Fight Club

[slade]

Chuck P is a sick individual. And I've got three signed books.

<3 ricker

most of the book was better than the movie in some ways, but i actually liked the ending of the movie better. although, i thought some of his other books better than fight club.

Lullaby, Choke, and Survivor.

Hate.

I have Choke.

Fight Club was here... and it was kinda cool. Only the smartest were in there... well and me....

Marla does comment on him talking to himself

"Who are you talking to"

as Brad Ptt stands naked in a door asking Edward Norton "You wanna finish her off?"

I still loved it though, it makes you think

Once you "Know" the movie and you watch it again a 2nd time, you really begin to pick out how they did the whole thing.. It was really well done, even the movie.

Rule #1 of fight club.

Lullaby, Choke, and Survivor.

I shall say it again.

Love love love love Lullaby.

It's fun to pause the movie to see all of the parts where Brad Pitt is in random frames near the begining too.

Of course, it only makes sense after seeing the movie.

I thought the idea of the fight club was a neat idea, I just didnt like the whole split personality and how they went about doing it, I personally found it better in Secret Window, or even High Tension...

it was a pretty cool movie, but have any of you seen this http://www.metaphilm.com/philm.php?id=29_0_2_0

some one came up with the idea that fight club is a senario where calvin and hobbes are grown-up and life has brought out the darker sides of everyone in the comic. interesting read wether you agree or don't.

I've watched it every 2 months or so since it came out, I love that movie. I just recently got the book, so thats next months project.

interesting, and there are quite a few similarities, but a lot of that article is a stretch. chuck palahniuk may have read calvin and hobbes, but i highly doubt that that was the idea he had in writing fight club. its just much easier to make loose connections after the fact.

"The moral of the story is that reality bites, kiddies. Calvin and Hobbes in Fight Club are proof of this sad, sad truth."

ehh, not really. Calvin and Hobbes has a rather positive outlook and is somewhat philosophical, whereas Fight Club is more of a bleak social commentary.

you are not your post count!

I disagree completely. Fight Club is either a movie that someone likes to watch, a pseudo-cult obsession, or a movie someone doesn't like. In the end, it's a f-ing movie. For example: my mother is one of the least money-obsessed people I know. She hated this movie because she hates violence. Some people dislike the cinematography. I liked it because it stayed kind of true to the book, and I love his style. I dislike the kind of people who went crazy over this movie. They're exactly the same as everyone else; they latch onto this movie, or Rocky Horror, or any other cult classic to be "different," but in the end, they're following a trend just like all the Rocky Horror nuts, or the girls that have to have the latest LV handbags. They're being what they hate, and I find that ironic. And annoying.
