The Rules Of Fight Club
#1 - The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about Fight Club.
#2 - The second rule of Fight Club is, you DO NOT talk about Fight Club.
#3 - If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over.
#4 - Two guys to a fight.
#5 - One fight at a time.
#6 - No shirts, no shoes.
#7 - Fights will go on as long as they have to.
#8 - If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.
Seriously though this is a masterpiece of film. Though one of Chuck Palahniuk's more simple concepts, it is fantastic. The anti consumerism connotations melded with his twisted mind make for great great story telling.
And David Fincher, I'm very very happy with his directing in this. It is very hard to capture everything that is the fight club novel, well anything by Palahniuk - (see 'Choke' for how NOT to do it) and he has done it perfectly (in my opinion better than the book)

Re: Fightclub ..
Let's not be too hasty in calling it a "masterpiece."
I do not like Palahniuk's work one bit, and the movie did little to change that. Sure, a few interesting transitions and "twist" at the end weren't too bad, but the story is shallow as fuck.

My friend actually hates this movie.
He was expecting a Jason Stathem movie.

Re: Fightclub ..
I like it, but it takes like two watches to really understand the movie

#9 - The ninth rule of Fight Club is you do NOT talk about Fight Club. Until the movie is about 10 years old, of course
Re: Fightclub ..
So true it seems this movie is just not getting popular again.

That's okay. We all understand you just love juvenile wish fulfillment movies with delusions of intelligence. There's no need to get defensive.

I'm glad you understand I guess.
Really Im just digging myself deeper into this, so I will just stop. I liked the movie, I thought it was well made.
But Square made a good point about there being lack of story. Its been a while since I watched it so perhaps my views will have changed as well.

The movie's production side is actually not that bad. How the "twist" was revealed at the end was a pretty clever visual trick. That's the obvious one, but the visuals as whole aren't that bad.
Yeah, how they kept flashing Tyler through out the beginning was a neat trick I thought. As well as some of the dialogue choices like the 'sometimes Tyler spoke for me.'
"he fell down some stairs."
'I fell down some stairs."
