makeshyft Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Patrick Bateman or Alex DeLarge? Hmm... I'm going to have to go with Patrick Bateman. I was going to refrain from naming characters from book adaptations, and stick with characters created especially for the screen, but Durden is in there, so I figure it doesn't matter.
