    Ooh, sorry man. I have to say I didn't make it through Fight Club, I found it nauseating in the extreme. I mean as cool as Brad Pitt is, that Edward guy is equally a nob. I just found myself twitching at the sheer crapness of it. Watch One flew over the cuckoos nest or something, and then you'll know what a good movie is-Jack will cure you. JUK

    OK you have every right to say you don't like the movie, but to call it all of that is just dumb. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest? You gotta be kidding me...that dumb fucking indian?! THAT my friend is a slow meandering shit of a film. All due credit is due towards Wack-O Jack-he is the King but his talent could have been better used elsewhere.

    I guess I didn't 'get it', but what was to get? I just remember a pretty naff movie about young men who liked to have a scrap, so they went to a basement or something and, well, had a scrap. Maybe I missed the stark social comment, but I didn't write it off because of Brad Pitt-I think he's a pretty cool guy, but that other guy didn't look like he could punch his way out of a wet paper bag! I just thought it was awful, weak, far fetched and pretty desperate. I couldn't see any story.But like you said each to his own.

    Ok, now I "get it" you didn't even sit through the whole movie to find out what all the "scrapping" was about because there are volumes more to that story that weren't even touched upon in the film, but if you watched to the end you would've found a lot more to what was going on. I'm sorry you didn't find it as enlightening as it can be but some people just aren't meant to be.
    The book was the biggest load of crap I ever read. The movie was brilliant. God knows how David Fincher made such an amazing film out of that piece of glorified toilet paper.

    And you, you just pop in this thread, not adding anything to the actual purpose, to slam this one post? Stating that you got the movie but the book sucked...that is completely backasswards my friend and makes no sense.

    Fight Club is a book with a film companion for a generation of anyone who can't stand that shit hand they've been dealt but aren't gonna sit around and wallow in it like a pansy. It's about doing something more to make a better life for yourself, to feel something more even if it's just for a second, a minute, or a lifetime. If you can't understand that then you must not even be worth it.


    No offense to anyone either, just venting I guess. It's a near and dear subject close to my heart :D

    Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

    No offence taken, don't worry. But One flew over the cuckoos nest is really an excellent movie, the Indian is just one character. Surely it's tag line is around Jack and Nurse Rachett/the system-he's pushing it (the system) to get his own way, no one thinks he's crazy-Rachett just seems a nasty bitch. But after all the twists, ultimately you're left with a question-Was she right, was he crazy?he tried to kill her after all. Or was it her spite that just made him snap, maybe she was crazy? There's much more to it than you say, and the acting throughout is wonderful-some great debuts there, Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd. Anyway, Fight Club sucks as far as I am concerned-Why didn't they join a boxing school, or become hoodlums if they wanted a scrap? JUK

  • I haven't read through the thread yet but this one is a classic and one of my all time favs.

    From The Network:

    Howard Beale: I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
    Howard Beale: [shouting] You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,
    [shouting]
    Howard Beale: 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:
    Howard Beale: [screaming at the top of his lungs] "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

    two reasons why i named my cat after Brodie Bruce: :D


    "Man, not a year goes by, not a year...that I don't read about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid, that could've been easily avoided had some parent-- I don't care which one-- But some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!"




    "But they're engaged."

    "Doesn't matter, it can't happen. "

    "Why not ? It's bound to come up."

    "It's impossible. Lois could never have superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle his sperm ? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb ? You think it's strong enough to carry his child ? "

    "Sure. Why not ? "

    "He's an alien, for christ's sake ! His kryptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan, the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like wonder woman has a strong-enough uterus to carry his kid. Only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom, but that would kill him. "

    I couldnt find it on the web but i love the speech that Matt Damon gives in Good Will Hunting at the interview, when he's talking about basically why he doesnt want the job working for the governemnt. Really clever and really funny.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    Well I'll give you that their were a few good performances in the supporting roles and maybe I just need to give it another viewing with a more open mind.

    The reason they joined this club was to break away from the rules and confinements of any ordinary school or gang. It was on their own terms and to their own needs and uses, but the next step of this "club" was what was primarily being worked towards and you didn't finish the movie, so you didn't get the whole picture of where it was going.

    To each his own! :D

    Basically...Ed Norton's character gets busted for selling drugs. He is sentenced to jail for like 10 years and it shows his last day as a free man.
    It's a simple idea, but a great movie.
    Tremendous dialog and extremely well written.

  • But my favorite 15/20 of a movie is the part with Mr. X(Donald Sutherland) in 'JFK'. He talks about how he was one of those secret guys in the pentagon and talks about what really happened in Dallas and the coverup. Even though it was all a bunch of bullshit, it was great fiction. I know it almost word for word.

    Al Pacino as Lt. Col. Frank Slade in The Scent of a Woman

    Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his soul! And why? Because he's not a Bairdman. Bairdmen. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, FUCK YOU TOO!
