Like people who like these might have a very basic taste in movies, but they are real movies made by real people. Not a collection of gifable moments smashed together by an algorithm and 35 focus groups.

Also the guy's favourite movie is American psycho, I feel like you can't be an American psycho guy and make fun of fight club guys.

    Maybe this guy just watched American Psycho and thought ol' Patty Bates was just a cool guy with good taste. He pointed at the screen like Leonardo DeCaprio and said "hey! I like to identify myself through consumption too!"

      I honestly do not get people who identify with Patrick Bateman. Like I know the cliche is that it's never subtle that the protagonist isn't meant to be idolized in movies like it, but here they make it painfully clear that he's a completely empty vessel and the only interesting thing about him is that maybe he's a psychotic serial killer (or he imagines to be one).

        Honestly, I think it's that he does stuff. In the second half of the move, he's indulging his id, he's got his blood pumping doing murders and sex and sex and murders. And who hasn't imagined putting a fire axe through their coworker's head now and again? These people don't notice that everyone calls Petro Bootman the wrong name, or that his interests are a complete parody of American consumption. He has money! sex! he does violence!
