Popular culture references
Hi,
I'm a 1st year journo and my media technology assignment is to build a website based on a famous personality, and I've chosen Chuck.
I was wondering if anyone oculd point me in the direction of some popular culture references to Palahniuk's works. All I've got so far is Panic! At The Disco and Fightstar.
Anything at all would be useful, not only lyrical/musical references.
If you could include a link to where you got your information that'd be great, but if not, no worries, the basic information will at leats point me in the right direction.
Thanks a million,
Kiwi

People have actually started Fight Clubs because of the movie. It spread over a lot of states.
The book Survivor inspired A LOT of "movies" which are more like trailors done by mostly college students. Check Youtube.
I have heard multiple places that Chuck is the new Kurt Vonnegut, I dont know if that can be helpful but hey it cant hurt.
I also found this on the wikipedia page for Fight Club, you might just want to check his different books on wiki or other sites for basic references
"Beyond his public and private lives, Fight Club's cultural impact is evidenced by U.S. teenagers' and techies' establishment of fight clubs.[7] Pranks, such as food-tampering, have been repeated by fans of the book, documented in his essay "Monkey Think, Monkey Do",[8] in the book Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories and in the introduction to the 2004 re-issue of Fight Club. Other fans have been inspired to pro-social activity, telling him it inspired them to return to college.[2]"
You can't believe in anyone else
There's a band called Forgive Durden, referring to none the less,

I tried finding the 'cultural references inspired by Fight Club' page on wikipedia, but can't. It was there like a year ago, tons of references. Try imdb's movie connections list and see what you can find.
