Brilliant movie, definitely in my very top list of rockin' films. Read the novel it was based on, too. Chuck Palahniuk wrote it.

3 minutes. This is it. Ground zero. Would you like to say a few words to mark the occasion?

Great movie. Possibly the best. Me and my brother have been thinking about that, we think that Office Space might possibly beat it by a little, but not much at all. If you liked Fight Club, you should read Palahniuk's other novels, Survivor and Choke are great too.

With a gun barrel between your teeth you speak only in vowels.
I can't think of anything.

It is the best. And, Office Space does not beat it...not even by a little. I do like that movie, but it lacks Fight Club's psychological intensity. Palahniuk's other novels aren't as good as far as I know.

For a second, I totally forget about Tyler's whole "controlled demolition" thing and I wonder how clean that gun is.
"It's getting exciting now."

You know that old saying, how you always hurt the one you love, well, it works both ways.
We have front row seats for this theater of mass destruction. The Demolitions Committee of Project Mayhem wrapped the foundation columns of a dozen buildings with blasting gelatin. In two minutes, primary charges will blow base charges, and a few square blocks will be reduced to smoldering rubble. I know this, because Tyler knows this.
Two and a half. Think of everything we've accomplished.

And then I realize that all of this: the gun, the bombs, the revolution, has got something to do with a girl named Marla Singer...
Bob. Bob had bitch tits. This was a support group for men with testicular cancer. The big moosey slobbering all over me, that was Bob.
"We're still men."
Yes, we're men. Men is what we are.

Eight months ago, Bob's testicles were removed. Then hormone therapy. He developed bitch tits because his testosterone was too high and his body upped the estrogen. And that was where I fit...
They're gonna have to open my pecs again to drain the fluid.
...between those huge sweating tits that hung enormous, the way you'd think of God's as big.
Okay. You cry now.

No wait, back up. Lemme start over.
For six months, I couldn't sleep. When you have insomnia, nothing's real. Everything's far away. Everything's a copy, of a copy, of a copy.
When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything. The IBM stellarsphere. The Microsoft galaxy. Planet Starbux.
"I need you outta town a little more this week, we've got some red flags to cover."
It must've been Tuesday. He was wearing his cornflower blue tie.
You want me to de-prioritize my current reports until you advise a status upgrade?
"Make these your primary objectives. Here's your flight coupons. Call me from the road if there's any snags."
He was full of pep. Must've had his grandé latté enema.

I have read Fight Club, Choke, and Survivor. They go best to worst in that order, in my opinion, but they are all very good. Seriously.

Like so many others, I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct.
Yes, I'd like to order the Erika Peccary dust ruffles...
Please hold.
If I saw something clever like coffee table in the shape of a yin-yang, I had to have it. The Klipske personal office unit, the Hovertrekke home exer-bike or the Johannshamnh sofa with the Strinne green stripe pattern...even the Rislampa wire lamps of environmentally-friendly unbleached paper. I would flip through catalogs and wonder 'what kind of dining set defines me as a person?'

I had it all. Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof that they were crafted by the honest, simple, hardworking indigenous peoples of...wherever.
"Please Hold."
I was holding.
We used to read pornography. Now it was the Horchop Collection.
"No, you can't die from insomnia."
What about narcolepsy. I nod off, I wake up in strange places, I have no idea how I got there.
"You need to lighten up."

Red-and-blue Tuenols lipstick-red seconals.
No. You need healthy, natural sleep. Chew some valerian root and get more exercise.
Hey, come on. I'm in pain here.
You wanna see pain? Swing by First Methodists Tuesday night. See the guys with testicular cancer. That's pain.

Alice, you liked Choke better than Survivor? I've always thought Survivor was one of the best, second only to Fight Club.
UnicornDream

I did like Choke better than Survivor. The latter became a tad repetitive for my taste, it almost seems like he was trying too hard at points. Don't get me wrong, still an awesome novel.

Huh. Well, either way, they're both excellent.
The only Palahniuk book I didn't really enjoy was Invisible Monsters.

I never did finish that book. I got like 3/4 through it before I had to start reading a book for English, and I never started it again, most people have told me that Invisible Monsters wasn't nearly as good as say Fight Club, Choke, and Survivor....

-I look around this room and I see a lot of courage. And that gives me strength. We give each other strength...It's time for the one-on-one. Let's all of us follow Thomas's example and really open ourselves. Can everyone find a partner?
-And this is how I met the big moosie, his eyes already shrink wrapped in tears. Knees together, those awkward little steps.
-My name is Bob...
-Bob!
No one was continuing so i *gasp* took the plunge. c'mon people! hehe

i loved fight club, at first i thought it would be a cheesy one sided story of a club that held fights, and for some strange reason sold soap (movie cover/ad) but when i saw it, it was real phylosophical and made you think, it changed the way i saw things that happen around me, great movie, i loved it

I watched fight club twice this weekend. I love it. It was brilliant, darkly funny, and really changed the way I look at things.
(Plus, I want to lick Edward Norton....shhh! :p )
