So am I the only person in the world who didn't particularly like this movie?

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » December 5, 2005, 3:49 pm

yes you are.

i thought it was excellent. the line 'i havent been fucked like that since grade school' was enough to make it a classic.

For mentally disturbed movies, I prefer American Psycho over Fight Club.

Fight club is a great take on cubicle society and the impact it has on people, great frickin flick, watched it just a couple nights ago

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » December 6, 2005, 12:07 pm

American Psycho and Fight Club are both great flicks, in their own right.

masteen · Post by **masteen** » December 6, 2005, 8:21 pm

American Psycho worked better as a book because there is so much going on inside the head of the main character.

Fight Club was much better as a film, even Chuck thinks so. Perfect casting and the actually evolved and refined the characters from the book.

In closing: American Psycho, better book. Fight Club, better movie.

I hated Fight Club. Thought it was the dumbest movie I had ever seen.

shit i even liked the second american psycho over fight club

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » December 8, 2005, 3:20 am

what a piece of trash excuse for a movie fight club is. ooh look at me, I'm a middle class white american. look at how boring my life is. I'm such a nihilist. watch me vent my impotent rage on other college educated pansies who will never know exactly how good we really have it.

blah blah blah.

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » December 8, 2005, 4:40 am

If how good they have it is measured by the size of their wallet, as you seem to infer it is, then yes, they have it "good." Who's to beleaguer somebody for having problems, despite being wealthy? It seems one-dimensional of you to not value their concerns simply because they have ample money.

To me, educated people are far more capable of adapting a nihilistic attitude than the uneducated. Am I wrong? Maybe!

I just don't think it's fair to spite money-bearing people for having problems.

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » December 8, 2005, 2:42 pm

The movie Fight Club made complex social commentary available to the masses in one easy to digest format. It's underlying themes were very powerful and pushed a lot of social buttons. It certianly packed a hell of a punch into 2 hours of viewing.

who said anything about money? were you even replying to me?

it's just the notion of taking the social/economic class that by far has it the easiest in the west and turning them into a bunch of whining shit sacks who have to girl fight with each other in order to express their frustration with "the system"

movie should be called, spoiled white guys clearly miss the point club

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » December 9, 2005, 2:01 am

I didn't really take it as that. It was an enjoyable movie, that is all. From what Hollywood normally comes up with, it was impressive. Just a pretty cool movie is all. I just don't see the point of making anything visceral out of it. Worthy of a DVD buy, I think.

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » December 9, 2005, 2:12 am

Kyoukan:

I merely think that your argument makes it a point to say that money is the key to happiness. And if that's what you're saying, then I disagree. Rich people can still have problems.

Trek · Post by **Trek** » December 9, 2005, 4:00 am

Its a fucking movie

masteen · Post by **masteen** » December 9, 2005, 7:51 pm

Fight Club is about the drive to do something truly meaningful in life. It's about losing yourself in the bullshit distractions of modern life. It's about how easy it is to forget that it's our connection to and effect on other people that really give a life value, and not the contents of your wallet.

I don't know that I totally agree with you, but I do know that I think Kyoukan is totally wrong in her assessment of the movie. Perhaps I've been influenced by reading the book, but I feel like it's about a guy's journey into madness that was probably caused by his cubicle life, but that it isn't really celebrating it. I think it's more an exploration of a guy's twisted mind (that may have been caused by his cubicle life) than it is a statement of some advantaged person raging against the machine.

I could be quite wrong though.
