Fight Club
Finally get to watch this movie (pirate again :P). Thanks to a friend who revealed to me the ending long time ago, he had the movie spoiled for me. Not totally though, cos nevertheless Fight Club is still a thought-provoking movie and it's definitely NOT what the title suggests (i.e., it's NOT about fighting). This is not Edward Norton at his best (his best I feel is his first movie Primal Fear), but still he is effortlessly convincing in his role. Though IMHO, I tot if the movie shows more of him being Tyler, it would be brilliant. Guess I prefer watching Edward Norton as a bad guy. Overall i think the movie is worth a watch. Unique plot. I quite like some particular memorable and tongue-in-cheek quotes which are worth pondering:
1) "If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"
2) "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."
3) "You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your f**king khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."
4) "When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake."
5) "It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."
6) "The things you own end up owning you."
7) "I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species."
8) "With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels."
