But True Romance was right on the money.<BR/><BR/>Re the Chuck stuff: roughly every couple of years, he opens up a fanmail window in his schedule. Anyone who writes to him within a given month gets a letter and box of goodies. There are rules and regs (natch: this is the guy who brought us "the first rule of..."), but they're not hard to adhere to.<BR/><BR/>Apparently it takes him about six months to reply to one month's worth of mail!* (asterisk)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11969314216753450118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-22430019298125032232007-02-11T08:45:00.000-08:002007-02-11T08:45:00.000-08:00asterisk,What a great story about Chuck.

It was more of a revolutionary idea and should have been more of a milestone, but didn't seem to be.<BR/><BR/>True Romance is a great flick and Tony Scott pulled it off beautifully. He's kind of hit and miss in his movies, but everything clicked for that one.PIPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054305230216613759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-46779606536766322542007-02-10T16:46:00.000-08:002007-02-10T16:46:00.000-08:00I loved Fight Club on first viewing, tho I don't t...I loved Fight Club on first viewing, tho I don't think it changed movie-making in the way Fincher seemed to think it would (based on an interview with him in Sight & Sound magazine at the time).<BR/><BR/>I would say it came slightly too late to be my generational movie, but it is a great choice (if one has a choice in such things). The scene you mention is great, too. <BR/><BR/>On the subj of Fight Club, did you see <A HREF="http://blogaboutnowt.blogspot.com/2007/01/that-package-from-chuck.html" REL="nofollow">the stuff I got from Chuck Palahniuk</A>?<BR/><BR/>My generational movie is probably True Romance. "It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have one" is my adopted motto! Well, it isn't really, but it would cool if it were!* (asterisk)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11969314216753450118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-37862069837329618592007-02-09T11:43:00.000-08:002007-02-09T11:43:00.000-08:00Great, great analysis of "Fight Club!!"
