1. Definitely Jack...
Beat down by the man in reality, but I like to imagine myself as a radical revolutionary.

I originally thought Raymond K. Hessell, but I actually finished school... and I don't live in a shitty basement apartment.

12. The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club.

15. fight club synop...
'Fight Club - Based on the debut novel by recent University of Oregon graduate Chuck Palanhiuk about a confused young man in the not too distant future. With no family or close friends, he frequents cancer and disease support groups as a way to bond with others, pretending to be terminally ill or feigning various other infirmities to fit in. Sick of his dead end, white bread, white collar corporate career and disgusted with the empty consumer culture that his generation has been doomed to inherit, he and a very devious friend named Tyler Durden create a new club where young men come to relieve their frustrations by beating each other to a pulp. The popularity of this club grows exponentially, and eventually some very profound rules are created to govern it. Because one of those rules is no more than 50 people to a fight club, soon new fight clubs are popping up everywhere and spread across the nation. Tyler Durden, the fight club's founder, quickly becomes a cult hero of epic proportions, a new messiah for a dead generation. While all this is happening, the nameless, narrating main character manages to get involved in a love triangle with Tyler and a girl named Marla who seems to have an endless supply of ex-boyfriends just as screwed up as he is.'

pugilistic post-neo narcissism now! :shrug:

7. Poll Question...
What would be the difference, exactly, between 'Jack' and 'Cornelius'?

I suppose Cornelius could be Norton's character during his focus group addict phase, while Jack would be Norton's character during his Fight Club-Project Mayhem phase.

Interesting that the two options were offered.

Now a question of etiquette...

10. It's company policy not to imply ownership in the event of a dildo
...always use the indefinite article 'a' dildo... never 'your' dildo.

13. Oh yeah!
I'm eternally tickled by the way he looks around to make sure no one else is listening before saying the word 'dildo' for the first time.

"Most of the time it's an electric razor. But once in a while... (looks around, then whispers) it's a DILDO."


A lot of the magic of that movie is in the little things.

14. Southpaw, you're so right.
I mean, where else are you going to see someone slip & fall in human fat in a parking lot at a liposuction clinic?

And I had to rewind the furtive glance before the word "dildo". :rofl: That was a perfectly-cast movie.
