Yesterday I asked if my film students had seen Fight Club. Everyone stared at me blankly.
Since so many of my white male students are exploring male rage in their work I didn’t want Joker to be their only cinematic reference.
The first rule of fight club: watch Fight Club.

also: I felt old ah
Also also: someone should cobble together a course exploring unfettered & often weakly motivated white male rage in the cinematic canon+ties to our current state of existence. Not a WOC or Black Woman Professor though—that would be disproportionate emotional & intellectual labor.
Surprised no one #here mentioned American Psycho and uhh a gazillion other films.
