We were no longer "good society."

this started out funny and of course there’s all the hotties. but judging by the promo posters the actual movie “fight club” was something between a complete waste of time and a thinly veiled homosexual dream interpretation. so thanks anyway. i retook my life at about 00:00:43.

[EveningStar]

I’ve never seen Fight Club. I thought this would be amusing to those who have.

The feminazis try to claim Jane Austen for their own.

But Jane Austen was actually a staunch upholder of traditional mores, male/female roles, and the traditional approach to courtship and of course, marriage.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say she was conservative (well, she is by today’s standards), but she did nothing to promote the doctrine of the modern feminazi.

[Borges]

Austen was the first to depict marriage not just as a happy conclusion tacked on at the end but as a complicated triangulation of socio-economic and moral issues.

FC was a brilliant Swiftian satire.

FC was a brilliant Swiftian satire.

Clearly too sublime for a hack like me.

[ThunderSleeps]

I enjoyed FC. Sure, it's kind of a messed-up movie on a number of levels, but still not bad.

This youtube parody is funny has heck. Looks like a few young ladies finally found something to do with all those old, ugly bridesmaid dresses they've accumulated. ;-) Put 'em on and make fun of their boy friends' and husbands' mindless testosterone fuelled action/adventure movies.

"What?" he asked innocently.

OMGoodness, that was a riot. Hubby and I really liked Fight Club.

Well, except for the schizophrenia.

[Borges]

You just saw those clips from it and nothing else? Doesn’t begin to describe it.

[Richard Kimball]

So this thread complies with rule 1, rule 2, and rule 34.

[TheOldLady]

Goodness. I can't believe this thread isn't at 200 posts by now. I guess Fight Club is <valley girl> soooo last century. </valley girl>

I was taking some college classes a few years back and the lit teacher gave us the choice between reading and doing essays on Fight Club or some book from the Oprah Book Club. It was unanimous. The author is a twisted, twisted man but he can write.
