Next up is a much requested film; Fight Club! I realize it's among the most discussed films on Youtube, and so I had shelved this project until I knew for certain I had something interesting to say about it. A while back, I finally found what I believe to be a fresh angle, and a relevant take on this now 20 year old film; I'm going to be focusing on the 'space monkeys' and explore the ironic phenomenon of being drawn towards a self-actualized and independent individual like Tyler Durden, only to become a blind follower. It's a phenomenon about which author Ernest Becker once wondered; "how can a mature man be so fascinated, and why?" and that is exactly what I'm going to try to answer.

I look forward to it. When it first came out, my son suggested I see it. I hadn't read the book, and frankly, it didn't sound like anything I would be remotely interested in. But, I saw it on his recommendation and loved it. I thought about it for days afterward, and still think of it from time to time and and have watched it again a couple of times, having bought the DVD. Your take will be most interesting to hear. :)

I am looking forward to this as well. It's been one of my top three movies for a long time in terms of making me think about things.
