movie log #1

today i had a can of monster and watched fight club like i’ve been meaning to for years. i actually had torrented it the other day before finding out the audio was FRENCH so i ended up postponing it. but it finally worked out! i can’t actually say i was paying full attention but i did look at the screen during most of the movie.  the opening sequence was so cool lol. i really liked the movie, and since i don’t normally watch films i was soooooo impressed by the 1 frame appearance of tyler right in the beginning like omg just like he does with pornography… amazing. edward norton’s voice is so grating i hated it but he was acting his ass off as an incel i respect it! i actually hated helena boham carter as marla lol she has no sex appeal and doesn’t convince me of someone crazy funnily enough, although the movie did seem to focus less on marla than the book. the book!!!! i still prefer it to the movie even though i havent finished, but i really will soon… i like palahniuk’s prose so much even if i can’t read most of his stuff because it makes me too uncomfortable lol. thats my review i guess. also the sound mixing of the movie was insane i loved it.

when are we gonna watch uncut gems/duke of burgundy!!! sorry i ended up watching shiva baby without you btw, but it was very good

anyway, i don't remember enough about the fight club movie to give specific responses but i do remember liking it... i watched it way before reading the book or any of palahniuk's work so it is the formative/definitive version to me haha. i kinda see what you mean about hbc as marla though, maybe i'm just used to seeing her in the tim burton typecast that it makes her feel out of place as like an insane hot girl even though fight club predates all of that anyway.

what are you planning to watch next?
