hes not a serial killer..... *whistles away*



Hate to spoil it further... but he most definitely was a serial killer.  You missed the point.

*Spoiler*

The point was (as was better illustrated in the novel than the film) that these businessmen were so shallow and self-centered.  He did kill those people.  But remember the recurring theme of everyone not remembering eachother's name?  For instance when he kills Jared Leto's character, and later on someone says that they had eaten lunch with Leto's character the other day, so he couldn't be dead.  Well... he was dead.  He just didn't know who the hell he was eating lunch with.  These people are so inconsequential and self-centered as that they don't remember anything that doesn't immediately benefit them.  That's why Bateman was able to kill all those people and have everyone tell him he didn't kill anyone.  No one remembered, you see.

*End of Spoiler*

Anycase, great film and book.  And the Genesis quote was a riot.


Oh, this is my first post by the way.  So, hello everyone.
