  1. Tony Montana was not just a minority in the movie itself, he was basically an illegal immigrant who had enough balls to come to a place like America and grab it by the balls, take over his own industry of choice and die as the King. But yeah it's a rags to riches story and I think that why it resonates so much with people who aren't white, but don't get me wrong cause it's not like white people don't watch it either. I certainly did. But I can see why it has so much appeal to people in the hood. It's a rags to riches story done right.

  2. I've never heard that but that might be the most spot on brilliant analysis of Fight Club I've ever read. Back when I used to deliver pizzas, I lent it to one of the drivers who was Puerto Rican saying it was my favorite movie of all time, bar none (and it's still in my top 5) but he was like "bro why would anyone want to do something like that?" I just hope he and his family didn't gather round for a nice uplifting family movie or something cause that's absolutely 100% what they didn't get. He was a dick anyway, though. Fuck that guy. lol but yeah anyone who isn't prepared to bring their brain to the table isn't gonna truly enjoy it. Fight Club is the kind of movie you need to watch at least twice for it to mean anything to you. I've seen it like 100 times if not more, especially during college, and I even wrote about it in philosophy classes I was taking as well (there's a literal gold mine of things to write about when it comes to Fight Club -- a literal cornucopia of philosophical ideas)

  3. I had no idea he was gay until recently. Now I guess I have to go gay so I can have a chance. He was also in the news recently, apparently he's suing his publisher or someone who basically has been stealing money from him for years and apparently he doesn't even have the money to take them to court anymore. Not easily anyway. That's so messed up, to any aspiring writers out there be careful who you do business with...
