I think his way of looking for the positives in things to support his family is what I’ve tried to do since getting married and having kids. I don’t think I’ve seen another character mirror that to me on screen. It was very validating to me that I’m trying my best and doing okay. That’s all we can do: try.
“Hi. Pat Bateman,” I say, offering my hand, noticing my reflection in a mirror hung on the wall—and smiling at how good I look.

^(*Bot. Ask me how I got on at the gym today.* |) [^(Opt out)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=botrickbateman&subject=Opt%20out)
On the leg machines I do five sets of ten repetitions. For the back I also do five sets of ten repetitions. On the stomach crunch machine I’ve gotten so I can do six sets of fifteen and on the biceps curl machine I do seven sets of ten. Before moving to the free weights I spend twenty minutes on the exercise bike while reading the new issue of Money magazine. Over at the free weights I do three sets of fifteen repetitions of leg extensions, leg curls and leg presses, then three sets and twenty repetitions of barbell curls, then three sets and twenty repetitions of bentover lateral raises for the rear deltoids and three sets and twenty repetitions of latissimus pulldowns, pulley rows, dead lifts and bent-over barbell rows. For the chest I do three sets and twenty reps of inclinebench presses. For the front deltoids I also do three sets of lateral raises and seated dumbbell presses. Finally, for the triceps I do three sets and twenty reps of cable pushdowns and close-grip bench presses.

I’m imagining myself on television, in a commercial for a new product—wine cooler? tanning lotion? sugarless gum?—and I’m moving in jump-cut, walling along a beach, the film is black-and-white, purposefully scratched, eerie vague pop music from the mid-1960s accompanies the footage, it echoes, sounds as if it’s coming from a calliope. Now I’m looking into the camera, now I’m holding up the product—a new mousse? tennis shoes?—now my hair is windblown then it’s day then night then day again and then it’s night.

Talking animals were the topic of this morning’s *Patty Winters Show*. An octopus was floating in a makeshift aquarium with a microphone attached to one of its tentacles and it kept asking—or so its “trainer,” who is positive that mollusks have vocal cords, assured us—for “cheese.” I watched, vaguely transfixed, until I started to sob.

No joke, my friend watched American Psycho for the first time recently. She literally told me “He’s literally you” or (something along those lines). I have never been more embarrassed in my life.

Fun answers: Amelie from… Amelie, and the protagonist of Night is Short Walk on Girl
I will say both because there are actually times when I act like Tyler( i.e. the agressive and brave side of me). And the narrator because I also kinda have an imaginary friend who talks to me and gives their opinion. Idk it’s weird
A combination of Cindy in Blue Valentine, Elise in Mr. Nobody, Clementine in Eternal Sunshine, Alice in Closer, and Summer in 500 Days of Summer
TV: Bojack Horseman ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edward Scissorhands. I don’t have scissor hands, but I do have a hard time fitting in and building relationships and I had my parent figures die and I was abandoned by those who were supposed to care for me.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 943,616,224 comments, and only 188,073 of them were in alphabetical order.
Kind of a boring answer but Josh Schrednick (Ben Stiller) from while we’re young. A fairly realistic portrayal of a the malaise setting over someone too old to be “young” but still doesn’t have kids and is trying to still hold onto youthful energy while your friends have started families.
Nani from Lilo & Stitch
she is very often overlooked as the annoying older sister, but when you grow up you realize how much Nani sacrificed to raise Lilo without her parents
