To counter the neutering and numbing effect of the TWILIGHT carpet-bombing this past weekend and next week’s onslaught of Black Friday consumerism, I request we take a moment to to commemorate the 10th anniversary of FIGHT CLUB, just released on Blu Ray. May bar soap and Ikea never look the same again.

Thanks Elaine for adding some testosterone to the site
yeah, i know… 4 posts about TWILIGHT in a row??
Elaine, Justin, & Anderson,
Judging by the tone and attitude of you 3 right now, it is evident that none of you have taken the time to resurrect your inner tween. Please take at least an hour today to reflect upon the superficial so that you can truly appreciate the lowest common denominator.
until then…Team Jacob or Team Edward?
Team Tyler Durden all the way. Fight Club is a movie I could marathon for a week with my eyelids stapled open. Thank you Elaine!
I’d die of a self-induced subdural hematoma before I even see the opening credits of Twilight.
Here’s a nice summary from Huffington Post that has a nice of what Fight Club represented and predicted 10 years ago in an eerie Nostradamus way.

I am Jack’s neglected spleen.
Yes, yes, Fight Club was a great movie. Male killer instinct shackled and emasculated by modern life and all that. But why did they have to include the groveling, spineless asian convenience store employee?
His exaggerated frantic sprint and teary pleads for his life were about on par with the wildly “hai-yaaaaa!”-ing of asian cannon fodder in 80s action flicks. In an otherwise impeccably acted film, this seemed like an anomaly (even taking the question of offensiveness out of the equation).
Worst of all, the character’s name wasn’t even asian! When we say it’s great for asian actors to get roles written for whites, this is not what we mean.
