I know that it's supposed to be a high school boys' cult classic movie, but right now I'm enjoying FIGHT CLUB. Fighting other men to prove that you're still a man? Taking out your anger against your boss by beating yourself up? Handing out assignments to keep others bad-ass? To me, it sounds like a pretty cool male adventure. Of course, Matt and Drew say that it gets way more violent and a bit more eccentric, so I can't yet say that I love the film yet.
And who the heck is Jack? I must have missed that somewhere along the way....
I also think that the movie makes a good point about happiness and fulfillment in life. You don't have to hold a gun to your head to find a reason to live, but I do think that desperation and hard times can make a person appreciate the good times. But that's just my opinion.
ALSO, I'm starting to seriously think that almost all guys should join the military after high school. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that the military has a way of letting guys have adventures and teaching them to be men. I know that it's not for everyone, but I know a few people that it would be useful for.
Anyway, this is a boring blog. I've had very little sleep this week and will have less as the weekend progresses. But I'm not complaining. This has been a great summer so far.

...I'm always wary and with my "what the hell?" face when a girl expresses approval or admiration of this film. I've seen my fair share of guy films (Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers) and masculine films (Taxidriver, Unbreakable, Reservoir Dogs) but I feel that, in a lot of ways, Fight Club is the most MALE film... so...listen lady, who the heck do you think you are?
Hahaha! But really, the various speeches by Tyler are directed toward the male half of the generation; it's a totally different story for females.
Jack is the guy whose organs are speaking in the earlier part of the film. Edward Norton's character had found a stack of old essays that spoke from the organ's POV. "I am Jack's spleen..." etc.
