what are folks opinions about fight club?
pantryslut i am looking at you first

mine was pretty simple. i enjoyed it with the same sort of gritty loving the aesthetic as i did with se7en. i liked how things twisted around in some ways and how things layered themselves. the silliness inherent in machismo had me laughing at some parts that i think we not meant to be funny. and in the end the pseudo revolutionary antics were just a random plot point to serve as eye candy while furthering the psychological story. i have seen it more than once. it holds up fine. but aside from the cinematography i have no fierce hold on it.

how about you?

I basically liked it, and at the same time I thought it badly needed a rewrite to fix inconsistencies that seem plausible when you watch them but that the plot "twist" -- more accurately, the fundamental conceit of the story -- renders nonsensical.

The ending didn't work for me; I thought they should have kept the original ending of the book.
