"His name is Robert Paulson"
This is one of the greatest movies I have seen in a long time! This is one of those movies that you will look back on and be like Whoa! This is one of my favorite movies. It has a cool and gritty editing that you will see while you watch you will see stuff pop up and disappear within a second. There were too many good lines out of this movie to put as my overall quote so I just put that. I still have to read the book. This is one of David Fincher's best movies its right nest to Se7en. I love his film Zodiac and Panic Room. He directed Alien 3 which was one of his first films he directed It was alright. I love the first one by Ridley Scott. Fincher is also coming out with a new film this Christmas called The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which has Brad Pitt I hope that will be great.
David Fincher has a certain way of directing I love it. Se7en is in my top three thrillers. Panic room was great. Zodiac was a masterpiece. I love the way that they focused more on the investigation than the killings, yeah it might have been slow and really long ,but thats what made it so great. It had a great cast: Jake Gyllenhaal ,Mark Ruffalo ,and Robert Downey Jr. the cast work so perfectly together and seemed so real. In Fight Club he has a dark look to it and a cool cast Brad and Edward are perfect together on the screen. The camera work is great I'll give that to the director of photography and David. The plot is perfect and the antagonist is great.
-The Cast-
Edward Norton ,Brad Pitt ,Helena Bonham Carter ,Meat Loaf and Zach Grenier
Edward Norton - 10/10 outstanding performance
One of the best in Hollywood right now. Hes done a lot of really good films and his most recent work The Incredible Hulk which was great. It really brought back Hulk but I like Tim Roth the most in that movie and Pride and Glory I still have to see. Ed does a great job in this movie I love it. Its like being inside a mans head when your watching it. He does such a gread job in this movie. Favorite line - "A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
Brad Pitt - 10/10 He does one hell of a job in this movie.
This is one of Brad's most outstanding movies. This was his second film with David Fincher. His first was Se7en which was great he did a really good job in that movie co staring Morgan Freeman ,Kevin Spacey ,Gwyneth Paltrow ,and R. Lee Ermey. He does a great job in this movie playing Tyler Durden. He is The Narrators friend that he met on a plane trip he sells soap. Favorite line - "Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
Helena Bonham Carter - 9/10 She does a good job in this movie.
She does a good job in this movie being the only female actress in it. I like her performance in this and she is great playing this suicidal person. I can remember seeing her in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street she did a good job in that one. Favorite line - "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school!"

Way to go Joe!!! ;)
The movie starts off with Edward Norton (who in this movie has no name so I will call him Edward) trying to cure his isomnia. He eventually finds a cure, which is going to support groups for people with dieseses, such as testicular cancer, which is where he meets Bob. He discovers that when he cries at these support groups he is able to sleep. This is going good for him for about 2 years, until Marla Singer comes along, who like Edward doesn't actually have any illnesses. He finds that when Marla is at the support groups he can't cry, which means he can't sleep. He eventually confronts Marla, and they decide to come up with a solution where they switch off, so they don't have to see each other anymore. It then goes on to Edwards work, which is some kind of recall agent for some car corporation. On one of his plane rides he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who is a soap salesman. Once he gets off the plane he heads to his condo, which has somehow exploded. He doesn't know who to call, until he finds Tyler Durden's card, which he got on the plane. They meet at a bar and have a few drinks, and once they get outside Tyler tells Edward to punch him because he has never been in a fight. So after some arguing Edward agress to hit him and punches him in the ear. After Tyler punches Edward in the stomcah and they start to fight. Afterward they go back to Tylers house, which is in terrible shape. Time goes on and they start to have other people fighting with them in the parking lot, until eventually they get to go into the basement of the bar to fight after it's closed and it is then called fight club. Eventually it goes to a scene in Tylers house (where Edward is living also) and Marla calls. Edward picks up and it appears that Marla took too many pills and is suicidal, so Edward puts the phone on the table. It then cuts to the next morning, and for the first time in the 3 months that Edward has been living there Tylers door was shut, and there were some condoms in the toilet. Tyler comes down the stairs and eventually tells Edwards that he saws the phone on the table and picked it up, went to Marlas appartment, picked her up and brought her back to the house and had sex all night. So then as time goes on Tyler keeps havin sex with Marla all the time, they keep going to fight club on the weekends, and Tyler is declining in work. It eventually cuts to a scene in fight club while during a fight someone comes down, it turns out to be Lou, the owner of Lou's Tavern, and he didn't know about any of the fighting going on. He then tells them all to leave, but Tyler refuses kindly, Lou eventually get to the point where he starts beating Tyler and walks away, then Tyler jumps on Lou and starts bleeding all over him and whatnot. So Lou, whos completly disgusted agress to let them stay and leaves with his 2 body guards. Afterwards Tyler tells all the people at fight club that they have a homework assignment, which is to get into a fight and lose. So the next day Tyler goes into his boss's office and tries to blackmail saying he won't tell any of the company's secrets if he pays him while Edward stays home. His boss says he's fired and calls in security,but before they get there Edward punches himself a bunch, throws himself into a table and some shelves. When he throws himelf into the shelves he comments "For some reason I was reminded about my first fight with Tyler. So he crawls to his boss all bloody and bashed when at that moment security busts in. Edward gets 52 weekly paychecks and some stuff, like computers, etc...Time goes on and Tyler keeps giving out more homework assignments of vandilism. The city starts to get aware that this is all from one group so it cuts to a scene of some city official giving a speech on the acts of vandilism. When he goes to the bathroom a few of the people from fight club tackle him and threaten to cut off his balls unless he stops the rigouris investigations. As time goes on it shows that people from fight club are joining the house and in order to do that they have to stand outdie in one spot for 3 days without moving. Eventually there is about 20 or so people all living in the house. Tyler eventually tells Edward that fight club has evovled into Project Mayhem.
