In a word, Fight Club f*cking ROCKS! Okay, that's a few words. I would love to be able to write something as original, creative and memorable as the Fight Club script. I've lost count in how many times I've seen Fight Club. What really makes this movie so damn entertaining, beyond the obvious things, is that I am always finding little things that I've never noticed before. I just love how the movie just moves along with no clear idea of what it is and where it's going. Yes, you can say it's about starting Fight Club, but you still don't know what the objective is of either Ed Norton or Brad Pitt's characters. And just when you get a handle on where it's going, the story takes a 180° turn by giving us the mother of all twists. Having it revealed that Tyler Durden are one and the same in the mind of Norton's character immediately makes the viewer go back in one's own mind and start replaying out scenes, looking for anything that would tip you off and give you a clue that the answer was there all along. See what happened there? The story calls into question Ed's own mind, which makes us dive into our on mind to question everything that has been happening. Tricky. 

It's just a fascinating film to watch. Both Pitt and Norton are great in this one and I do think this is Pitt's best film ever. Helena Bonham Carter is great too, but the real star is of course David Fincher. The visual style and the way the film was edited definitely changed the course of Hollywood. I noticed a lot of other director's trying to emulate the Fincher look soon after, but not quite succeeding.  I remember the uproar this movie caused when it came out and even though it's been 15 years since then, it still packs a wallop. It may not get the press it once did because over time we have become jaded, but that doesn't take away from what the end result is here: a Masterpiece of film making.

I'm glad that I decided to watch this tonight. It's given me an adrenaline shot into my typewriter. My writing as of late has been in a rut and watching this has reinvigorated me with some new ideas and I can't wait to get them down on paper. Where it goes, that remains to be seen, but the fact that Fight Club has taken me out writing a certain way and giving me another direction to go makes me feel like I have already won. This is one of those DVD's I will never sell, never get rid of. Definitely a must-Buy.

I think whoever draws the books better do a kick ass job of making the characters look exactly like them for the very reason you mentioned. If they don't, I'll just get Entertainment Weekly and cut and paste photos of them over their heads.

Dig it up. Would like to check it out.
