    pre 9/11 sweet spot

    There’s a line in Fight Club about how Jack’s generation has no great war, out no way to prove themselves. It really is a great example of how things felt pre-9/11.

    I am Jack’s overwhelming sense of buyer’s remorse.

      I recently watched that movie when I turned 40. It hits different when you’re older, when you’re a teen or young person half of it goes over your head. Especially how young people glorify it and the whole fight club thing, not grasping that the movie is about toxic masculinity among other things
