Fight Club

[say_whut]

I've still not seen Fight Club.

I know the ending though. Someone ruined that for me.

Damn, that's fucking low...

My housemate ruined the ending of Shawshank Redemption for her boyfriend a couple of months ago... we just sat there in stunned silence. Not...the...done...thing...

Had some dizzy bird at college do that for me with Sixth Sense

"How was Sixth Sense last night?"
"Amazing, Bruce Willis is a ghost and everything!"

Lonely Island stnuc ruined Sixth Sense for me b2b

Have you ever seen the movie? It's called Fight Club because that's the aspect of the movie that has the most marketable ring to it. It's kind of a crappy critique of consumerism, really. Not that great a film.

And btw, a hipster is something you call someone who likes stuff a lot of people like but you don't. It's pretty meaningless.

I typically look at 'hipster' anything as things that have all style, no substance.

You mean, everything people have ever liked in the entire time that humans existed on this planet? What is 'substance' anyway? Or better yet, who are you to decide what has substance?

My girlfriend at the time was shocked I hadn't seen it, it starts, within about 15 minutes I said "Ok so he's a ghost right?", she got in a huff, two weeks later the relationships over.

Let that be a lesson to you kids.

Quick aside;

We were watching Gladiator with one of my mates and his not-the-sharpest girlfriend. During the open battle scene, where Russel Crowe says "At my signal, unleash HELL!", the young lady said quite matter of factly "That's a silly name for a dog".

That's the point...it's my opinion. You knew this was the case as I later said that it was my definition of hipster. So it's what I see as having substance/value...

Anyway, hypefiend why did you lie and say you'd watched the film if you haven't and why have you avoided answering what your favourite films are? Trust me, there's only about 20 films which you could say which would have me shaking my head.

I fucking love Kurosawa, am I a hipster?

[hutyluty]

havent seen the film but the book is good

Not the biggest fan of pulp fiction though, probably missed the point of it entirely but wouldn't put it anywhere near the plot of fight club, but i probably dislike it because it seems to be everybody at uni's favourite film, just like how they love Radiohead and James Blake

My favourite film is Around the World in 80 days with Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan.

Goodspeed: Define Combat, Sir?

Anderson: Shep?

Shephard: An incursion underwater to re-take an impregnable fortress held by an elite team of U.S. Marines, in possession of eighty-one hostages and fifteen guided rockets loaded with V.X. poison gas.

Exactly what I was saying when I said some people think hipster means elitist. And a lot of people think elitist means liking anything that's not in the box office/top 40. Herzog and Kurosawa are both amazing. Goddard...well he was good early on but did end up making some pretentious shit pretty quickly.

yah, it seems the word hipster is generally used when referring to those who place a lot of value on the idea of trends.
Those trends can't be too popular or they become mainstream (unless they are so terribly mainstream that liking them becomes a hilarious ironic pursuit) so there is an elitism at the heart of the idea.
Nevertheless it is a pointless, nebulous concept that has no real meaning and people should stop using it so much (like chav).

[mylon]

Have you seen it???

yea.

What do you mean among the hipster crowd? It's just a good movie. I've thought that way about it for years.

you don't know? this movie is crazy popular among hipsters along with a Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction, and a few others

don't know if you're serious or not and to be blunt, i don't really care, but i'm just going to pretend you are and say those are all good movies.

I haven't seen the movie but my tnuc of a friend has. I've heard great things about the film myself and I am going to try and rent it this weekend with a few friends and with my other mate on here for re evaluations i suppose (on his part) thanks everyone for the feedback i guess even though i didn't start this thread.
