Them's Fighting Words

I bought the Fight Club DVD on a whim this weekend. I watched it in the middle of Saturday night—an awfully appropriate time, considering Edward Norton’s character is suffering from chronic insomnia, too.

It was an interesting movie. I’m not sure that I like it, but it did stir up some thoughts, and that’s always the mark of a good movie. Since there is a big plot twist and revealing details would spoil it, I won't go intoa synopsis of the movie. I certainly didn’t see the plot twist coming, but upon further inspection I’m surprised I didn’t notice the clues interspersed throughout.

I can’t say I identify with either Jack or Tyler. I don’t think I’m searching for meaning as much as i am regretting things I’ve already lost. I do feel good (if that’s the word) that I’ve got enough Tyler in me to not be as constrained as Jack. You know what? Watch the movie, and this entry won’t seem like a waste of bandwidth.
