously, come on now. Quit being stupid.

Eternal Sunshine

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind....... That movie just takes you into another world and keeps you there for about 2 hours. That's when you know a movie is good. When I first of Jim Carrey I thought "I don't know about this". Whenever he popped into my mind I thought of his goofball characters such as The Mask and Ace Ventura. Surprisingly to me he played the part of Joel Barish very well. I was impressed. I could not picture anyone playign Joel but him. I got the will to watch it while listening to Circa Survive. I got into the band and read that they have an excessive amount of references to the film. Therefore, I ordered it off On Demand and for the next 2 hours I was glued to the television. It's one of those movies I wish lasted as long as I'd like them to. I wanted more. I am in love with this movie.
