You did not watch the movie.

I think you can make a reasonably cogent argument for the overtly male overtones as merely a way to explore a kind of existentialism: Nietzsche particularly slanting toward his Dionysian style. To be Edward Norton is to be of the slave morality, the "slave to the Ikea nesting instinct"; to be Brad Pitt to be of the master morality, to be "free in all the ways you are not". (And then one argues about whether the film condones existentialism, condemns it, or condemns those who confuse it for nihilism).

But admittedly I haven't watched Fight Club in some years, and that essay is a while behind me.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant, haha..ha.. sweats nervously

[SeiKeo]

Actually if we're going to be suggesting movies about how men sort of suck people should absolutely go watch Pain and Gain.

[Strife ❤️]

Looks naff.

[Seika]

No everyone should watch TV. And pay their TV licence.

There's something deeply freeing about getting the licence letter at your student digs and sending back the "no, we do not watch TV here" reply. Like, at home I don't pay for it, and here I don't pay for it, but here I get to actively not pay for it.

(Please don't worry: nothing illegal is happening. I genuinely don't watch TV).

[Seika]

No I mean she literally said she didn't.

Oh. Yes.

Well, that rather takes the wind out of my sails.

[Polly]

Oh. Yes.

Well, that rather takes the wind out of my sails.

That's what you get for being a bully

Strife call your bosses.

[Lace]

I watched it when I was 14, Leo is just condoning evil defamation

[SeiKeo]

Took me a while to watch it because from first hearing about it it seemed, you know, kind of a different thing.

If I wanted to pitch it to you I'd have said it was about the American conceit and its failures.

[2Bad]

Sita Sings the Blues is p good, although only partly about how dudes suck. Like, 60-70%.

Sounds great already.

[Lace]

Not that I expect anyone here to have thought about watching it - dont watch Pitch Perfect 2. Its terrible

[I3uster]

Today I read something about a movie called 100 Yen Love about a 30 year old deadbeat getting a job at a 100 yen store and learning boxing to reconnect with life and it sounds amazing

if only for the fact that im seeing myself in that situation in 10 so its good to prepare

[Strife ❤️]

100 Yen Club

[2Bad]

Sita Sings the Blues is free on yt btw
