FINALLY Saw It!! - First Rule Of Fight Club? It Sucks ASS
Edited on Sat May-21-05 08:57 PM by matcom
:eyes:

although the "flash" of the c*ck in the last frame was SLIGHTLY amusing (considering the early "plot" setup)

:wtf: is the attraction to this piece of SHITE?

tried to look at it as some kind of cult flick. nada.
tried to look at it as some kind of spoof flick. nada.
tried to look at it as some kind of silly fun. nada.

i just wasted over 2 hours of my evening on this STUPID piece of crap.

IF you can enlighten me on WHY this was even worth my time, i'm all ears. Otherwise........ :puke: :eyes:

1. Well, I didn't loathe it as much as you, but I sure didn't see what the
hype was all about :).

I'd watch it again if I was bored, but I don't think it's a great movie by any means.

2. I didn't think it was all that great either.
Not bad, but not as great as some people make it out to be. I hear the book is better. :shrug:

3. See, now, I think the reason you weren't impressed is that
you've been to GD during the campaign season.

It's not in my top ten, but it's in my next tier of great movies.

5. Like the Matrix, it was too green
Edited on Sat May-21-05 09:05 PM by tridim
and way over-hyped. It certainly wasn't deep, but I admit I enjoyed it on a reptilian brain level. Mostly because I love Ed Norton.

Edit: I'm not saying Ed Norton is a reptile. :P

6. What the fuck is wrong with you?
It fucking kicked ass, no pun intended.

He SOLD them soap made from the fat off their own ASSES?

It was counterculture, completely.

And he was him.

Eh. Nevermind.

13. It's been a while since I saw the movie
But I remember digging it on a mentally ill, counter cultural level. I think you just have bad taste in movies.

14. "I think you just have bad taste in movies."
That's exactly what I was thinking...

It wasn't the greatest movie ever, but well written, well acted, fantastic cinematography, cool little effects, a bit jittery, interesting story, nifty surprise, able to relate to Ed Norton throughout.

I didn't understand the ending though - why shooting a whole through his mouth would exorcise him of Brad Pitt. I guess I missed something.

16. Yeah, you did, watch it again.
I won't say anything else because it would ruin it for those who haven't seen it.

And WHO hates a movie that has Meatloaf with man tits in it? Sheesh. You'd think matcom would like it for THAT reason alone.

Gah!

Well give me a hint. To be honest I've seen it several times, and I still don't get it, and usually I'm not a movie idiot.

22. "The next person on this thread who disses Fight Club gets a...LEAD SALAD!
It was an incredible movie...cinematography, effects, performances, writing... and it is THE definitive "Generation X" movie.

It's my favourite film, tied with "Wings of Desire".

How many movies are about rejecting corporate culture and materialism? Its very subversive. I loved it.

...Captain Janeway meets Spock and has to endure Clark Gable burning down Atlanta while killing Bambi was the high-point of the film.

Maybe THAT's what he meant when he said "My Deer, I don't give a Dam"
