I think so, it's been years since I seen it... must be, not
too many scenes around like that..

I'd like one of the fight at the end, that'd be great

Points: 2040 Status: Lurker



both excellent books
chuck palahniuck should be in the "literature" section of
borders if you can't find fight club i'd heartily reccomend
anything else by the guy
(he hasn't written much)
also fear n loathing (by hunter s thompson)
oughta be in the journalism section
good luck

This is one of my all-time favorite movies as well. No
matter how many times I watch it, it never gets old.

How is the book? Are there many differences in the story?

much better

Points: 144 Status: Lurker



Yeah, twelve monkeys and seven did prove he could act well,
you're right.

I guess Fight Club was just kind of the turning point for
me.

Crap (legends of the fall) -> not bad (seven) -> very good
(fight club)

i dont know, lock stock was made before snatch and there
mostly different charecters

anyone here ever see La Jette, the french fild that 12
monkey's is based on?

ive seen La Jette. Way more interesting than 12 monkeys.

new david fincher film "panic room" is coming out soon.
should be kick ass. david fincher is not able to do a bad
film.
his creds:
alien 3
the game
seven
fight club
uhh... madonna's express yourself video.


 

offline shibumi from United States on 2002-02-25 15:23 [#00100967]
Points: 359 Status: Lurker



Taoist Bloackade: Yeah, totally agree. The part where the
chick opens her eyes is the scariest moment of film I've
ever seen (excepting one from Lost Highway).
Since you're from Vancouver, do you speak French?


 

offline Taoist Blockade from Wales on 2002-02-25 15:32 [#00100972]
Points: 1169 Status: Lurker



oui un petit peu, mais pas tres bien :)

La Jette was so cool because they fit so much drama into
such a short amount of time, you come amway with so much
more than 12 monkeys in like 1/30th the time.

I also read the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, and it sometimes
is really different to the movie... like they didn't steal
the fat out of a hospital... they killed Marla's mom... :-)

I really love that movie... it's one of my all-time
favorites..


 

offline shibumi from United States on 2002-02-25 16:15 [#00101015]
Points: 359 Status: Lurker



Yeah, I think you're whole sense of time is kind of messed
with too (which fits in nice with the subject of the movie),
because it's all stills with dialogue overladen. . Could
you understand all that whispering that was going on
whenever the scientists hooked him up to the time machine?
It always bugged me that they never subtitled it. (Guess I
should just try and learn French)


 

offline Taoist Blockade from Wales on 2002-02-25 16:18 [#00101018]
Points: 1169 Status: Lurker



I cant remember what the whispering is saying, I saw it
about a year ago. Its wicked though, like the original freak
ending movie. I would love to see mroe films made with
stills instead of actual footage, do you know any others
worth watching?


 

offline shibumi from United States on 2002-02-25 16:41 [#00101056]
Points: 359 Status: Lurker



Hmmmm. Well, i don't really know any still films, but
there's a film called Baraka that's almost the reverse.
It's sort of a documentary about the strange rituals of
people in different cultures. There a lot of time lapse
photography of busy city intersections shot from above, so
you get a sense of how the human "herd" really moves.

It's just another way to mess with you head.

You might also like to watch Angel Dust by Sogo Ishii. If
you liked La Jette I can gaurantee you'd love Angel Dust

Fight Club on DVD = Excellent.

Great film, great soundtrack. I'm a huge fan of David
Fincher, can't wait for Panic Room.

Read "Survivour" by Chuck Palahuick (Guy who wrote fight
club) brilliant.

Yeah Baraka is wicked. Have you seen Latchodrome? (not sure
spelling) Similar vein. I would love someone to make a movie
like Baraka to some fine electronic music. Autechre in the
city and then Boards of Canada while flying over central
Africa or something.
