If I'm stuck on a desert island with a tv and a dvd player, I would choose Fight Club and the Star Wars Saga to go with it. I like Star Wars, it's been one of my obsessions since I was about 9 years old. Now, Fight Club, I watched this movie in late 2006, about a few years after it was released. I keep on drawing themes and ideas from Fight Club, especially Tyler Durden's dialogues, when I write my movie scripts.
I have been working on a script for a movie. I'm hoping that someday I can find the time to get together with a couple of guys from my old high school and actually turn this script into a film. I've been working on this since early this year, and I add a couple of lines and scenes here and there every once in a while.
There's this one scene from Fight Club that always inspire me to continue writing on my script, even though I know there's nothing in it for me (i.e. it's not going to be turned into a real movie).
NARRATOR
I don't know.. it's just, everytime you buy a furniture, you tell yourself "That's it, that's the last sofa I'm gonna need. Whatever else happens, I've got the sofa problem handled". I had it all. I had a stereo that was very decent. I was close to being complete.
TYLER
Shit man. Now it's all gone.
NARRATOR
All gone.
TYLER
Do you know what a duvet is?
NARRATOR
Comforter. It's a blanket.
TYLER
Just a blanket. Now, why do guys like you and I know what a duvet is? Is this essential to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word? No. What are we, then?
NARRATOR
We're uh, you know, consumers.
TYLER
Right. We're consumers. We are byproducts of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty - these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear, Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra..
NARRATOR
Martha Stewart.
TYLER
Fuck Martha Stewart, Martha's polishing the brass on the Titanic! It's all going down, man. So fuck off with your sofa units and Strinne green stripe patterns. Fuck off with your IKEA catalogue. I say, never be complete, stop being perfect, let's.. let's evolve. Let the chips fall where they may. But that's just me, I could be wrong.
Silence fell.
NARRATOR
I did lose a lot of stuff.
TYLER
..and the things you own, end up owning you.

but the clipped script looks good though :D
gw dulu mau taro quote yg ini di hal. pertama yearbook:
Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler
