If I did have a tumor, I'd name it Marla.

I watched fight club for the first time in 10 years recently. I’ll tell you that movie hits different when you’re 20, 30 or 40. I remember in my 20s it all seemed so cool and badass, now that I’m 40 I see now that they’re a bunch of incel losers with toxic masculinity and a lack of self awareness.
They are a bunch of losers, but their plights are very legitimate. That's how a charismatic cult leader swoops in and radicalises them.
We have a number of real world examples of that. The most current one being Andrew Tate.

The whole thing.
What nation? Act as what? What is that Wortspiel ftw thing supposed to mean with that formating?
You seem to already have lost your sanity because this reads like something you find written in feces on a asylum wall.
Ohhh, you are an asshole. My bad. You can kindly fuck off now, cupcake.

- crass*, FFS. (and too*, while I'm at it)
- If by "cut", you mean "not included", then that's a whole other can of worms re: your comprehension of this shared reality we live in.

Middle school is also grade school.
Generally not understood as such though. I would say common vernacular is more accurate to the intended meaning than the technical truth

Sounds kind of like projection..

She's probably real in the novel as well, but I don't think you can definitively say it's an impossible interpretation in either.
It's a bit more clear in the novel for a few reasons but you can still wave away a lot of the points against it simply by pointing to how extremely unreliable the Narrator is.
In Fight Club 2 the main character is medicated and living with Marla. She is real. I think they even have kids by Fight Club 3. I stopped reading by then.

I went to one school, K through 8. Called it grade school. But it was a private Lutheran church school.
I think it depends on if you are talking private or public schools.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Sure, but my point was general consensus. For the purposes of this discussion, I'll use the US. According to Pew (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/06/06/us-public-private-and-charter-schools-in-5-charts/) 83% of k-12 students went to public schools. Many of our parents couldn't afford to send it to private if they wanted to.
This of course varies by country, googling for a few countries (Japan, UK, Germany) actually all betrayed my expectations,with higher public school percentages for primary schools than the US. They generally do have different grade structures though. Edit: for those 3, primary/grade school went to 4th or 6th grade.
Personally elementary/grade school was up to 5th grade, 6-8th was middle, 9-12 high school. Technically I started school in Saint Vincent, in what I believe was a private school, but we moved back to the US when I was in 2nd grade going to third.

The original "pillow talk"-scene had Marla saying "I want to have your abortion". When this was objected to by Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin, David Fincher said he would change it on the proviso that the new line couldn't be cut. Ziskin agreed and Fincher wrote the replacement line, "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school". When Ziskin saw the new line, she was even more outraged and asked for the original line to be put back, but, as per their deal, Fincher refused.
Also, the actress didn't know grade school in the US is 6-12 years old as she is from outside the US. She didn't find out until afterwards and was very unhappy about saying it.
why? she's an actress ffs

The point was to not worship these people. The point was driven better in the book, the movie was more anti-capitalist than the book.

Chuck P was a gay man. The movie takes the homoeroticism to levels that would have been laughable if Palahnuik had written them.
Why does the narrator ignore Marla? BECAUSE HES GAY
