It'll be my first watch.

Next year's sci-fi book has a huge hat-tip to you.

I miss workshop. Well my debut novels are possible due your mentorship. You showed me what I was capable of as a writer. I am glad to have helped you reach for the stars. They better be giving you an awesome book tour.

As if you're not busy enough?

Kimberly's avatar

I'll find the time. Priorities, ya know

Gullabi's avatar

just to be sure one needs to watch it multiple times I suppose

Chuck Palahniuk's avatar

Just once. But pay attention.

And this isn't a trivia quiz. You'll be looking for a scene that must happen in every good story.

Guess it’s time to dust off my toga and buy a twelve pack.

May the force be with you!

I'll be asking about a very unlikely aspect of the storytelling. A moment that feels lifted from a different kind of movie.

I have a theory. Even if I don’t get in first and win the contest, I can’t wait to find out if I’m right.

I’ll tell you one thing: You’ve certainly made me think more deeply about Animal House than I ever expected to!

I've never seen it before but I'm curious to see what it's about!

Chuck Palahniuk's avatar

Oh dear. You're in for a shock.

I've just finished it! I have a couple ideas as to what the unexpected scene could be referring to, but I will wait and see.

Included with Prime video if you have that, free on Internet Archive if you don't, $4.00-ish rental everywhere else if you insist.

I’m about to watch animal house the way gesture artists watch the way armpits fold xD.

Aww! Look at Baby Kevin Bacon!

Chuck Palahniuk's avatar

In his white shorts. No one has rocked those shorts better than the Bacon and Tom Cruise.

My second-best celebrity encounter story involves Kevin Bacon. If we ever get a chance to hang out in person, I’ll share it with you. It’s embarrassing but pretty funny.

At this point, this movie owes me

Chuck Palahniuk's avatar

Note how both 'Fight Club' and 'Animal House' feature gloved sex. And a big, crunchy house. What's with that?

Arryn Pabon's avatar

Ha! An English teacher once you'd me that we write best about what we know about. 😏
