Exfoliate Like a Psycho with Bateman Skincare Products
“My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave 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.”
To fans of the modern horror classic American Psycho, the above is but one of several memorable monologues uttered by lead character Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale). While the film itself does not 100% clarify whether Bateman’s murders were real or simply the fantasies of a man that had been mentally broken by his unfulfilling existence, one thing that isn’t really up for debate is that he is – at least on the surface level – an impeccably cool guy. He wears tailored suits, he drives fancy cars, he has a beautiful apartment, and he eats at only the finest restaurants. At least when a reservation to Dorsia is available.
Clearly seeking to capitalize on the outward marketability of Bateman’s persona is the company Bateman Skincare. While the Bateman Skincare product line does not appear to be officially tied to American Psycho, it is quite clearly inspired by the film, as one can see with even a cursory glance at their website.
The three products they currently sell are a Rose Hip + Seaweed Facial Cleanser, a Daily Hyaluronic Cream, and a Daily Hyaluronic Serum. I’m not entirely sure what all of those things are, but I assume Patrick would approve, as he’s far more sophisticated than I. Now if only there were a way to complete one’s psychical transformation into Bateman that didn’t require spending hours at the gym every day doing ab exercises.

Baffling Footage of “Time Traveler” Captured on Ring Cam
Some physicists think that time travel is possible and in a recent social media story we might believe them.
It all started when a homeowner named Alec Schaal checked his outside security camera remotely. He saw a young gentleman walking aimlessly around the yard seemingly looking for something. The trespassing individual with a backpack over his shoulder entered the homeowner’s tool shed and closed the door. It seemed like a simple case of unlawful intrusion. But as the homeowner reviewed the entire footage he noticed something strange and ended up calling the police.
It became a concern when the interloper never exited the shed. Worried, the homeowner had law enforcement check on the situation but the investigation turned up nothing: the stranger was nowhere to be found, he seemingly disappeared into thin air.
That would have been the end of it, but what happened next is even stranger.
The next day, someone who looks like the first guy emerges from the shed but he appears 30 years older!!
Since this weird story broke, Schaal’s TikTok has been blowing up and he has given several updates. Of course, some people are outright skeptical about the whole thing, while others want more proof which Schaal provides.
In the most recent update, Schaal says TikTok is trying to remove the story from his feed saying that it violates their guidelines about…gambling. He’s appealed but was declined.
Take a look at the videos for yourself and let us know what you think.
@alecschaal I’ve literally watched this 1 million times and he never leaves. Where did he go? 😭👀

‘Violent Night’ Director’s Next Project is a Shark Movie
Sony Pictures is getting in the water with director Tommy Wirkola for his next project; a shark movie. Although no plot details have been revealed, Variety confirms that the movie will start filming in Australia this summer.
Also confirmed is that actress Phoebe Dynevor is circling the project and is in talks to star. She is probably best known for her role as Daphne in the popular Netflix soap Bridgerton.
Duo Adam McKay and Kevin Messick (Don’t Look Up, Succession) will produce the new film.
Wirkola is from Norway and utilizes a lot of action in his horror films. One of his first films, Dead Snow (2009), about zombie Nazis, is a cult favorite, and his 2013 action-heavy Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is an entertaining distraction.
But 2022’s Christmas blood fest Violent Night starring David Harbour made wider audiences familiar with Wirkola. Coupled with favorable reviews and a great CinemaScore, the film became a Yuletide hit.
Insneider first reported this new shark project.
