The Lighthouse at Flamborough Head. Still going strong after 200 years.
I like lighthouses, they are simple to understand. You see one and know exactly what you are going to get….
We sat down to watch a movie last night, Fight Club. As I sat with my coffee I was ready for a couple of hours about boxing, maybe unlicensed, probably featuring an underground boxing club. Think Rocky mixed with Dead Poets Society.
I won’t give the plot away but how wrong was I with that assumption. It was like sitting down to watch a harmless romantic comedy like Notting Hill and then finding out it’s actually a slasher horror film set on a Space Ship.
After the movie Hawklad said that this time, the real movie entertainment was watching my increasingly confused and bewildered expression.
It’s just me, I don’t get out much these days 😂😂😂😂😂
A Dad trying to cope with the loss of his Partner and becoming a single parent. 
I have heard of this film. But after looking at the trailer, I don’t think I have watched it.

LOL… that movie is such a widely referenced movie that I’m shocked you didn’t know. Then again, “the first rule of fight club…”

Whoa… I opened the calendar for a local art theater and they’re showing Fight Club in Sep. I think of you & Hawklad when I check that calendar because they offer ‘sensory friendly’ screenings of some films… lights dimmed but not off, lower sound volume, and people are free to walk about, dance, whatever.

Our local cinema does that sometimes. It can make such a difference to many who can’t usually enjoy a movie experience.

You make me smile. The film title is familiar but I’ve never seen it. I hate boxing movies so I wouldn’t have anyway, would I? But I love lighthouses. The more the merrier x

Not my kind of thing! My brother and I took our old dad on a long road trip in beautiful country but one night he really really wanted to see the movie Insomnia, so we took him and watched him sleep through it 🙂

I recall going for a walk in Orkney in the real dark, I mean really really dark, darkest all dark, so as to not see at all and then the torch went out! So I had to wait for the light from a lighthouse to show me the road, then stop and wait again. It was an experience and especially when a white owl wanted to take the top of my head off!
As for films and in real life, I just can’t watch fights at all, not even fiction. I didn’t seem to react to the violence in Night and Day thought and love the line “With me, without me. With me, without me.”

That movie is really really violent. My dad would drive us to a lighthouse at the mouth of the Tees. The lighthouse was hypnotic in the darkness.

It’s really weird, but that film just doesn’t trigger me. I can’t fathom it, as loads of things do.

Fight Club is a classic movie and yes, that wild curve at the end is iconic! 😆
Funnily enough, I just read, unrelated, earlier this morning that a female-led remake is in the works with Margot Robbie. It’ll be interesting if they make any changes.

“The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.” It’s a cult film, here in the US. I have never seen it, either. Never had the desire.

Americans & their tastes in film have a tendency to lean towards the absurd. A big one here is Pulp Fiction. I tried to watch it. It was so moronic. Once we got past 2012, most movies suck, now.
