Fight club
« on: March 21, 2008, 03:30:16 AM »
Wow I saw that movie finally. I was thinking it was going to be sorta good, NOPE! It may have been because I was tired, but I could not keep up with ANY part of it. It really really really really really confused me.

I wasted like 3 hours of my life I could have been wasting on dying in the P-39  :lol

The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes

Don't take it the wrong way, but you are completely insane to not get that movie.  It's the best. :aok

The first rule of fight club is it's an awful movie.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

It was way better than I expected.
Nice to see Meatloaf with a haircut. And boobs.

I was disappointed by the fact that nobody in the movie knew how to fight.

Great film, but if you waited until after 9/11/01 to see it, then you missed your chance to really get it without being confused by all sorts of strange emotions and hysteria.

Why not read the book? The movie is good and as in most cases, the book is better. Then, head to your local library to read some more Chuck Palahniuk.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Good movie.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

I doubt that many kids would be able to relate to any of the characters. Watch it again in ten years, angels.

Then you missed one of the main points of the plot. I suppose you are some kind of ninja, right?

 :lol Ninja? You watch too many movies. I like fight scenes that are realistic. None in that movie really were. A real fight doesn't make good cinematography though. It's very, very rare to find a movie with a fight that looks real. I enjoyed the movie, but those guys couldn't fight their way out of a wet, paper bag.

As for me, I train MMA 3-4 days a week when I'm not traveling. Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and some Vale Tudo (anything goes). All full-resistance grappling, and full-contact striking, usually giving up anywhere from 40 to 120 pounds against my training partners, a mix of jits guys, amatuer, and pro mma fighters. Sometimes I win, sometimes I barely hold my own, sometimes I get mauled. I'm no badass, but it's a skill-set I enjoy having and will eventually pass on when I have kids. If you'd like a sparring match, that can be arranged (4oz gloves, whatever safety gear you feel is neccessary. Don't do point-sparring, so sorry if you're a krotty guy).
