DAY 2
my favorite movie

i've been raving about Fight Club for a couple of years now, so i'll gush about this particular movie that came as a close second in my favorite movies list.

Fight Club was awesome to me because the story and narration was so dark, gritty, urban, cold and very elaborate. i especially loved small, significant details like how tyler durden would be shown in just a single, fleeting frame before he was introduced. it defined "movie with a huge cult following". but i said i wouldnt ramble about Fight Club today.

literally my earliest influence on my love for indie movies and film in general, 70's colors, witty, deadpan comedy and even smoking was the movie The Royal Tenenbaums. i may have only been 9 or 10 when i first watched it, but i never forgot the montage about Margot Tenenbaum's life or the Richie suicide attempt scene. it was completely life-changing, and that's why this post is dedicated to it today. Wes Anderson remains my favorite director, and i love that all his films consistently have that vintage, dysfunctional, unpretentious charm.

"I think he's very lonely. Lonelier than he lets on. Maybe lonelier than he even realizes." -Richie Tenenbaum on Royal

i will find the answer in Peels.
