Yeah there is a book...and honestly it not as good.

Personally at times it ruined the "effect" that narrator and Tylor were.

I think Chuck Pahalniuk (the author of the book) watched the movie and said that it did a lot of things better than he did.

I think I recall reading that from his interview in the leaflet to the special edition DVD I have.

I've never seen an author so enthused about the movie adaptation of his work. I read another interview with him in UGA's paper and he raved on and on about how much he loved the movie.

I watched about 1/2 of it a few months ago. It was retarded IMHO.

Fight Club is de bomb.

It'll definetly go down as one of the classics.

Which half? The first or the second?

Either way, watch the whole movie.

start from the beginning. I know the plot backward and foward, and when I press play, I cant look away

Whoa, I have heard that FC was a good movie, but dang... I guess I'll have to go rent it now, seeing as though I have never seen the movie.

Yes Fight Club does belong in the group of movie gods like the Star Wars OT Robocop 1 & maybe 2 Terminator 1 & 2 and all the even trek films before 1990

I watched Fight Club, and it was pretty good, but I've never understood this massive following that it's had among the more philosophy-oriented types. I mean, when you get right down to it, it's just a lot of existentialist socialism with a bad case of The Usual Suspects Syndrome.

I haven't seen it yet either.

If you've only seen half of the movie, then you're still missing out on alot... and you just wont understand the hype around the movie.

--Besides alot of people like stupid movies dislike cool movies, like cool movies, and dislike stupid movies.

Fight Club owns. Edward Norton owns. Never will there be a movie quite as mind-bogglingly awesome as Fight Club.
