Saw Fight Club for the first time tonight...
WHAT A FVCKING AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!!!!! :eek: I LOVE this movie! It's just great...I'm going to buy the DVD ASAP. I have finally found a new favorite movie. When it first came out I didn't think I would like it. It looked really stupid. I had no idea though...my friend loves it too and we watched it at her house. I want to watch it again! <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" /> This post makes no sense but I'm ecstatic.

But yeah, that's a wicked movie.
Glad you liked it too.
The first rule of Fight Club is we don't talk about Fight Club.
The second rule of Fight Club is WE DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!!!!
The end of it is probably one of the best of any movie. Everything coming down almost got me standing in the movies cheering... I was so damn psyched.
I'm a huge fan of that film, really spoke to me in a way that not many movies do, and made a lot of stuff make sense: changed large chunks of my life.
wolfeye155, I can seriously recommend the DVD, but try and pick up the special edition with the two disks: the extras are well worth it.
The Rules of Fight Club:
1) You do not talk about fight club
2) You do not talk about fight club
3) When someone says "Stop", or goes limp, the fight is over
4) Only 2 guys to a fight
5) One fight at a time
6) No shirts, no shoes
7) Fights go on as long as they have to
8) If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.

i was on such a natural high for months after I saw that movie. It's so anti conformity, anti establishment, etc etc.

While I agree the movie was really good and that Edward Norton is one of the best actors out there (check out Primal Fear/American History X), to say that a movie has such an impact...come on. Stand up and cheer? To anarchy and chaos?
I bet you wouldn't have been cheering too much if say it actually happened and your family or whomever was in one of those buildings, now would you?
So why were you so ecstatic over this movie? Cause of the anti-establishment?
I don't mean to insult you or whatever, I just would like to know why. To me it was an entertaining movie and one that I own on DVD. But I feel that American History X and Schindler's List are 2 superior movies...with a more positive message than Fight Club could ever hope to deliver.
first off they make it clear that there was no one in the buildings (so its not like you can cheer about that)
At the time it cam eout I was in my last year of college, where everything that was establishment, multinationals, exploitation, evil empire, etc was very 'bad' in my mind.
so, to have such a surprise of a movie where the individual makes such a comeback, where things get shaken up, etc... well, it was just a big 'fvck you' to 'establishment' and by god, I enjoyed every second of it
"I wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every panda that wouldn't screw to save its species."
Best line on DVD...
"I want to have your abortion."
It's the Taxi Driver of our generation. I have Taxi Driver on DVD too.
:cool:
The movie would have been much better without that "oops, the whole thing is different than you thought" schtick.
I don't actually think the book is as good as the film (and it's a really short book): the movie is a lot more focused, and keeps the story bouncing along without wandering off. And a lot of the dialogue is way cooler.
Thankfully, it has nothing to do with the TV show.
Then, perhaps, the Irvine Welsh novel The Marabou Stork Nightmares. It really depends on what you can stomach. It is reallly all over the place subject-wise, but there is some really, really horrible stuff in there that many people will be uncomfortable with. You might want to wait a couple years before picking it up.
Chances of even a fragment of your sanity still being intact after reading both are ummm.......zero.
I keep meaning to stock up on Chuck Palahniuk novels, but the last time I happened to be in a bookstore and remembered, they didn't have any...
<strong>Oh yeh, did you guys see all of the Apple stuff? Like when he was taking his computer home from work...or when they blew up the computer store. One thing I don't understand is why were all the computers so old? This wasn't a very old movie.... The only thing I can think of is that it was supposed to have happened in his past and that's what he remembered.</strong><hr></blockquote>
would YOU use NEW Apple stuff to blow up?? Ya must be crazy!
Actually, did you notice that the computer store had a stripy Apple logo in the window? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />
<strong>Yeah, that's not the best product placement, is it?

Hummm! Was Steve back in charge while this movie was being made?
By-by old Apple etc. New Mac's would have been Bondi iMac's wouldn't they?
I also recommend the Special edition 2 disk DVD Loads of extras. (Telling you that the stuntman threw himself down the concrete steps about 20 times, then they went and used the first take in the final cut. The fact that they had to leave the amounts out of the nitroglycerin recipe, because the ingredients are correct)

I went to Best Buy and bought the Special Edition 2 Disc Set today! Man I love this movie! I think this is the first time that I've bought a movie the day after I first saw it!
