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 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.

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.

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.
