Ahhh... What can I possibly say about this movie? It was one of the best movies I have seen in a while, and I see a lot of movies. It has fights, Brad Pitt acting like a psycho (Brad Pitt is the coolest psycho, must I point out 12 Monkeys?), and a hot chick that is messed up in the head and likes to have lots of sex. On top of all this, the movie has some of the coolest visuals I've ever seen.
When I took this movie to the counter at Specturm Video (the place down the street I rent movies when I have a late fee a Blockbuster) the woman said "Oh, that's a strange movie. All I can say about that is PSYCHOTIC!" I knew right away that I would like it. I mean, anything that gets those movie fiends that work at the video store in a state of panik has got to be good.
Okay, the movie starts out with Edward Norton's character on a chair with Brad Pitt holding a gun in his mouth. PHAT! Then, Edward Norton, I can't think of his character's name and no one else does either cause they say "Edward Norton as a man fed up with his job" or "...a man drawn into a dark underworld" starts talking over the movie about how all this came to be.

Eddy is a normal guy with a job he hates and his life is so screwed up that he starts going to all these self help groups and 12 step meetings and sheeot. That's where he meets Bob (played brilliantly by Meat Loaf), a victim of testicular cancer and bearer of big boobies due to his testosterone shots or something. Edward conitnues to go to these meetings and they seem to solve all his problems until he notices some chick that is going to the same meetings as you. This pisses him off because now he can't cry at the meetings.
So, he confronts the chick and they start talking about sharing the groups and stuff and we frist realize that this chick, Marla Singer (played by Helena Bonham Carter), is a bit nuts. Well, they go their seperate ways after exchanging numbers in case they want to switch days. Then, Edward goes on a business trip. Edward's job is to go to accident sites and figure out of the cost of recalling a car is worth it or if the huge car company he works for should just leave the cars out there with dangerous defects. On this business trip, Edward meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who makes and sells soup.
Well, when Edward comes home, he finds his condo and all his possessions have been blown up and out into the street, so he calls Tyler Durden for some reason and they go out and get drunk. Then, after getting a place to stay at Tyler's house, the two go outside and beat the crap out of each other, just for fun. Well, that's just the beginning. Soon, other people are watching them fight, and then, they ask to join. Thus begins Fight Club.
Needless to say, things get worse and crazier. Tyler Durden starts docking his tugboat in Marla Singer's harbor, he brings more and more people into Fight Club, and Edward Norton blackmails his boss. With the money from the blackmail, they take Fight Club from just saterdays to every day.
I won't ruin the rest of the movie for you, but let's just say that things get a little crazier and crazier until you think your going crazy. Then they drop a bomb on you and you really do snap and you start dancing in front of you couch and howling at the moon. Well, that was just me anyway.

I don't know if ANY chick on this planet would like this movie, even with the whole Brad Pitt factor. And that depends on if you chick is into Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt or Leonardo "TMNT" DiCaprio. If you chick is into the little one with big forehead, I think you should just dump the little 12 year old anyway.
Anyway, some chicks I think will be willing to see the movie because of Brad Pitt, but I guaran damn tee that they won't like the movie. It's violent, it belittle's women on a regular basis, and has Meat Loaf with big fat boobies. That's enough to gross out any broad you're with. Well, I actually watched it with Krispy Deamon and "Sweety" and she liked it, but she is one of the only cool chicks on the planet. I'm not saying that I'm like, gonna do her or anything, but I am doing a lot of reading at the Girlfriend stealing club.
Rating: 9 big fat sweaty Meat Loaf titties
