American Psycho (2000)
From Amazon:
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fiancé (Reese Witherspoon).

Banging on about books, literature and writey stuff. Why can't he just watch the movie...?!? Goddamn columnists!) American Psycho...
