Connection with American Psycho

Hey all,

I was watching the 2000 film American Psycho and it struck me that Patrick Bateman's discussion of music, from Huey Lewis and the News to Whitney Houston, is eerily similar to York's discussion of films in the car. Thoughts? Do you think this character's in-depth analysis of music had any influence on York's dialogue or am I just crazy?

I think it's more broad quirkiness than inspiration from a character like Bateman. If anything it would be another inspiration from Twin Peaks, York speaking to Zach as an analog of Dale Cooper speaking to Diane.

Oh yeah, I realize that immediately, but I was just wondering if you think that this could also have been an influence on the specific way that york talks about films.

Well, to be fair, Patrick Bateman *did* kill someone with an axe while wearing a raincoat... XD
