"On first appearance, Bateman exemplifies the image of the successful Manhattan executive; he is well-educated, wealthy, popular with women, abreast of cultural trends, belongs to a prominent family, has a high-paying job and lives in an upscale, chic apartment complex. Bateman passes for a refined, intelligent, thoughtful young man, but is in reality a violent sociopath who tortures and murders people, rapes several women, cannibalizes his victims, and has sex with corpses. Bateman uses personal limousines to search for suitable victims in the streets.

Bateman is extremely style-conscious, and appears an expert in fashion and high-end consumer products. In his narrative, he obsessively describes his and other people's possessions in exhaustive detail, focusing particularly on attire, and even noting articles like pens, and pocket squares. He has a general tendency to pay more heed to the designer, place of purchase, and style of the items he describes, often ignoring the textile type or color. Bateman incisively answers his friends' and co-workers' queries, authoritatively explicating the difference between various types of mineral water, which tie knot is less bulky than a Windsor knot, and the proper way to wear a cummerbund, pocket square, and tie bar.

Bateman's employment at Pierce & Pierce is apparently unnecessary. His father owns another successful company, which is revealed during a conversation between Patrick and his ex-girlfriend when she inquires as to why he would work at P&P. Upon questioning, the sole justification for still working is, in his own words, "I... want... to... fit... in." Because he doesn't need to work, he is supreme in his own world; he usually comes to work late — sometimes by more than an hour — and indulges in long lunches. Despite these advantages, Bateman's envy of his peers runs throughout the novel. In a scene in which characters compare business cards, Bateman panics when he realizes a friend's card is better than his because of its stylish superiority. Just as Bateman is obsessed with wealth and symbols of it, he repeatedly expresses a converse loathing of poor people."

An almost perfect summary of what MARK ROCKEFELLER was all about...and the top ill...look at all of the websites/new BLOGS OF NOTE that he put together...all about the above CONSUMERIST PASSIONS interlocked with the BON cult, eating babies, cannibalism, torture and murder...see previous notes upon that TADCO woman as well...her desire to present an idyllic 'poor' lifestyle (in relation to her own) which wasn't in the slightest bit, like her own 'horror lifestyle'...and so used MARK R's GREEN TOWER team, to create one for her...

I haven't seen the movie...the actor looks like he was choesn to look like GILL...but GILL was kept on a pittance, like the rest of us...milked like a cow and in so many ways...

I guess if you had chosen an actor who looked like MARK R, (A) that would have given the game away (B) all men who looked like him would have probably been lynched because nobody would want the lifestyle of somebody who looked like that and they would have turned upon those who 'looked like that'...a lot of lessons to be learnt from this can of worms then...about how 'good looks' can be used to lure people into obscene idol worship...and i suppose that TOMLINSON would be a case in point...
