Fight Club
-
I saw the movie fight club for the first time on Friday.
This is totally breaking the first and second rules of Fight Club, but…
That's the best thing I've ever seen! Shame on all of you for not forcing me to watch it sooner.
I hereby proclaim a royal decree as king of all the hearts that you must all watch or re-watch Fight Club before next Wednesday. That's your homework.
-
Seriously.
I like you a little less knowing you JUST watched Fight Club.
I'm banning you for the sake of the server.

Book reading from Palahniuk in NYC for his latest, Tell-All. Will be there tomorrow if the tickets come through, like they should.
For those not familiar with the author, read Haunted. It may get a bit dull, but one of the stories, by St. Gutfree, made me laugh incredibly hard, and the depravity is pretty intense in parts.
Also worth a look are Choke, and Survivor. He writes characters that are so flawed as human beings, it's nice to have a protagonist I don't want to punch in the face for being written as the perfect human being.
It goes without saying that you should pick up Fight Club and give it a read as well.
-
I hope you watched it on blu-ray

Chuck Palanuik is my hero. I recently familiarized myself with most of his works. I thought fight club was the first thing I exposed myself with, but as it turned out I actually read haunted in the seventh grade. <_<
My favorite so far however is a coin toss between fight club and lullaby…
Also, on another note, which ending do you think was better? The fight club book? Or the fight club movie? I honestly have trouble deciding.

I like it when Brad Pitt goes, "Is that what a real man looks like?" when they're looking at a Calvin Klein advert.
-
Go read the book now.

Thanks for giving me another good reason to watch one of my favorite movies, KoH.

Bitch tits.

Haunted is 'ok'. Survivor is great, and probably moreso because I read it after 'Fight Club' and so the whole split personality theme was running in my head and made me read 'Survivor' in a way that I imagined the same possibility.
However, I do believe that he is a bit overhyped. King has long had a better skill at character development and using horror/gore in a way that never comes across as pure gratuity/shock value. -

Oh dear Lord, someone shoot me now. Head shot, please. NOW

Personally, I love the "Its only when you lose everything, that you are able to do anything."
