Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 satirical novel about the lack of morality on Wall Street in the 1980s features Christian Bale as the young Yuppie who goes to work and, apparently, does nothing but watch TV, make dinner reservations, and listen to pop ballads. It is the nighttime scene at which he excels: macabre acts of sex, violence, and murder.
