Fritz's World

An exciting and awe-inspiring glimpse into my life: movie reviews (which are replete with spoilers), Penn State football, Washington Nationals, and life here in the nation's capital. Can you handle it?

When Fight Club meets . . . Calvin & Hobbes?

A while ago, I let my imagination run away with me and created a list of Fight Club quotes as spoken by "South Park" characters. Someone apparently had a similar idea—though took it in a totally different direction! For this person took the plot of Fight Club and adapted the life and stories of Calvin & Hobbes to it! The really frightening part is . . . it makes perfect sense!!! Such as how . . .
  • Calvin made up Hobbes just as the narrator made up Tyler Durden
  • Calvin was forced by his father to lose his imaginary friend at a certain age (probably to "build character"), which left him disillusioned and lonely
  • Hobbes despised Calvin's materialistic adulthood and re-entered Calvin's life in the form of Tyler Durden to rescue him from a conformist, socially-acceptable life that's devoid of meaning
  • Susie Derkins becomes disillusioned as a teen and young adult, and essentially morphs into Marla Singer
  • Moe the class bully grew up into Bob, and stumbled onto Calvin/narrator at the Remaining Men Together meetings
  • Fight Club had its earliest roots in Calvin's club G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimey GirlS).
Anyway, you get the idea, and the link to the article is right here.
