Marla Singer

Last night I rewatched Fight Club, after nearly 10 years, and it only reminded me why it figures in those best of the 90's top 10 lists, and how much I love Helena Bonham Carter as Marla Singer.




"I got this dress at a thrift store for one dollar. It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree - so special, then, bam - it's abandoned on the side of the road, tinsel still clinging to it... Like sex crime victims, underwear inside-out, bound with electrical tape."

That quote is awesome. Pure genius. This reminds me that someone borrowed my fight club book and has not returned it...

I've yet to see her in a film I don't like. I watched that the other night as well and missed being dangerous after watching it. :)

Eu também adoro a Marla Singer. Acho que ela é a síntese desse filme, ao lado de Tyler Durden!

Eu também adoro a personagem da Helena Bonham Carter em "Clube da Luta", bem como do filme como um todo - sem dúvida um dos melhores dos anos 90. Ansioso por "Alice"!

marla is a cancer. she rocks in this film but i hate that she appears in tim burton's films, she somehow has ruined his originality :S

Annie said...

hey, I just found your blog through bloglovin', and I totally love it.
Marla Singer is definitly a memorable character from Fight Club, and another person who makes me wish that smoking wasn't dangerous for one's health.

Hahahaha, I LOVED the dialogue!
And i adore Carter, fantastical actress. But I have to rewatch this film too, to remember her character correctly.

Ciao!

She's one of those people who can carry off extremes, Marla was one of her best roles, she's just so acidic.

She is my fav character ever. She embodies the darker side of our soul that most of us don't want to admit. Love it.
