Fight Club

[Senior]

It's been a while but i just pulled it out and watched it again. Great movie!

[Clayton.]

I have that movie i haven't watched it in a while eaither maybe it's time to give it a watch. I have a decent size dvd collection but i can never decide on which one i wanna watch so usually don't watch any of them. lol

[PwInCeSs]

I watched it a few weeks back! I fell asleep part way through then tried to watch it again the next night fell asleep again!
Awesome movie cant get enough :) (of the first half apparently)

One of the best movies of our time. As far as performances go, by far Edward Norton's best. Looking back it's one of the few movies at that time that attempted to fuck with you on such a cerebral level. A psychological thriller in it's own class... Up there with Taxi driver.

^^ i watched taxi driver for the first time recently...


fell asleep... it was really really boring...


maybe if i had seen it when it was big?



........oh right.. fight club... WAY better the second time around

Most fucked up part of that whole movie is when Lou gets introduced and fist fucks brads face. Brad jumps Lou, laughing blood in his face and mouth.

Nucking Futs!

Funniest part - When Brad's fucking marla and nortin comes to the door, Brad opens up bare assed except for yellow dish gloves.
"Wanna finish her off?"

The book was better ....but I think it came after the movie.

[anewlife]

Yeah, good flick.

Have you guys noticed the subliminal images? I just recall the man in front of the copier, the group session and, of course, the penis...but there was more.

Anyway, excellent movie for sure!

Weak, dude. You missed the part where Martin Scorsese fantasizes about killing his wife and the huge pimp gun battle at the end. Kids today have no patience.

Taxi Driver. . . boring?!?! One of my favourite De Niro films, next to Goodfellas and Jackie Brown.

I really like that there is a lot that you can read into the storey line. For instance in the last scene of the movie, well close anyway, he shoots himself in the head and BP is gone. I read into this that he has finally won out as the dominant part of his spilt personality. Many similar threads through the entire movie. I also like how there is such detail to the storey line in that at no point does a character speak to BP and EN at the same time.

Favorite part? When he kicks his ass in front of his boss so that he can get his "corporate sponsorship."

Funniest part? When BP asigns everyone the task of getting in a fight with a random stranger. It kind of makes you think, how would people react to that kind of thing?

[veN]

An all time fave.

[Ms.Tarantula]

once upon a time I got in a scrap on a work night...
I missed the next day of work, but when I did come back in the day after...
I had stitches on my face. I used the line from fight club 'well the first rule is.. we're not supposed to talk about it'... LOL LOL

some people didnt get it right away lol but most ppl did :)

[diaphorrhoea]

Just to clear up any confusion, the book came first.

Oh, and Taxi Driver is a fucking amazing film.

[Ms.Tarantula]

^ is the book better....

usually the book is better then the movie and if so.. I wanna read it.

[diaphorrhoea]

It's hard to say. They're both great, and Fincher did such a great job of adapting Palahniuk's work for the big screen that I can't really pick a favourite. Similar to Gilliam's adaptation of Fear and Loathing, although the book wins in that case simply by virtue of Hunter S. Thompson's sheer awesomeness.

i haven't seen "jackie brown" but de niro isn't in "goodfellas".

lol, have you seen "meet the fauckers"? hands down de niro's best.

edit-oh yeah, "fight club" rocks too.

I once wrote an essay in college comparing Fear & Loathing the movie to the book. B+ is pretty good for me. The first half of the movie is dead on, but it starts to get muddled around the adrenochrome bit. Still, it's as close as you're gonna get; and del Toro and Depp are utterly brilliant.
