Fight Club

Fight Club is one of my favorite movies. Yesterday, I bought the book at a garage sale for fifty cents. I read it today in about as much time as it takes to watch the movie. My advice: don't bother. It is poorly written with little cohesion or substance. The movie succeeds in taking the best parts of the book and imroving upon it immensely. If this best seller is indicative of what is being written and read today, it is unsurprising that nobody reads anymore.

Haven't seen this one; got to get caught up some films.

This is off-topic, but I've been enjoying this performance from YouTube -- Louis Bellson, in his prime --

Awesome footage, James. All I can say is, we're not worthy.
