Fight Club

Y'know, one of my favorite movies.


There's a surprising number of people who didn't know it was based on the amazing book by Chuck Palahnuik. Anyone here read it?

i am not a movie memorabelia person, but i would LOVE to have one of those in flight safety flyers that he looks at on the plane. the one with everyone on fire, and screaming and running. that always makes me chuckle.

Re: Fight Club

I second that one, man. I've seen the movie a million times, and every time I do, I pull out the book within a couple of nights.

Kindof a funny story how I picked up the book- A psychologist I saw a couple years back handed it to me. Christmas gift, he said, and it might prove some insight into the mindset I was in.

When I finish up with college, I intend on doing it to one of my patients.

Honestly though, 5 stars for both of 'em.

Re: Fight Club

I've read the book a number of times and watched the movie close to 100 times and I think the book is 10x better

Re: Fight Club

Man'o'man, Jimmy. Seems like we've got the same movie taste. Marley and Me was fantastic.

And, I don't know about ALL books being better then the movie. I'm probably going to catch some heck for this but I thought 1408 the movie proved to be a bit better then the book.

Might just be me though

Re: Fight Club

haven't read the book but the movie was very cool. I like the fighting and the schizo thing, but not the anti-capitalist theme that make hippies creme thier cordoroys. If that was even the theme, come to think of it I was drinking while watching this ha.
