Fight Club

Looking back at the movie Fight Club (I admit to failing for never reading the book) I think it has overtones that might resonate with the brethren.

One of the key "rituals" is the burning of acid... Knowing, not fearing, knowing that you will die.

In the car crash scene, the Tyler character asks each of the men in car what they would miss if they died today.

Both remind me of the hourglasss.

"We're a generation raised by women... I wonder if another woman is really the solution"

"It's a therapy group for men only"

The ritual to join Tyler's army reminds one of the Templars, a uniform and burial money.

Just thinking... maybe the undercurrents of manhood run so strong that even Hollywood can't keep them under the surface.
