Investment Banking, New York

Sure you are thinking in Patrick Bateman, can he be a personal reference? A small piece of the film script:

My name is Patrick Bateman.
I'm 27 years old.
I believe in taking care of myself,
in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine.
ln the morning, if my face is a little pufffy,
I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches.
I can do a thousand now.
After I remove the icepack, I use a deeppore cleanser lotion.
In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser.
Then a honey-almond bodyscrub.
And on the face, an exfoliating gelscrub.
Then I apply an herb mint facialmasque,
which lleave on forten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.
I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol,
because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older.
Then moisturizer,
then an anti-aging eye balm,
followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman.
Some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me.
Only an entity-- something illusory.
And though I can hide my cold gaze...
and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours...
and may be you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable,
I simply am not there.

BMW Films

Years ago, BMW created one of the most amazing marketing initiatives I have ever seen. BMW Films were a series of 8 films where the cars are shown as part of a incredible story. My favorites are clearly: Star (featuring Madonna), Chosen and Ticker.

It was in this films that I know one actor that become one of my favorite ones in the time: Clive Owen.

It seems that the actual cache of Clive has made BMW retired the BMW Films from their webpage. Damn it!!!!!

BTW, don’t miss Clive Owen role at Sin City, probably the best comic based film ever.
