Today, we’re remembering the pupil-turned-legend who sent in a 19-word paper on Fight Club and received an A.

The Legendary Essay

Most of you are aware of the hardship involved in trying to write a 6,000-word paper for school or college, which is typically done the night before while downing a couple of Pro Plus and a can of Monster.

Reaching that word count might be an absolute struggle, but one maverick tried something completely different and it worked.

Allison Garrett, who was entrusted with writing a review of a movie she had seen, is that maverick.

The former pupil picked the Brad Pitt and Edward Norton film Fight Club from the 1990s, in which the characters created their own masochistic underground club.

And she achieved it in just 19 words, astonishingly earning her teacher’s praise of 100/100.

“The assignment description for essay 5 was to write a review of a movie that we had seen,” Allison said in a tweet announcing her achievement.

What novel analysis did she present, then, that won her such acclaim?

She began her piece by quoting the most famous line from the movie: “The first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club.”

There’s it, that’s my essay, I’ll leave it at that, at the bottom of the page.

She continued in the comment area, saying, “I cannot say that I am sorry because it would be a lie. Am I proud? Yes,” indicating that she was still not finished.

It was, to put it mildly, a bold approach that, depending on the instructor, might have gone either way.

Fortunately, Allison’s teacher found the humor in it, but he did caution her against trying it out on other professors, just in case.

On the submission page’s comments section, they penned the following: “I spent a lot of time struggling with this grade.

“I’ve come to the conclusion that you earn a grade for humor and how pertinent your review is to this particular film.

Warning: do not attempt this with other teachers as they might not share your sense of humor.

It didn’t take long for Allison’s tweet to go viral after it was shared a few years ago, with many people complimenting it.

Rotten Tomatoes gave Netflix’s most recent creature movie a perfect score, praising it for its moralistic narrative, entertaining special effects, and inventive takes on Swedish mythology.

An Interesting Plot

The protagonist of the tale is the paleontologist Nora Tidemman, who grew up hearing tales from Swedish mythology from her father. Nora joins forces with an academic, a soldier, and a government advisor to investigate a string of fatalities on a hillside and learn what is going on in Dovre. The mountain then begins to move, and the troll that lives there wreaks havoc on the people who are endangering its home.

Great Results

Troll has received numerous comparisons to Godzilla in reviews, and it formerly had a perfect critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. The score has since dropped to 85%, but that’s still a pretty remarkable performance for a movie in 2022, knowing that there are a lot of good movies out there.

A Huge Announcement

In recent footage from an unidentified event, Mayweather was seen being interviewed and confirming that he has made a first offer for majority ownership of a team. He did not specify the team in which he had already expressed interest, but he did state that he would be open to either buying an expansion team in Seattle or Las Vegas or examining any current franchises that might be for sale.

Some Top Prospects

In response to the question of whether this was Vegas, he said: “It could be the Vegas franchise, it could be the Seattle franchise, or I could be buying a franchise that’s already up-and-running. The first offer, we offered them a little over $2 billion for majority ownership. Do I have it? Absolutely, absolutely I have it.”

Robbie is currently one of the most in-demand performers in the industry, almost ten years after the successful movie’s US debut. In a recent interview, actress Margot Robbie stated that she believed no one would take note of her in the pivotal part in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Wasn’t Really Expecting

She has starred in a number of box office hits, but the 32-year-old Australian actress never imagined she would achieve such renown after her triumph on the beloved soap opera Neighbours, which she returned to for the final episode in July. Robbie acknowledged that she didn’t expect anyone would recognize her in The Wolf of Wall Street in an interview with The Mirror.

Some Initial Thoughts

“No one’s going to notice me in this film,” Robbie thought at the time, “It doesn’t matter what I do in this film because they’re going to focus on Leo and I’ll just slip under the radar.” At the age of 22, Robbie had to perform her first-ever nude scene for the movie, which she admits wasn’t the easiest.

The Wolf of Wall Street undoubtedly enjoyed great success, earning enormous sums at the box office. For her performance as Naomi Lapaglia in the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, Robbie won the Empire Award for Best Female Newcomer. Since then, Robbie’s her career has flourished and she is now one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors.
