'On a long enough time line the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.'
So quoth Tyler Durden in Fight Club. Tyler Durden, the truly inspirational brainchild of Chuck Palahniuk, tossed off little insights into human nature that stuck with me in a way that most pop-culture brilliantly fails to do.
'It's only after we've lost everything that were free to do anything.'
'It could be worse. A woman could cut off your penis while you're sleeping and toss it out the window of a moving car.'
'Hey, even the Mona Lisa's falling apart.'
'With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels.'
'I flipped through catalogs and wondered: What kind of dining set defines me as a person?'
Brilliantly written and flawlessly exicuted my Mr. Pitt and Mr. Norton.
Anyway... Mr Palahniuk wrote another book thats currently under production as a major motion picture. It's called 'Choke', and looks simply fantastic. Check it out.

If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, [...] the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire. ~ Winston Churchill
Yeah, its kinda like that.
'When I was a kid I used to spend summers on my uncle's farm. And he had this plow horse he used to work with everyday. He really loved that plow horse. One summer she came up lame. It could barely stand. The vet offered to put her down. You know what my uncle said?' [...] 'He said, why would I ask somebody else to kill a horse that belonged to me?' ~ Rob Redford in 'Spy Game'
There are only two real tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want. The other is getting it. ~ Nick Cage in 'Lord Of War'

Kind of wondered why it took so long for someone to pick that up as a film plot. (I also wonder how many people will start flocking to nymphomaniac recovery meetings after seeing it...)
