Highbrow question: Chuck Palahniuk

Anybody go to his reading last weekend?

I was there natch, taught the cunt everything he knows.

Assumed he would attract other like-minded cliquey, pretentious, intellectual bullies with bad hair cuts...no ?

obviously im not as pretentously intellectual than i thought.

i had to google him.

Snap.

Oooh, 'cause Fight Club is a reet intelligent film? Dearie me. The book is bound to be similar macho shit.



NB: I've not seen Fight Club, and you couldn't pay me enough to entertain such populist shit. Watch "Pierrot Le Fou" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059592/ ) if you want pretension. this film also stars the coolest man to ever walk the earth, Jean-Paul Belmondo.

What he said

Apart from the bit about the French film obviously - I'm not totally gay

EDIT

Having said that - Toots did make me a very nice copy of Le Salaire de la Peur (Wages of Fear) with Yves Montand last week.

I dunno how she met him like.

Ooof, still too macho immo. Try some Aki Kaurismäki, can thoroughly recommend this:

The "place" where I get all my films from has died, hopefully they are starting a new one though. It better be soon cause these are all I have left to watch:

Dearie me, it's obvious you haven't seen Fight Club (or read it). It's not populist violent "shit". It's an allegory, fuckwit.

And the cunt has written several other books. And he did throw inflatable male and female dolls into the audience on Saturday night. Which should have been enough to get you and Sev's attention.

Surprised at Immogreen but there you go.

Is that a River in DC?

Bet Vern would have appreciated it. Despite being an educationalist.

"Certain people on here aren't living up to the board's proud welcoming mission statement. Is all I'm saying."

that statement sort of sat uneasily with me in the first place, i mean, not everyone is like us.
