Fight Club

A bit too late for me - work in the morning. :(

I watched the first half of this movie several times and hated it. A friend kept telling me to watch it all, cos I'd like it, so I finally found the time (and the stomach) to watch it all, and realised just how good it is.

Worth a watch, definitely, but I wish they'd show it an hour earlier.
 
This along with Twelve Monkeys is about the only 2 films I can stomach watching Bradders in. Other than that he's just an overpaid pretty boy.

Meatloaf is pretty cool :D
 
Really? What about Seven? Or Kalifornia? I think he got his break through his looks but he has strived to break that image of him as a pretty boy and I thought he had done quite well. Even though I am incredibly jealous of his history with women
 
I preferred Seven.

Am I the only one that didn't like Fight Club? :confused: I just couldn't get into it at all. Maybe I need to rewatch it.
 
Yeah maybe you do as Fight Club is one of my favourite films and I think it just get better and better the more times you watch it!
I thought Brad Pitt was good as well in his cameo in True Romance which is another one of my favourite film that I think is a very unrated film!
 
I didn't like fight club either! tbh I think it's sooo over rated, I found it kinda long and tedious but then they did show it pretty late. I coudn't relate to any of the characters, and I really didnt like the twist, or maybe i just didnt get it, it was kinda confusing. Either way not my kinda movie or nearly as gripping as i thought it would be.
 
I disagree. I'm a woman and I didn't fancy it because of the (apparent) subject matter, but my sister, whose judgment I trust, recommended it, so I watched it last time it was on TV (and again this time). While I didn't enjoy the bloodthirstiness, I recognize that it was necessary, and I enjoyed the film, because there was a lot more to it than just a straightforward gorefest.

My favourite Brad Pitt film, by a mile, is A River Runs Through It - a beautifully made, very moving film. BP has never looked so good, nor been so good, in any other film, in my view, partly because the role fitted him like a glove, and partly because Robert Redford, as director, truly understood him and his appeal.
 
Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie goRAB, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very p!ssed off.

Hey, you can't read that and say it's not true.
Brilliant film. Classic.
:cool:
