I saw Fight Club!
Hah!
Now I know why some of you guys are always mentioning it here. I loved it.
The things you own own you.
Rule one, never tell anyone you're trying to ERE!

Yeah, I love that movie. Very anti-consumerism and it's done extremely well.
Re: I saw Fight Club!
Love that movie. The book is even better.

Re: I saw Fight Club!
Loved the movie, they book was essentially a screenplay.
By that i mean usually, when you read a book, and see the movie, there's alot more in the book. this is the only example i can think of, where the movie was better. also, watch it a 2nd time, it's a whole new movie, there is so much more the second time around, like the door closing, covered in drivers licenses!

Re: I saw Fight Club!
I agree with riggerjack. This is the only movie I've seen that is better than its book.
Re: I saw Fight Club!
I would submit that The Last of the Mohicans should also make the list of movies better than the book.

Looks like I'm the only one who didn't like that they cast Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden.
Re: I saw Fight Club!
This reminds me of this book I saw -- "The Cinema of Generation X." Has anybody read it per chance:

I think so, as I thought he was great in Fight Club. He acted well and I thought a "pretty" guy was a great pick for that role.Felix wrote:Looks like I'm the only one who didn't like that they cast Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden.
Re: I saw Fight Club!
I get the idea, and it was perfectly executed with Brad Pitt, I give them that. I would just have preferred someone with a more broken image like Mickey Rourke for example as that was what I had in mind reading the book. Apart from that, the movie was perfect. I agree with all of you on that.

Gotta give Brad Pitt credit, he voluntarily chipped his tooth for the role. Impressive.

Wow, I didn't know that. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, and I agree, I thought it was a lot better than the book, and I'm a Palahniuk fan.skinnyninja wrote:Gotta give Brad Pitt credit, he voluntarily chipped his tooth for the role. Impressive.
I think I'm the only woman I know that likes that movie!
Re: I saw Fight Club!
Edith, I love the movie too - it's one of about five DVDs I own (because they're movies I will watch over and over again). It's something I get something from each time I watch it, not just plot-wise but in terms of thinking about the world a little more. There's a part of me that hopes there's a real fight club out there, not so much for the fighting but the philosophy behind it.
Of course, blowing up a bank or even all the major banks these days would do nothing to them in terms of their long-term profits - they'd just have to rebuild the buildings and the assets within them. If Fight Club was set today, I think they'd be a bunch of hackers who hooked into someone else's internet connection instead.

Or maybe it would be a group who starts a movement that disrupts the system one person at a time without actually doing any overt damage to it.mrswinter wrote: If Fight Club was set today, I think they'd be a bunch of hackers who hooked into someone else's internet connection instead.

Lentil Club! Haha, I'm stealing that one.
Re: I saw Fight Club!
That would be the best way to effect change, I think - but also the least effective for the majority, if that makes sense. A lot of people need major change, or major shocks to their system, to really adapt or think about their own lives. How many people on ERE have tried to talk to someone else about it, only to have that person continue to live exactly as before, not even taking a grain of wisdom from it?Ego wrote:Or maybe it would be a group who starts a movement that disrupts the system one person at a time without actually doing any overt damage to it.mrswinter wrote: If Fight Club was set today, I think they'd be a bunch of hackers who hooked into someone else's internet connection instead.
