Guess how I spent the afternoon?

Reading this very interesting article on how Fight Club the movie is really the real life version of Calvin and Hobbes the comic strip. Not sure if this was written as a discussion by a film student or something like that, but I seriously enjoyed reading about the comparisons made as well as the obvious effort made in researching and cross referencing between the two subjects.

It's kind of a pleasant surprise to find myself agreeing with the well thought out arguments. Well, it really isn't that surprising. :P I've LOVED the C&H comic strips since time immemorial and enjoyed Fight Club the movie immensely (even though Ling didn't really enjoy it). Any of you happen to like both and concur with the parallels drawn by the author of the article? I'm sorry if it's too much of a read or this post bored you to tears.

I feel like getting the DVD for Fight Club and buying a book of Calvin and Hobbes now... ah... good times...
