Madeline Kahn is the only name I recognize on Malloy's list. Makes me feel like an asshole.

Gotta respect your unwavering love for Fight Club. I feel like it has taken backlash in recent years for widespread appeal more than anything. It's akin to folks dismissing Tool because their fans like to pretend the music is deeper than it really is.epilogue wrote:Putting Out of Sight ahead of Fight Club means you're on your own, pal!tragabigzanda wrote:Mods?
Still, one of my fav. movies of all time.
