Fight Club: Pro-Terrorist?

I hesitate to point this out, but Brad Pitt has picked some
prescient scripts.
Fight Club came out right before Seattle '99 (think of the
Corporate Art ball
rolling into Starbucks which Chuck mentioned. Again I hesitate to
mention it,
but it was sort of a jujitsu move like ObL with the planes and
the WTC). In Terry
Gilliam's 12 Monkeys, a nutjob decimates humanity with an
anthrax-like
bioweapon. And in the recent Spy Games, there's a storyline where
the
CIA employs local gangsters to assassinate a warlord in Beirut.

Also, Pitt's celeb wife, Jennifer Aniston did the very funny, but
slightly Dilbert-like
Office Space. She comes to mind b/c South Park just ran a rerun
where
she's a guest voice. Her character takes a musical troupe of
children (called
"Getting Gay with Kids") to Costa Rica to help save the
rainforest with the
gift of song. When lost in the forest, they encounter a rebels
who are fighting
the "fascists." Her movie "Rock Star" is out on video. Very funny
although
I'm not sure if it was intended to be.
