Okay people, before we get into tonight's movie I'd like to thank the 26 people that have viewed my posts so far. Granted probably 10 or so of those are me making sure it's working and it looks okay (which btw, does it? i wanted blue but i fail at this stuff and it's stuck on orange, which doesn't look horrible but i was hoping for blue). I do think that all of you, and i mean all of you, should subscribe to my blog. I mean, come on, lets add a little variety to your browser history. with all the facebook, instagram, and pinterest pages you've got in there it looks like you have no life. add in my blog and you can tell all your 'friends' what a loser i am for never seeing these movies before now. sounds like a great idea, right? RIGHT!?!? that's what i thought :)
okay, on to tonights movie: Fight Club.
a cult classic from 1999 that even i'm surprised i haven't seen. i mean it has brad pitt AND edward norton. i mean, really? i haven't seen this how? main reason is because its yet another movie adapted from a book, and lets face it, the book is always better so why ruin the awesomeness i already know and love with some crappy acting and removal of the best scenes in the book, ahem, twilight anyone? kristen whatsherface ruined bella for me. she's a horrible actress but lets not go there, that would take up a few paragraphs that we just can't afford here. getting back on track....right books made into movies (yes, i had to re-read what i had typed to remember what was going on, i have ADD, leave me alone). the ONLY book turned movie that i love both the movie and the book is P.S I love you. now this could be because i saw the movie before i read the book or because Gerard Butler is in it and well, it's Gerard Butler, how could i not love anything with that man in it? and yes, i still bawl my eyes out everytime i watch that movie. multiple times.
MOVING ON. i'm settled in bed with some healthy snacks today (craisians and water, the pizza, wings and woodchucks last night killed me. and you know, the nerf gun war.) time to push play....
WHAT?!?! meatloaf is in this? i'm pumped already and we're only in the opening credits.
i've always wanted to go to a support group that i don't need the support for. i'm not right, i know. but you know you've thought about it. just once. just to see what's up.
oh ikea. if i had your magazine bad things would happen to my savings account. like it being completly depleted by things that will go into the spare room because i have no room for it in my room.
i wish that dr. should have to see all the crazy shit that occured because he wouldn't give someone sleep medicine.
if i didn't know this movie was made well before happy feet i would have thought that penguin was from that movie.
life insurance pays out triple if you die on a business trip. yes it sure does. at least something like that.
can you really make napalm from gas and oj concentrate?
The answer is no, you cannot. the producers feared people would actually use the recipe in the movie to make napalm so they changed it from what it really is to this. smart move i don't doubt for a second that some stupid kid would try that.

i need to add fear and loathing in las vegas to the list of movies.
wow. i can hit better than that. i at least know HOW to hit. yeah mr. pitt, you show edward how it's done.
Gentleman. Welcome to Fight Club. The first rule is, you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club.
oh brad pitt is sexy.
i'd like to fight Gandhi.
soooo sexy.
now if you're watching the movie for the first time this scene should be a HUGE tip off to the ending. serious foreshadowing here. i think that would be a version of this. whatever, you should pick up on what's going on in this scene.
"who are you talking to?" more foreshadowing here people.
dun dun dun. if you didn't get the twist by now you need movie predicition help, i wonder if there's a support group for that. "aside from they're humping, tyler and marla were never in the same room together" huh....i wonder why that is?
oh ew. ew. ew. ew. bag full of fat. and it gets caught on barbed wire fence. ewwwww.
"tylers words coming out of my mouth..."
WHOA is that Jared Letto? I'm kinda obsessed with him. and he doesn't look too bad with bleach blonde hair. this is even more surprising that i haven't seen this movie.
Edward Norton is AMAZING.
poor Bob.
ooohhh Jared Letto has arrived on the porch. me like.
so i've gotta say. so far i'm very impressed with how well this movie has followed book. except for one scene not being in there i like it.
His name, is Robert Paulson. His name, is Robert Paulson. His name, is Robert Paulson.
....because....we're the same person.... oh how i love these types of movies.
"Tyler, you're the worst thing that ever happened to me." and the best, don't you lie Marla.
I love men in trench coats.
This movie definitely gets 5 stars. I wish i had watched this sooner. It keeps you entertained, even when you know whats coming next, which is pretty hard to do. I don't know if i should give the credit to to director or to Chuck Palahniuk for his amazing mind for creating Tyler's crazy world. I'm leaning more towards Chuck. Even though David Fincher did a fantastic job, i truly mean fantastic, taking Tyler's world from the pages into a brilliant movie, it was still Chuck Palahniuk that created it in the first place. Let's not forget Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. I can't imagine any other actors that could play these roles as well as they do, especially Edward Norton. The man really is a genius. To be able to fight yourself convincingly is epic. Simply epic.
"You met me in a very strange time in my life."
