Cool seems like a great thing to be and have, but it is also a place of separation from so much. We have to give up, or "hit bottom" as Tyler would say, if we ever want to truly find it.<br /><br />Hope you keep blogging now even though no one is forcing you!fjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827891221669580321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336649512006385402.post-7184106689085602422009-05-06T14:26:00.000-07:002009-05-06T14:26:00.000-07:00I actually think that movies like Mean Girls and 1...I actually think that movies like Mean Girls and 17 Again may be more successful in trying to get their point across. Satire is good and clever, but sometimes the entire point of what the director is REALLY trying to say is lost behind the satire itself.Anna Aldersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204136671300525263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336649512006385402.post-9887368965206412222009-05-05T21:37:00.000-07:002009-05-05T21:37:00.000-07:00I think it is interesting that you were able to co...I think it is interesting that you were able to compare Fight Club to two films directed at teenage girls. Mean Girls is one of my favorites, and I must agree that the grass isn't greener is present in both films. Can simple comedy like in Mean Girls get accomplish the same thing as satire in films like Fight Club and Robocop?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959766801384039672noreply@blogger.com
