Is Fight Club (1999) a shit movie? Watching now.

[guest]

I haven't seen it since I was in my teens. I thought it was based! And redpilled. It stars Brad Pitty and Josiah Munoz. I'd also like to hear @LingerLonger 's thoughts on this movie.

Movie starts off by making fun of testicular cancer patients as a bunch of crying pussies and literal cucks. IT'S A PRO-MEN FILM, GUYS. GENUINELY.

"The corporations, mahhhnnnn."

I heard a theory that Marla Singer is just a figment of his imagination as well, and I agree with that. She's at the fucking testicular cancer meeting for fucks sake. Somebody would've said something. It was the narrator's guilty conscience for going to all those support meetings; she was his mirror. And she definitely wouldn't be allowed to smoke in meetings with people with cancer.
I'll say this... the movie has me hooked. It's engaging. I'm not bored.

"When people think you're dying, they really listen to you, instead of just waiting for your turn to speak." Damn. Deep. Sniff.

Her walking through traffic and not getting hit is another sign she isn't real.

Brad Pitt seemed way cooler the first time I watched this. I'd rather hang out with Edward Norton's neurotic ass now.

I bet Tyler Durden is how Pat sees himself.

Tyler puts frames of pornography into family films. There's a scene where a little girl in the audience is crying. Tyler is a jew.

Okay forget it, I've decided this film is shit and I'm tapping out now.

I kinda hate The Matrix, too. The agent who is a program played by Hugo Weaving has more personality than a real man, Keanu Reeves. People like Keanu now for the John Wick movies, but he shitted up so many movies in the 90s.

WWAW so many movies parodying the Matrix camera spin thing in the early 2000s? Shrek, Kung Pow, Scary Movie... many more. Cringy looking back now.

Eh I still think that movie slaps tbh. I get what you're saying about Keanu but his dullard personality is kind of perfect for that role.

All the sequels were absolute shite though, especially the latest one.

I just rewatched it. Not a bad movie. But if you're so engaged and not bored why are you posting?

I only like The Matrix in the same way I do a Schwarzenegger movie. The premise is fine for a sci-fi action film. But people act like it's deep, like Fight Club is some deep movie for the Western male. They're not.

As far as Keanu being perfect for the role... well, Edward Norton would've been better as Neo. The guy either has or can portray a certain personality. Keanu - nice guy though he may be - is retarded. I don't even buy Keanu as a guy who would work in a cubicle.

From that era, I'd say Brendan Fraser films are better. George of the Jungle and The Mummy clapped, child.

It’s a good question. Its deep man, like real deep.

You’re not your job, man.
The things you own end up owning you, man.
I wanted to destroy something beautiful, man.
Self improvement is masturbation, man.
Let’s blow up the credit card companies, man.

I used to think it was amazing, but now I think it sniffs it’s own farts. “Consumerism is bad, man” isn’t that deep of a message anymore. Especially since consumerism has gone beyond just owning lots of things to people becoming literal simps for corporations that put out shittier products than before, like Disney.

It’s enjoyable but it meant more to me as a kid than as an adult.

 

[BoringFaggot]

I remember watching it as a little kid and I had no idea what was going on.

The first Mummy is great. Rachel Weisz needs be added to the Alliance..

Mmmm... Jewish beef...

I liked The Game more than Fight Club.

I have to say i really enjoy the John Wick movies its just senseless violence and action, and Reeves did a lot of weapons training and shit to make his role in the action scenes realistic.

 

[Raymond]

I think it's great entertainment. As an adult you have to watch it as a comedy though. I don't even think that movie takes itself all that serious.

 

[satanssockpuppet]

It's one of those movies that seems less deep and more flawed the more times you see it. It has some great individual scenes, though.

And I don't know why. I watched the first one and it was boilerplate revenge-story pulp with Keanu underacting the whole time as usual. They killed his dog! Fuck off.

I haven’t seen this movie in a long ass time but I remember the girl ordering food at that diner and the waiter (the singer from Live) responding to her so I don’t think she was imaginary.

Fight Club makes a lot more sense when you know that it's based on a book written by a gay man.

Bret Easton Ellis is also some kind of a shirt lifter, but American Psycho is a great movie. I've heard the book is way more graphic and was banned in Germany.

Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis are both fucking great writers and seem to be pretty based dudes. They both seem to fall under the umbrella of blokes who just happen to like dick, like our Carol, rather than the annoying effeminate attention-seekers like Pat, Anthony or Norton.

The book of American Psycho is definitely way more graphic than the film. You have pages of descriptive sadistic murder. There's one passage that's about three pages of Bateman describing smearing an unfortunate woman's vagina with cheese before sticking a plastic habitrail up her and releasing a rat he's starved for a few days to do its worst. You can kind of see why it provoked such a vitriolic reaction upon release. But it's also a brilliantly dark and blackly funny satire that's gutsy and shocking in equal measure.
