1. You should know you don't talk about the Fight Club.
It IS the first rule... :evilgrin:

4. This movie is a classic.
Edward Norton fighting himself, hurting himself hits home to a self-multilator like myself. S.I.B. (self injurious behavior) is what they called it in the mental institutions I was in and it's very common.

5. I think the title of the movie turns off a lot of people.
I have introduced a lot of people to this movie.

8. Right, it doesn't really give you a real idea of what the movie is about
I know that before seeing it I thought it was going to be some stupid movie about macho guys running an underground boxing thing. That's obviously slightly reflective of the plot but in no way gives a real appreciation of the complexities of the movie.

9. Yes, my dad said, "Isn't it just a bunch of guys beating each
other up?" No! This is about mental illness, identity, insomnia, and wage slavery.

6. New movie coming out this summer by the same writer
Chuck Palahniuk, new movie is called Choke. Palahniuk is really bizarre so I'm looking forward to checking out the new movie.

7. Nice. Thanks for the information.
Probably going to be better than the new Edward Norton/Hulk thing. I love Norton, but come on... It's been done.

11. I saw it a year+ after it came out... Hubby saw it opening week.
He never told me how much I NEEDED to see it. I thought it was a stoooopid 'Guy Movie' (the title certainly implies it). I watched it twice in 6 hours.

It is in my Top Ten movies.
