In a slightly less obvious use of pop culture and the neighborhood council today, I posted on my facebook status another quote from Fight Club only this time 2 people got it it. Unfortunately nobody from the NC got it. One person actually said he agreed with my comment. Goes to show Chuck Palaniuks writing is transgenerational.
I wrote: “Going to neighborhood council meeting tonight. Its cheaper than a movie and there’s free food.” Of course Marla Singer says this when shes talking about support groups when she says: “Its cheaper than a movie and there’s free coffee.”
Since I work at a community center at night I can confirm, there IS free coffee and judging by some of the characters that show up, it must be entertaining. I guess that depends on the movie right? I mean, a support group like ‘Sex Addicts Anonymous’ is infinitely more entertaining than a movie like… say… Gallipoli.
Speaking of Fight Club, I noticed that even though I don’t like Brad Pitt, I have a lot of his movies and like even more of his movies. For example, I own Fight Club (obviously) 12 Monkeys, Inglorious Basterds and Se7ven. I also really like Oceans 11, 12 & 13, Seven Years in Tibet, Sleepers, Interview with a Vampire and A River Runs Through It. Maybe I should reevaluate my position on him.
