A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I watched fight club for the first time in 10 years recently. I’ll tell you that movie hits different when you’re 20, 30 or 40. I remember in my 20s it all seemed so cool and badass, now that I’m 40 I see now that they’re a bunch of incel losers with toxic masculinity and a lack of self awareness.
Chuck P was a gay man. The movie takes the homoeroticism to levels that would have been laughable if Palahnuik had written them.
Why does the narrator ignore Marla? BECAUSE HES GAY
The point was to not worship these people. The point was driven better in the book, the movie was more anti-capitalist than the book.
They are a bunch of losers, but their plights are very legitimate. That's how a charismatic cult leader swoops in and radicalises them.
We have a number of real world examples of that. The most current one being Andrew Tate.
It would funnier if he disappeared.
Nah, Marla was real. PM members physically brought her to Jack at the end. Even PM wouldn't be able to pull off bringing an alter ego to Jack, she must be real.
Also, in the film the thrift store cashier LOOKS at Marla during the conversation.
She's probably real in the novel as well, but I don't think you can definitively say it's an impossible interpretation in either.
It's a bit more clear in the novel for a few reasons but you can still wave away a lot of the points against it simply by pointing to how extremely unreliable the Narrator is.
