Tyler Durden/Fight Club #1: The hottest alter-ego in existence

This movie was such a mind job. Took me a couple weeks to get over the shock value of the ending. And for those who haven't seen it...well...sorry for kind of spoiling you. See it today!

Alrighty...so, start posting!

Ed Norton and Brad were such the dynamic duo. It was such a good movie. I kind of had a feeling I knew what it was about because I heard it was shocking, but I still loved it.

It was on sale the other week at Target and I was going to buy it but I was broke.

it was on sale here, too. i wasn't broke, luckily!
i love that movie. at first, i said i'm never gonna watch it, it's all about fighting, it's nothing for me. then, one night i was desperate & couldn't find a movie to rent so i picked the only brad movie i hadn't seen & it's a good thing i did.
this movie is so much more than fighting! omg! it's brilliant!
i just rewatched it the other night, actually.

ps: we're breaking rules #1 & #2.

Do you know that while this movie was still in the cinema Rosie O'Donell gave up the ending on national tv.. Brad and Ed Norton were furious, I would've been also!

This is one heck a movie. I've looked for the special edition high and low and will finally get it on Amazon. I tried buying in the regular way but I could only find the standard DVD version, which is good, but not so when you know there's one even better out there.

This is one of the few movies with Brad in it that I actually haven't seen yet. I don't know why... everybody always had a comment to make about it after seeing it. Maybe I'll rent it some day...

Are you serious? That is so stupid. Never was a Rosie fan but you can't give the ending away on a movie like that.

Excalibur: You need to see the movie. Go out and rent it now.

i wanted to get the special edition but it was ridiculously expensive. pretty much three times the price of the standard dvd.

Amazon.com, my darlings.

But yeah, I loved how no-nonsense, sexy-and-he-knew-it Tyler was...even if he wasn't real.

FU, Rosie. Why the hell would she do that??? Moron...

Yup. I remember reading that the whole movie staff was put off by the stupidity but there was nothing they could do.

The movie is good, it needs to watched by everyone at least once. The subject is not meant to be taken seriously but that doesn't diminish the movie's power when it's hacking away at our insecurities and shinning the light on the darker side all of us have.

Of course the resolution is not acceptable but it doesn't mean it's not fun on a screen.

I would have been put off by her stupidity too. It's common sense. The ending is shocking, you don't spoil it.

I honestly think this is most honest thing I have heard about the movie. It's so true. You nailed it.

This movie rocks, hence why I've got it on DVD.

I loved the violence in the movie.

I just didn't care for Tyler with that girl upstairs having sex. That's always the part I have to skip in case my dad walks in.

...that's one of the funniest parts. Mostly because of Ed Norton's reactions.

I tend to skip that part, because if my parents walked in, they would be very confused.

I wish Ed and Brad would do another movie together.
