Yeah... I live in Texas... I've got firearms... just not enough of them... because, obviously, there's no such thing as having too many guns.

Are you effin' kidding me?  "Selling their fat tulips back to them." has got to be one of the most intelligent and to the point lines ever uttered in a movie.  I thought the movie was brilliant.

[SteveBailey]

but those guys couldn't fight their way out of a wet, paper bag.

well, like I said, you missed one of the points of the plot.

[Chairboy]

And HOW, dang, I can almost smell the unburned kerosene in his hair from the big JetClue that WHOOSHED right over his head. 

The movie isn't about MMA superstars, it's about nobodies, folks who sit behind a desk and type mindless reports and bus dishes and do all the mind numbing work that emasculates the predator part of our brain.  It's about what happens when they open up the window, stick their heads outside, and yell at the top of their lungs "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"  Well, a little of that last bit might have leaked in from another movie, but you should get the idea.  Hopefully.

Superstars? I got choked unconscious by a poolboy last tuesday. 

Don't get mad at me because the movie's casting department was too lazy to take a trip to a real fight club and recruit some extras

[Halo46]

Woosh

[Chairboy]

Yep, again.  Indy, you're missing an element so basic about the movie that it's hard to describe.  I got nothing.

[Speed55]

  sticking feathers up your butt doesnt make you a chicken.

If you took ten random guys off the street, how many would be able to fight well enough by your standards of knowing how to fight?


I doubt more then one, maybe 2.

Thats just one reason why your missing the point.

Remember the first rule of fight club. Shhhhhhh 

[lasersailor184]

One of my favorite parts from it is the mission they are given where they are to pick a fight, and then purposefully lose.


While it isn't real, I think it has gotten it spot on how non-confrontational our society has become.

[Tarmac]

Fight club isn't real? 

[lasersailor184]

The movie itself.

wow, you didn't even have to duck for it to go over your head.

well guys, let me rephrase this. It was a good movie till around the end, it may have been because I was tired but, I did not get ANY single point of it after about half way. Like how it turned out his friend was imaginary. I was still watching it, but it was the stupid kind of "anarchy" sort of movie.  (atleast it was anarchy against the clintons!!  )
