To be fair though, Fight Club is one of those movies that you can't disagree with me on and ruin my day or bother me. I respect all takes on that film. But there just isn't an argument I've ever seen that shows the movie is bad. None that holds any water at all for me.

If folks don't get it or like it, fine. I may not understand it but I'll go ahead and respect your opinion. Doesn't change how I feel and it never will. It's almost a perfect film.

to be fair I saw it when it came out in 99 and never really thought about it once I walked out of the theater..maybe I'll revisit it again

[Rangi Guy]

Have you read the Fight Club 2 graphic novel yet Joey?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I would highly recommend it. But then again, if you didn't like it then, there probably isn't much that now that would change your mind. But I'm always in favor of revisiting Fight Club.

Have you read the Fight Club 2 graphic novel yet Joey?

I have not. Not sure I need it. And I'm worried it will just end up bumming me out more than adding anything to what I love about the original. Maybe someday.

I'm kind of in the same boat - I'm really intrigued by it, but don't want it to ruin the legacy of a great story. I'll hunt it out one of these days

[BurtReynolds]

I still think ed Norton was the only real character in the movie.

[Rangi Guy]

Any movie where Jared Leto gets beat the fuck up is tops in my book

I personally grew disenchanted with it. I loved it and watched it often when it came out. But over the years, I found the underlying message of the film to be sort of a joke -- which I believe is part of Palahniuk's intent, though I initially took it very literally because I was young and in my mohawk phase -- and once I understood that, it began to feel like a really, really good looking, but ultimately silly, movie. Great performances all around, supercool atmosphere, but with the loss of the deeper meaning I used to attach to it, I sort of felt like I was just watching a NIN video.

What I love about the film has very little to do with its message. The themes are much more interesting to me than the message, which I feel like probably change depending on who the viewer is.

I never had a mohawk phase (not sure what that has to do with this film) but I find the themes of the movie are more meaningful as life goes on. Just two nights ago I had a very great talk with a friend of mine about personal growth and Depak Chopra that actually tied really well into Fight Club. So....

Whatever. That thing meant a lot to me as a 19 year old and it means perhaps even more to me as a 36 year old.

And apart from any messages or statements it's making, the film is just so beautiful and smart and well shot and infinitely rewatchable. I just don't have any negative things to say about it. And I've seen the movie over 100 times in my life.

Rangi gets it.

I'm totally in camp Joey on this one - so much so it's made me completely get over the Inglorious Basterds rift that was about to blow up
