I learned that I would seriously enjoy a real life fight club. I want to get beat up really bad, and to beat someone up horribly, each just once in my life.

M-me too.

I'd beat the shit out of you, anon, if you'd do the same for me.

No strings attached.

Its fun to diss it and be edgy but really its a good film and book. I've seen it about three times, It has its own unique mood and inspiration, not many films have that.

Except the thousands that do. David Fincher is shit-house

Totally false on both counts. There's no other film like it, and David Fincher did Seven and The Game, go back to /b, kthx

I remember reading Fight Club when I was like 17. Man, back then I thought Chuck Palahniuk was fucking amazing. He does have talent, and Fight Club is a good book, but it's pretty amazing to see how far I've come in like 5 years. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Chuck though, even though all he does is pump out a piece of shit a year. He really did get me into reading.

I feel the same way, but it's more like ten years for me.

I learn two plot devices:

1) multiple personality disorder
2) downward spiral/descending into chaos/worse situation

Erm ... that's not a plot device. That's a basic story arc. A story doesn't work without entropy/chaos.
