Book/Movie: Fight Club

Quote :

Fight Club is a 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The book follows the experiences of an anonymous protagonist struggling with his way of life and changes in American pop-culture masculinity. To overcome this, he forms a bond with a mysterious anarchist named Tyler, and establishes an underground fighting club as radical psychotherapy.

I've already broken the first and second rules of Fight Club by talking about it, but this is one of my favorite books. The movie was great too.

I haven't seen it all but so many people talk about it.
I should watch it all one day...

You must! But I suggest reading the book first. It helps when trying to understand the movie. XD

I love the movie, but I've never read the book.
It is on my "To Read" list though

For all i've heard of it, i've never actually been told what Fight Club is actually about!

The answer's in the name!
I don't want to explain it because I think, to understand it, you have to watch it. It's worth it - there are bits where you're thinking, "Hold on, what the fu-" because you wonder why you didn't spot these things before.

I first saw it last year and did one of my University essays on it this year <3

I read the book ages ago, and bought the DVD a couple of weeks ago, but I -still- haven't watched it. I've only heard good things about it though. :]

FIGHT CLUB!!!!! is the only movie Brad Pitt is sexy in!!! In my opinion at least.

But seriously, I love fighters. I think men that are fit as hell, that can take a punch, and get back up like it's no problem is sexy. and plus scars/bruises are totally hott.

He was hot in Mr. and Mrs. Smith too, xD
But I agree with you about the fighter thing.
Tyler Durden is my hero.

he was alright in Mr. and Mrs. Smith...but once he took his shirt off in Fight Club.... yeah, i just about died!!! Him as Tyler Durden=love. and not to mention Edward Norton was pretty hott in that movie too:)

XD You're fine, fixed it.

Ah! Jared.
I loved him in it...even though he looked funny with blonde hair. xD
"His name is Robert Pulson. His name is Robert Pulson." AKA Meatloaf.
I liked him in this almost as much as him in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

meatloaf was in rocky horror?! 0_e who?! bearing in mind ive seen it once! i need to see it again,anywho.

i remember talking to my maths teacher in year eight about this film

is the book as good as the film? im a reading addict atm

Book was better than the film I thought, but the movie made it easier to understand it.
Ha, yeah he was! He was the guy on the motorcycle. I think his name was Riff Raff. I tried looking for the vid on youtube but they're all taken down.

^ Wasn't he Eddie..? I think Riff Raff was the creepy servant-type guy.

I still haven't watched the movie, so I can't compare (yet), but I love the book; it's one of my favourites.

Ah, you're right! God it's been ages since I've seen that movie.

Tbh, I only really know because I watched it again a couple of nights ago. xD
/offtopic.

/double post

So, I had a night off, and finally got around to watching the movie. Omg. I love it. So, so much.
I'm kicking myself for not watching it sooner. Helena Bonham Carter is fantastic as Marla, I really loved her.
The movie definitely makes it easier to understand, even if it is still complicated, but it didn't feel like it took anything away from the story, either. It was just really well done, imo.
