I remember when fight club first came out and young lads in school were starting up their own fight clubs. Just punching each other with clenched fists and quoting shit like "do you want to die without any scars" or the ever popular "i want you to hit me as hard as you can". Now i like fight club, hell i love fight club, its one of my favorite movies of all time. I love movies, and after watching a movie it may impact me for awhile....but that will eventually fade away. It takes a certain type of person to watch something and then integrate it deeply into their own personality.
Why is it then....that we never see this happen with more elaborate movies? Sure fight club was a great movie but how fucking easy is it to love that movie and then just go punch a friend or start a fight with a stranger in a shopping center? I say if your going to commit, pick something challenging. Below I've compiled a list of movies for you to duplicate that will really really impress the shit out of me.
1. Titanic.
You want to impress me? Make love to some one out of your social class
while an inescapable tragedy is happening around you. If you love a
movie enough to almost die while recreating it that'll get my attention.
Doesn't even have to be a boat (though bonus points if it is) just as
long as you get to have sex with a rich person if your poor or a poor
person if your rich while people around you die. Now, understandably
being poor and finding a rich person willing to make hot sticky whoopie
to you will be reasonably harder than the other way around. Not
impossible though just pick one who looks like she gets beaten by her
husband.
2. Groundhog day.
Keep living the same day over and over again. Pay special attention to detail, convince other members of your town to play along. Fight clubs are easy, groundhog day clubs are cults. This is the kinda shit people want to see. No one gives a rats ass that you got a black eye, but to make an entire town live September 10th 2001 over and over again would be one hell of a tourist attraction.
3.Clueless
Bang your half brother and tell the black guy from scrubs all about it. Rather easy one but impressive none the less
4. Show Girls.
Have a large portion of people want to see you naked. Then get naked. Once they have seen you naked....make every one kind of forget about it completely. That is the true genius behind the movie show girls. We all wanted to see jessie from saved by the bell get nude but yet we all completely forgot that we saw jessie from saved by the bell get nude. Sure sure the first two rules of fight club are not talking about it but people still did, obviously. Now give a bunch of people exactly what they want and then have them not even talk about it, that is mind blowing.
5. A Christmas Story
Don't be that good but be really really quotable and have millions of people love the shit out of you simply because you shove your self down their throats all day non stop for one day out of the year and have them all call you a tradition even though it only started like what 4 years ago...club
6. The Big Lebowski
Gain a huge fan base but almost all of them don't actually know what your club is about. Maybe its about bowling....or mistaken identity, or.....a rug? Who cares, long as the guy in charge is really cool and a fat guy screams a lot of vulgar nonsense the people will flock.
7. literally any Michael Bay film.
Mr. Bay might get some heat for his films being all about explosions but if you took that formula and put it into a club...sign me the hell up! Explosion club sounds so much better than "get punched in the face club". Reason for explosions....who cares, things are on fire!
8.Up
please please please! Start a club where a bunch of teenagers love it so much they try to duplicate it by tying balloons to their parents house. Fucking please make that a thing. No i don't think it will actually work but the balloon industry has been hurting ever since Obama took office. Lets get the fine people over at the....balloon....factories.....ok fine fine i just want to see teenagers falling out of the sky. So im a bit sadistic, boo hoo.
9. Star Wars
Create a group, have it loved by millions. Add or change things to the group you started. Ruin it for all the people that loved it. Profit.
10. Madea
Be racist as fuck and have the race that you are
insulting love you for it. I mean out of all the hills to climb this is
this most impressive. Say the most stereotypical outdated bullshit you
can dream up about a group of people....and then have that group of
people praise you and throw money at you for it. Actually......thats a
horrible idea.....thats so stupid and would never work, i mean it
wouldn't work even if you...
wrote a diary
had a family reunion
met...the...browns?
went to jail
did bad all by your self?
had a big happy family, which is much different than just having a family reunion
went into witness protection
or....christmas
So there ya go, ten wonderful clubs based on movies you can start without making chuck palahniuk fucking hate you.
