Brooklyn Loves Fight Club

posted on june 2, 2003, tag: entertainment

Last week I finished reading Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk*, and shortly thereafter, so did Katia. So, last night, we decided we both really wanted to see the film again, having already seen it a long while ago, before reading the book. We called the local video store, and they told us their one copy on DVD was out.

Not to be broken that easily, we rode a mile to the nearest Blockbuster. Unfortunately—we didn't call before we went—after all that riding, their one copy on DVD was rented out too. Once again, however, we decided we weren't finished. We rode another mile in the opposite-ish direction to Bedford Avenue only to find that the video store there had one copy on DVD—and it was fucking rented out.

I don't understand it, but apparently Brooklyn loves Fight Club, specifically on DVD. In the end, we actually found it at the first place (right near our apartment), where it had been returned 20 minutes after I called the first time. Weird.

* The book itself was really great. I definitely recommend it for anyone—and it's a quick read too.
