FIGHT CLUB (1999)

OSCAR: This is a weird, wonderful and violent film about ..well.. a fight club. IF for some reason, you haven’t seen this film, I will not give anything away other than Brad Pitt’s character asks Edward Norton’s character who he would want to fight in the fight club? Ed Norton’s character then states that he would want to fight William Shatner. This is a unique and strange film, but it works !! In my opinion it doesn’t lag much and it has an unexpected ending. It’s a fun watch with a strange hodgepodge of characters…even meatloaf!!!

EMMY: As Oscar stated, it is a “different” film. It’s dark, funny in places, definitely bizarre but not slow. All the characters are interesting and the film moves at a nice tempo that keeps you hooked as you wonder what the heck kind of movie this is!!! I would suggest a good night’s sleep before you see the movie because you want your brain running on all cylinders!!

    hi! I didn’t particularly like this movie, but I know lots of people did. I just don’t really get it I guess. I do like the characters you drew though. Especially Brad Pitt. Very good.

      Hi Bonnie!! Thank you for visiting and commenting!! I agree with you that it is a weird movie. I Didn’t like the ending. I did enjoy the whole quirkiness of the movie as a whole though. I respect the whole thinking outside the box and making a unique film. Not enough of that in cinema these days. Thank you for complimenting my artwork!!!

    Fight Club did indeed fly over the heads of audiences expecting straight macho action thrills, as opposed to a mind-messing critique of the same, as well as capitalism, material acquisition, masculinity and other sacred cows of national identity. masterpiece.

      Good morning Thomas and thank you for joining in!!! It sure was mind-messing. I did enjoy the movie as it was not a run-of-the-mill same ol’ hollywood offering. The dialogue was interesting and funny at times – almost like a Coen Brothers movie. I structured the whole comic after William Shatner being mentioned as a fight opponent by Edward Norton’s character. When I first saw the movie I had eagerly waited for William Shatner to make a cameo…sigh…didn’t happen.

    Happrned across your blog. Interesting work. Talented renderings and sarcastic dialogue. The Fight Club movie demands a certain attention and is not easily dismissed, but there is something deeply unsettling about a work that uncritically portrays brutality as a function of alienation and nonconformity.

      You’re right Hop it is super violent. I don’t think it had to be. I’m an old-school westerns fan and those were violent, but it was usually someone defending themselves or others and didn’t show a lot of blood. Thank you for the compliment!! Ha! I am sarcastic by nature…. darn MAD magazines!!!
