The movie gives a whole new meaning to man boobs, imo.

too bad it was on at 2am and I had taken a pain pill. I drifted off at inopportune moments. Helena Bonham Carter, what a character she played!

12. link about the film
http://imdb.com/title/tt0137523/

Faithfully following Chuck Palahniuk's acerbic satire, Fight Club presents the vast emptiness of modern existence- ridden as it is with shallow values, rampant consumerism, empty of meaning, feeling and life itself- in a slick and ironically consumer oriented fashion. In a different vein from American Beauty, Fight Club explores the solutions to the veritable sleepwalking existence that plagues modern life. The film is violent, but it is not gratuitous violence, and any reviewer who claims that the film is promoting violence has missed the entire point of the film. A very black comedy, it is sure to provoke much conversation- it is definitely a film to see with friends. The film is fast-paced, densely packed and merits a second viewing, just to take it all in, especially if you haven't read the book. In typical Fincher style, you the viewer are left to draw your own conclusions. He feels no impetus to tell you how to interpret what you've seen, appropriate since the film condemns falling victim to the strictures of what society tells us to think and to value. My only criticism is that the editing is not as tight as it could be in the middle section of the film, it drags just a bit then picks up again. Other than that, it should definitely be an Oscar contender.

14. I saw it when it came out
And I was sitting in the back near a half dozen guys who had some together. Anyway, we (those guys and me) were the only ones who were laughing out loud early on. I didn't know the ending, but I started to suspect something pretty early on because I saw Brad Pitt in one of those "subliminal" flashes in the right upper corner of the screen.

you have to watch it all the way through.

Robert Paulson was the guy in the cancer therapy group who hugged Norton (narrator) and then became a big part of the club.

Narrator: This is Bob. Bob had bitch tits.

Narrator: This was a support group for men with testicular cancer. The big moosie slobbering all over me... that was Bob.
Robert 'Bob' Paulson: We're still men.
Narrator: Yes, we're men. Men is what we are.
Narrator: Eight months ago, Bob's testicles were removed. Then hormone therapy. He developed bitch tits because his testosterone was too high and his body upped the estrogen. And that was where I fit...
Robert 'Bob' Paulson: They're gonna have to open my pecs again to drain the fluid.
Narrator: Between those huge sweating tits that hung enormous, the way you'd think of God's as big.

15. Thanks, RainDog.
I missed this part. I came in later, when he was on an airplane. When he was in the terminal, on the conveyor belt, I thought I saw Tyler Durden go by in the opposite direction. I want to see this again, from beginning to end.

Interesting flick.

20. You are not a unique and beautiful snowflake.
You are not special. Your are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. You are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.
