The Leper King and his Heirs: Baldwin IV and the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem
By Bernard Hamilton
see relatedAm I a coward?
After months of grueling preparation for this year's BAR Exam I decided to call it off...this Saturday morning.
What happened to me? I've always been sure and confident about my undertakings but this is the first time that I didn't (or couldn't?) face a battle.
My mind wants but my spirit doesn't...

Fight Club (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
By Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf, Zach Grenier
see relatedmischief.mayhem.soap."How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?"
NO movie of the past and the present can ever come close to the rawness of FIGHT CLUB (1999). I can watch this film over and over and over again and never get tired of it. With David Fincher directing and Edward Norton playing a chronic insomniac desperately trying to escape his excruciatingly boring life, you can never go wrong. I mean, Ed Norton is always badass. And the shocking surprise at the later part is the sickest thing! Hail Edward Norton! Hail!
"Fight Club, a film about men who like to fight, is an unsettling experience, but not the way anyone intended. What's most troubling about this witless mishmash of whiny, infantile philosophizing and bone-crunching violence is the increasing realization that it actually thinks it's saying something of significance. That is a scary notion indeed." (Hollywood.com Review)
This movie is very disturbing ... but I love the way it disturbs me. It can make you think. It can make you break free. It isn't just something that you can get over with once you go out of the theater. It portrays life and society in the sickest way. We all have some crazy fantasies about ourselves, how we want to be. And we all fantasize about doing something we know WE CAN'T DO because of logic, because of our job, our family, our reputation ... because of the law and norms of society. And don't we get sick of it sometimes? Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) was able to make Jack (Ed Norton) do anything and care about nothing. This movie is the EXTREME realization of a man's fantasy.
"You are not your job. You are not how much you have in the bank. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your khakis. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. What happens first is you can't sleep. What happens then is there's a gun in your mouth. And what happens next is you meet Tyler Durden. Let me tell you about Tyler. He had a plan. In Tyler we trusted. Tyler says the things you own, end up owning you. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Fight Club represents that kind of freedom. First rule of Fight Club: You do not talk about Fight Club. Second rule of Fight Club: You do not talk about Fight Club. Tyler says self-improvement is masturbation. Tyler says self-destruction might be the answer."
If the first rule of Fight Club is ''You do not talk about Fight Club,'' a fitting subsection might be ''Why would anyone want to?''
