Is Fight Club (1999) a shit movie? Watching now.

[JonHeDoesIt]

Bret Easton Ellis is also some kind of a shirt lifter, but American Psycho is a great movie. I've heard the book is way more graphic and was banned in Germany.

The book was written by a gay, the movie was directed by a woman and the screenplay was by a gay woman.

Not sure why that doesn't appear word for word in the IMDB trivia.

It's a time capsule that's fun to watch.

I have to know the year a movie was released before I watch it, you need context in order to give proper respect to editing, effects, dated references, etc.

There is a lot of eyerolling shit in Fight Club, but consider every 'deep point' he makes in speeches mostly don't apply anymore. It's a dated movie. Nice "we have no war," stupid. Here's 24 of them back-to-back since 2000.

Everyone knows 1999 was a great movie year, and Fight Club was just one of many.

I kinda hate The Matrix, too. The agent who is a program played by Hugo Weaving has more personality than a real man, Keanu Reeves. People like Keanu now for the John Wick movies, but he shitted up so many movies in the 90s.

Keanu stuck out like a sore thumb in Copella's Dracula. You had real heavyweights Oldman and Hopkins. Then the lead sounds like a Califonia surfer in 19th century London. The reputation of Keanu being a real nice guy have to be true, because he'd have to be likeable and easy to work with being such a shit actor.

The book and movie are written by and for Generation X. The only group of men in the last 70 years that never had to go to war, yet they find a way to brooood about it.

Fight Club makes a lot more sense when you know that it's based on a book written by a gay man.

I remember enjoying a few of his books but I don't remember anything about them except Haunted, which included 2 short stories that are creepy as fuck.

The one was about a guy who jacks off at the bottom of a pool so the filter can suck on his asshole and the other is about a bunch of cops who fuck anatomically correct child CPR dolls.

It's a bunch of semi interesting anecdotes tying a loose mental illness plot together. Like the splicing porn frames bit. It's off beat enough to make me like it regardless. Book was pretty good too.

The first Mummy is great. Rachel Weisz needs be added to the Alliance..

I’d rest my cock on her lips and her lips then leave

Fight Club makes a lot more sense when you know that it's based on a book written by a gay man.

I read a bad review of one of his other books where the female reviewer pointed out how homerotic Fight Club is. I believe this was before or around the time he came out of the closet. Palahniuk got so butt he posted a response and got the lady's name wrong. He invited her to "please shut up" and compared himself to to F. Scott Fitzgerald.

When you realize that it's written by a gay guy about a gay guy struggling with his homosexuality, the film becomes the dark comedy it was intended to be.

My dad got me the Blue Ray that came in the tin box for my bday one year after saying I liked the movie. I feel like a asshole because I never watched it because I cleaned out all my dvd's and blue rays 2 years ago.

I havn't seen it in years, but it's a cool movie. But, a lot of the faggots that want to sound cool say they like it, so that ruined it.

Dang. I remember when my mom got me a really bad PlayStation game and I never played it. I felt terrible and hid it in behind the TV so I could pretend I somehow lost it.

But to answers ops question, read the book

The book is good, but the movie does fix a lot of problems, and leaves out the gay stuff between tyler and the narrator

for example, the main chick had fat stored in the freezer for lip injects, her mom was getting lyposuction and she had been collecting it so she could get it put into her body

thats really stupid, in the movie they make it so tyler and the narrator steal it from plastic surgery hospital dumpster. thats pretty genius

also tyler durden used to put porn in kids movies cause he worked as a film projectionist. and would piss in food, there is one scene were tyler sticks his dick in the soup they are about to serve, and the narrator marvels at how his dick looks like an elphants trunk drinking from a stream

the fact i remember that line almost 2 decades later might prove your point, it's got some great hilarious parts that the movie doesn't have

but the movie works better because of it

the book makes tyler durden a real creep. in the movie he's just some chad

I was about to say Marla couldn't be fake because she interacts with other people in the movie. Like when she sells the clothes from the laundry mat. Then I thought about Tyler stealing that car at the airport and now I'm mentally fucked. Well done sir

Now that you mention it I think the waiter only talks to him about what Marla ordered so maybe she really wasn’t there and it was just him ordering “for her”

Edit: here it is, I dunno..

Damn the more I think about it what about the scene when Marla tried to OD on pills and calls the cops. She talks directly to the cops with "Tyler" escorting her out of the building. Man this one goes deep
