#and i have film club

[finchers-ipad]

I watched ‘Fight Club’ with commentary from Chuck Palahniuk and Jim Uhls (screenwriter) and here are some of may favourite bits of information from it:

- the narrators condo was modelled after a condo Fincher used to live in

- Palahniuk owned the ying-yang table after the movie

- when Fincher first read the book he was so excited that we went to New York to pitch it to Pitt, and Brad Pitt was filming ‘Meet Joe Black’ at the time so Fincher sat on his door step until 1am and pitched him the role over a beer

- this is a direct quote from Palahniuk about their ‘post first fight sharing a beer scene’ “now this is so weird, drinking out of the same thing is like sort of a short hand for a love relationship in so many movies. um, that i couldn’t believe they were sharing a beer. it just seemed like such a powerful symbol, metaphor.” I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE!!!!

- at the publishing party for the book, one of Palahniuk’s friends had buttons made that said “I want to have Tyler Durden’s abortion”

- Direct quote from Palahniuk again “and it’s funny because there’s a whole undercurrent, like her alluding to him wearing the dress, her asking if it was a man or woman who kissed his hand. In a way she’s re enforcing this possible homoerotic thing on the side”

- Jim Uhls described the scene where the narrator beats up Angel Face as having “homosexual connotations”

Rhacktober Day 16: (Un)Happy Reunion || by @shinakazami1

You know when you're really lonely, so you build a body for an old friend and insert their AI into it only for that friend to actually want you dead because you literally ripped them out of you and left them in stasis for almost a decade? Yeah

In my brain there lies an AU of the total drama show in universe being censored and cut for time and TV ratings and that a decade later "Total Drama extended edition" comes out and its just like 20% more chaotic and gay then it already was

There needs to be an "Austen adjacent men" bracket. So many hotties in Austenland (and other properties I guess) and no way to rank them.

it may not be a full bracket but your wish is my command - here are some austen-adjacent men to vote on...

inch resting…?

In one of Vil’s Yasmina Silk lines, he reveals that he didn’t actually visit the Scalding Sands (which is why I guess he doesn’t have associated vignettes or involvement in the actual event story). Rather, Trey bought the outfit for him as a souvenir because apparently (this was never said anywhere else else before) Vil had expressed an interest in the fashion of that country. Vil tells him to stop it because Trey is “spoiling” him (as well as like, everyone else because he’s “too considerate”) 😂 but I guess that doesn’t actually help??

Okay, kind of weird??? I never thought of these two are particularly good enough friends to the point where one of them just buys the other a present for no particular occasion…? They definitely speak on polite terms in some vignettes, but I didn’t get the impression they were good friends. I also kind of understand Trey dumping extra cakes on others because he does it to everyone, but getting a whole outfit for Vil from a foreign country?? That’s not even a “considerate” thing to do, that seems like going above and beyond. I feel like you wouldn’t do that for anyone except a really good friend (especially since it’s mentioned that the fabric is pretty nice quality). If Trey wanted to get something wearable from the Scalding Sands for Vil, he could have just gone with a smaller accessory, no??? Not a whole outfit which costs… who knows how much?? I guess Trey was okay with just asking for an extra outfit (from the Asims)??

Maybe I should revisit those vignettes 😂 and sniff out their friendship…

a critique of white-collar work culture and the disillusionment of capitalism with surrealistic elements?

welcome back 1999!

Finally watched Brokeback Mountain, because Isa mentioned on twitter that it was Ghoap coded. It truly is.

Besides that, it's such a fantastic, powerful and important film. It should be in school curriculums to watch it and write a dissertation on it and the cultural problems (current and historical) it represents.

my brain is plagued with the thought of the narrator wearing glasses because of that ONE LINE in the book where he mentions having contacts. just imagine the narrator wearing these silly-ass glasses. I WOULD EAT THAT UP. tyler would LOVE the narrators glasses.

One thing about the 90s - 00s: they were gonna make a mother+daughter coming of age movie at least twice a year.

The “I hate my overbearing or eccentric & irresponsible mother” genre is slowing making a comeback and I couldn’t be happier

Occasionally have been seeing some people say that they actually did not like the Deadpool and Wolverine movie whatsoever and honestly I understand.

I feel like the movie is Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos with crack cocaine sprinkled on top served at a “strip club” (someone’s basement where it is the stripper version of an open mic, and they are dancing around those support beams like polls).

It’s really fucking out there and most people will only like parts of it, but hate the rest.

Some won’t like any of this and be confused as to why we love this shit show.
