Fight Club is one of those films whose fanbase's fanaticism is so over the top that it kind of undercuts what's good about it. The film is basically a fun drama/thriller with a few cool twists along the way. It shows how consumerism makes us robots while aggressive anti-consumerism makes us animals. So, in a way — whether someone thinks conducting video game music is beneath her or less than conducting the old Masters — she’s neutered in her ability as a conductor. She can’t control time. She’s reduced to performance theater. I think it’s definitely meant to show her as cast down low. 90. Then there's Quint, a Captain Ahab like figure whose obsession places him in a fit of blind fury.

Yeah, Baldwin's opening monologue doesn't condition people to think of these people as slick, intelligent, capitalist heroes to root for.

True Romance Trivia: The genesis of True Romance began with a 50 page script by Roger Avary titled The Open Road.

The percentage of submission to include best snubbed actor (and actress, almost) nominees doubled from last year.

A lot of people have named Ryan Gosling’s Ken as the MVP of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie”. (I agree, yet kudos to the wonderful Margot Robbie for slaying as always!)

Scorcese hasn't been entirely clear as to whether he has an issue with the MCU specifically, or with franchise filmmaking in general.
