The inhabitants of #gimp on the irc were talking about this movie and Lord of the Rings when I first joined there in 2001.
They mentioned that in the movie, the main character made soap. I told them (quite honestly) that I made soap. Then they explained what the soap in the movie was made of.
Yosh made sure that I saw this shortly after I arrived in Mountain View. I was astonished by the brutality and the message of the movie.
I wanted to see American Psycho since I had heard the business card design scene on the radio and really enjoyed it. They seem to be the same movie in many ways.
