Fight Club

Never seen it before and it just happenned to be on late last night.

I just hope the last half of the film is better than the first, I gave up after an hour - decided I'd rather get some kip (I did watch the Aussie GP live).

I just wasn't getting it - was I missing something due to tiredness or is it just plain crap?

No, it's very confusing until about 3/4 through. You can borrow the dvd if you want though

One of the greatest films of all times IMHO!!

If you have a multi region player, I can lend it to you. A little slow in places, but worth it!

I guess it's one of those films you either loved or hated. Personally I found it to be the biggest puile of sh1te since "The Piano".

I'd rather have a night out on alcohol-free beer that watch that again.

Fantastic film, the book (and Palahniuk's other books) are even better. You really need to watch it all for it to make any sense though.

One of my all time favourite films. The amount of crap this film took when it was first released was amazing, because so many people didn't get it (many critics included). It has nothing to do with a fight club

As MJW says - you should read the book too.

Just talking about this at work today... how it really has nothing to do with a fight club

.

I didn't get it the first time I watched it. Watched it again and "got it" at the end. Watched it again knowing what was going on and it changed my perspective of the film, and I've watched it about 2 more times since! Great film.

the key is to watch it as many times as possible until the penny drops, then watch it again.

So what's the bobby then?

I know Pitt is really Norton and he's going round the country setting up his revolutionary blowing **** up stuff but what's it really about if it's not about that?
