Fight Club

I saw Fight Club again last night (or should I say this morning). It was cool the first time, but the second time is actually better because I knew the twist at the end and I could see it coming the whole way through. I like movies like Fight Club and Memento because I actually get more out of them the second time around. I catch more of the quirky hidden stuff. This time I actually caught the spliced in frame in the very last scene where Jack/Tyler and Marla are holding hands watching the skyline implode. Not that I really wanted to see that, but it was clever. Also, reading the Hobbes connection beforehand made seeing the movie even cooler in a strange sort of way. (I got that link from someone else's blog...see comment to "Playing for my supper")
My train to Wenatchee arrives in about 15 minutes, so I should probably head off to the station.

Fight club is an awesome movie. I really recommend the book. Especially now that you know the twist and know the hobbes connection. The book is slightly different from the movie but it's really good. Also read Choke by the same author. I'm sure I have sung the praises of these books before, but oh well.
