malarchi replied to your post: Are you still writing that essay on white guilt in film? Because I just watched this and it raises some brilliant points that are a bit of a stretch but are pretty interesting and also funny. http://www.cracked.com/video_18203_why-back-to-future-secretly-horrifying.html

Hahah yeh I did, that was really good too. 99% strippers. Well, books are cool too, I GUESS! Hope it goes well anyways.

Hey I used some Chuck Palahniuk to explain the American obsession with imagining their own destruction. He wrote about it a bit in his non-fiction essay ‘monkey think, monkey do’. Like he had a theory that Stephen King invented school shootings by simply imagining them into existence and giving kids the idea. And apparently the government hired loads of filmmakers to thinktank all the ways terrorists could hurt America. I can’t tell where the line is between fact and urban myth with Palahniuk’s work.
