I love the movie. It is also one of the best movies based on a book I have ever seen.

I didn't read the book, but I got the impression from the movie that Jack wanted to be Tyler, not suck him off. |

The book is even more so-the author is gay. Great book and movie though. |

I dont think the author was trying to make it homo-erotic as much as he was trying to make some people uncomfortable. His writing attempts to keep people on edge. I dont think Chuck wants his readers to feel comfortable with his work. I tend to doubt that movie would even be released today. With the exception of V is for Vendetta you dont see movies being released that the ignorent could argue advocate terrorism.

That's for damn sure. While I love his books, a few of them have made my stomach churn to the point where I had to put it down or skip the rest of the chapter. |

He's from seattle or lives here. He is accepting letters right now and will respond (hand written) to ALL letters he gets for a period. Have you read "choke?" I thought that was a great book. |

I thought Choke and Lullaby were both incredible. There's another one out that I can't remember right now......Playboy published excerpts from it, or maybe it was a short story...........the main character ends up in a hospital after sitting on the intake jets in a pool while he....ummm never mind ya just need to read it.

It's the first story in "Haunted", which I just finished reading. That chapter is one that I have to skip since it makes me ill, but the book as a whole was awesome. |

I dunno. I liked the movie and didnt see any "gayness" it it. I just saw a lot of Fucking of Helena carter.
 . But some of the stuff in there was basically untrue and lead a lot of morons to do stupid shit in real life. Like i heard a lot of people tried to start their own fight clubs?  A lot of people ended up getting hurt because they are stupid and cant seem to seperate a story from reality. Then there was this case where a guy wanted to "pick a fight" with people and tape it, just like when they were supposed to try and get into a fight with a total stranger for a week and in the book people were all chickenshit. In real life it didnt work out so well for the idiot who tried that. This guy and his chick were walking down the street and the guy out of the blue said "hey dude your girlfriends a pig" (i guess he was thinking the guy would run away like in that movie or something?)  "blammo" caught right on tape, the guy ended up in the hospital. then people would say things like 'come on hit me in the face' at parties when they were drunk and get knocked out or lose teeth. For what? a movie? so stupid. The good thing is a lot of that stupidness was caught on tape and you can see it on the internet.

Edward Norton's character never had a name. "Jack" was from a book they found in the abandoned building. Tyler Durden is The Main Character's alter ego and a figment of his imagination, and a plot device for him to express and project his thoughts. |

As I stated above, I'm quite a fan of the movie. Ironically, however, it was only weeks after I purchased my AR-10 carbine that I remembered that line. |

He lives here, in Portland, Oregon. Lake Oswego, specifically. BTW: That fuckhead Danny Glover lives in Lake Oswego too... |

Thing is, the narrator had two personalities. He had his pussy self, and his macho self, Tyler. The movie is about him finding a middle ground.
Thats my take. |

Woops. On a radio show here in seattle, I heard them call him a "local" writer. I guess that meant the pac NW. |

For me it was one of the rare movies that was better than the book.
And it was very inspirational to some people. I know fight clubs started after the book & more after the movie. I didn't see Visa & Mastercard blown up. |

I didn't see that until September 11, 2001. I have a feeling our Muzzie friends may have seen that part of the movie and went, "  "Punk bitches. Hope they're rotting in Hell.

Most radical Muslims wouldn't make it through the film. Also, most radical Muslims won't watch movies. ETA: WTF? Why is this post in front of the one I quoted? |

It was a mind-fuck movie and I enjoyed it, but it was too sadistic for me to watch it again.

For the other Palahniuk fans out there, "Stranger than Fiction: True Stories" is very good as well. Some places won't have it next to the rest of his work on the fiction shelf.
