Rank the Brad Pitt Movies

[epilogue]

Sound like you latched on to some of the more transient or superficial aspects of the story to begin with. Which I totally understand. I've done that many many many times with my art.

Those things were never especially interesting to me from the beginning. So the plot, characters, dialogue (which is just outstanding writing) and themes resonated in a big way. On top of that, it's excellence as an adaptation plays into my love as well. If the thing had been an original idea I might like it a tad less. But what it does as an adaptation, the way to manipulates one medium and expands the ideas/concepts/world of the book in the way only a visual medium like film can... MAN ALIVE! Fucking brilliant.

I wish every film adapted from a book could do what Fight Club does. It's so special.

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

[epilogue]

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

Rangi gets it.

I'm being serious, btw. That's actually one the elements of the film that makes it so fucking brilliant to me. The casting of this thing is just other-worldly good. It adds one more layer to an already phenomenal story/movie.

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.

Yea, I agree it's a fantastic adaptation of the book, which I wasn't super crazy about. I wish they had made that Survivor adaptation with Kevin Spacey that was getting mentioned some years back.

It is one of those rare occasions where I thought the film did a better job than the book

An adaptation of Survivor could be outstanding. But it's a much MUCH more difficult tastk. And Kevin Spacey should have nothing to do with it, outside of producing MAYBE.

I don't recall ever hearing his name attached but if he was that makes the no-go way better, I think.

Me too.

Outside of the ending. I actually LOVED the ending to the book and was meh about the ending to the movie. It worked well for the film but I think the book's ending is better.
