It's a bad movie, Ruddock.

I didn't picture your world to be a ranking thread. I knew you caught the virus but I didn't expect it to escalate so fast.

I did this thread dare I say ironically. Of all people I thought you got me.

Though I do enjoy Brad Pitt movies.

This thread is pissing me off.

Meh. Whatever. I hate this place so much I guess I'm just giving up.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Or kill them.

Everything I've heard about college film courses greatly worries me.

Because it's terrible. One of the worst mainstream, movies with a budget that I've ever seen. Just awful.

Except when any college film course is watching Fight Club for any reason. That's how you know things are moving in the right direction.

I mean, I don't hate it or anything, but it's not exactly deep or noteworthy.

Fight Club? I don't know. I think the greatest film of all time is pretty noteworthy.

I get why people like it, I guess. I used to love it.

Guys guys. You're breaking the first rule.

There's not a single movie I've ever seen that is more enriching, more watchable, more interesting and more purely perfect an experience than Fight Club. It's brilliant from top to bottom. Every frame is just outstanding. And if one has read the book, they appreciate what Fincher actually did in that movie all the more. It's a special, special film. But that's all subjective. I could totally understand why a person would disagree. I just can't think of single more fulfilling theatrical film experience.

That's all fair. It's definitely a very focused, watchable movie with a strong style and aesthetic. But these days, for me, I find its thematic substance to be very shallow and ham-fisted. The points it's making about masculinity and modern culture seem too obvious and self-satisifed to be meaningful.

Have you watched it recently? I don't think it holds up that well. It blew my mind when I first watched it, yeah.

I haven't watched in maybe five years. But between 1999 and 2002 I watched it about 40 times. I saw it eight times during it's initial theatrical run.
