Fight Club still confounds me after seeing it twice
It is confounding, in a way. It is unsettling and absurd, and maybe a little cliched (you know, that whole concept of introducing a split-personality case as two separate characters and all). But I loved its demented humor, and the vicious satire on American capitalism really struck a cord with me. Maybe I wouldn't have been able to appreciate that so much if I'd seen it when I still lived in Poland - maybe I wouldn't have understood what it was really all about. Now though, I felt like OMG that's IT, it's really that absurd and disgusting, and all we can do is laugh like maniacs at this sham of a "civilization" that has destroyed our souls. It just totally fit in with all the stuff I've been reading lately about various sick aspects of the American (and, by extension, global) society.:) I felt a strange sense of dark satisfaction at the sight of all those explosions at the end...;P
Hi I´m a guy who has a few gorgeous abs and a pretty mouth and aesthetical cheekbones and sort of want to get away with that and my manly mane.. and I´m cool too - look! I can make super!action and dramas and still not having to act at all because of mah lookz
LOL!!! That's pretty much the opinion I had of Brad when he was younger. He has matured professionally over the years, though. I think he was great in Crash, for example (with Cate Blanchett, who was also amazing). But I never considered myself a great fan, either. I liked him in Interview with the Vampire, because there was a little "gender-bending" involved with those languid looks and flowing hair...:P Not in Troy, though. There he looked (as my sister brilliantly pointed out) "like an elephant with the face of a toddler".;D
I was always a Depp!girl before switching onto Orliness..
Now see, Johnny Depp is super-cool, but somehow "he never got to me in that way".;) He's probably a better actor and a more interesting person than Brad, but when it comes to pure looks, I wouldn't pick him. Strange, because I generally consider dark-haired/dark-eyed people very much my type. But I should also probably add that most people I've been in love with were not my type at all.:D
I´m hilariously easy to distract.. I even distract myself all the time, see??
I've noticed.;P
I think I forgot parts of my brain somewhere. If you find it let me know.

If I do find it, I just might want to keep it.:D
