watched this movie for the first time in god knows how long. it seems to have aged well. any thoughts, or has this one been discussed to death? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved that movie. Love Edward Norton... Have you read the book? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i watched it with the commentary with ed norton, brad pitt and david fincher on, so that gave some nice insight into the movie. too bad they couldn't get radiohead to do the soundtrack like they had wanted to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i read the book before the movie came out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh I see. I have the DVD but I haven't watched it with the cmmentary.. maybe I will. Radiohead? That would of been pretty fresh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually think the book is better than the movie, but the rest of his books haven't really lived up to the standard set by that one. they all seem to repeat the same basic tone, themes expressed in that one. |

love the film. nice dvd package. the commentary is nice. |
||||||||

Books usually are better than movies.. imagination always seems to be more powerrful and more to my liking. I haven't read any of his books. |
||||||||

yeah iv got the dvd but only watched half of it with the comentary thanks zaphod you reminded me |

I'm reading "Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk currently. It's really good. I read "Survivor" (i posted about it a while back) by him as well, it was amazing. |
||||||||

|
|
trivia: radiohead were nearly involved in this as composers i forget if trent was offered the job too. the dust bros score is excellent :} |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have "lullaby" lying around. still have to start reading it though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
palahniuk is the living end fight club is a sick fucking book, everyone who likes apocalyptic satire will dig it but I think lullaby is even better. I also liked choke a lot. it's a quick read and quite wonderfully vulgar I think he's kind of a brett easton ellis for juniors |

Surivivor is my favorite, Invisible Monsters is pretty disturbing as well. Fight Club is a great DVD, don't even know how many times I've seen it. Too many. Chuck has a new book coming out ! Fugitives & Refugees - July 8th, 2003! A Walk in Portland Oregon (Taken from someone who listened to Chuck read some of the book) With a small crowd I had the lucky opportunity to hear Chuck read from Fugitives and Refugees this past October 2002 in New York. He read about 3-5 chapters from the book, each comprised as a separate mock-postcard written from Chuck to the people he knows living outside his hometown of Portland, OR. From the moment Chuck began reading his first selection about his experiences at a Pink Floyd laser light show on acid, the entire crowd was hysterically laughing. But the level of laughter far outdid any response I've ever heard Choke, Lullaby, or even the felching scene from Invisible Monsters get. But Fugitives and Refugees is not only a laugh riot of embarrassing and revealing moments in Chuck's life, it's at the same time very autobiographical. |

Edward Norton is cool. If it wasn't for him the movie would be shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The book is so short! Yeah I've read/seen both. |
||||||||
|

fight club was an uppercut right on the jaw. i watched that movie many times. i read survivor soon after and really liked it, heard a while ago they were supposed to make a movie out of it. bought choke, it's a good read, but it's true that the mood and everything gets repeated, the main characters are too alike in his books. i got lullaby, but i have yet to read it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yeah, have you seen him in everyone says i love you? his performance is breathtaking. haha....anyhow, he has been in his fair share of classics -- the people vs larry flynt, american history x (funniest movie ever)... glad the dust brothers did the soundtrack; couldn't imagine it any other way. |

Cortex - Hey I read survivor too! Have you noticed how much SHIT Chuck Pahlaniuk knows? "The best way to get semen out of trousers is to use a lemon and soap mixture - 1 part soap 4 parts lemon" (that's not an example but that kind of shit - that and the whole making bombs with soap thing) Fucking crazy-smart bastard! |

I've got a feeling that ed norton might be a buffty boy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The fact that he's engaged to Salma Hayek might be enough to prove you wrong, william. I dig chuck's stuff, do a search on his name there's plenty of threads bout him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That proves nothing. He's as camp as fucking Kevin Spacey. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

ed norton's not a buftie....surley? |

Jenna Jameson wants to root Edward Norton. No shit I saw her say it on some porno interview thing on TV. Crazy shit. |

Great film. Even better book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

(Books usually are better than movies.. ) imagination always seems to be more powerrful and more to my liking. Your post makes me think of reasons not to watch porn... Anyway yeah the book is better than the film, but not much. The film is great, even a great adaption of the book... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know, i was thinking the same thing while reading survivor. or all those stealing techniques! but i know he does a shitload of research for every book he writes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. Most good authours (that write in the same way, with details) do a lot of resarch though... I read some interview where he said that he began writing on this book after working with [addicts or old people or something] which he took to support groups. He then was amazed (or something) by the openes that people had to eachother at supportgroups and thought like "what if somebody's faking it"... Also back then there were several (fiction) books he'd read that had real (food) recipes in them (these books weren't about food really). And he thought it would be fun to do the same stuff (putting real fact/info into his books) but with bombs and such stuff... I watched the movie like 5 times last autumn cause I (and some classmates) analyzed it for a class we had at the university... It got better every time we saw it... Fincher knows how to add qualitytime to a film =) Nearly any (can't think of any now anyway) unnecesseary stuff, and it's nice to look at, has excellent sound and great music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, this DVD has one of the best commentarys i have heard. which sounds like a great idea for a new topic... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha... that's kinda funny.. I liked the commentary to, but my classmates were so angry cause they wanted Fincher to analyze the movie (there were certain scenes we disagreed on what they actually meant, like how he had used symbolism -etc) on the commentary track, which he obviously didn't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the commentary with norton, pitt and fincher was indeed very good one of my favorite movies have yet to read the book |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
such a great film for me, I really enjoyed all the discussion about the modern day male... ...we are not our avatars or points... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this movie is a masterpiece. The dialogues, and the monologues are extremely well articulated. Edward Norton is a great "monologuist", and his effort in this film is beyond anything I've ever seen. He's a fucking natural. |
||||||||

Loved it. |

grreat film and it's a lasterr. it does not depend on the twist to make it a good film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

invisible monsters is a bery good book and ive been meaning to pick up the rest of his books but havent gotten around to doing it, aside from that biography hes writing i think 1 or possibly 2 more books (1 of which i think will be out by the fall this year) the movie was very good indeed, i kind of didnt want to see it because i hadnt read the book yet but I think itll work out fine. |
