    A further comment on the advertising. I never saw a single advert, trailer, or announcement for the film. I went in 100% cold knowing only that Brad Pitt was staring in it.
    I wonder if not knowing anything beforehand hand gave me a better appreciation for the movie.

    I caught the twist from the sixth sense and the village right way, but Fight Club man, once that twist happened, I felt like someone had kicked me in the nuts!

    When the narrator calls Tyler from the phone box, have you noticed that the phone says that it DOESN'T receive incoming calls? Yet "Tyler" "calls" him on it! Fantastic film. Very philosophical and provocative. It's one of my favourite films.

    People always talk about the comedy of the testicular cancer scene, but the real comedy for me is when the two white folks are in the sickle cell group 😂😂😂.. White people rarely get sickle cell, so that scene with Ed Norton looking at Helena while the Black guy looks confusedly at Ed Norton is top notch comedy.

    39:01 Meatloaf had been in an episode of Tales from the Crypt before this, he gets cannibalised by Christopher Reeve and Judd Nelson.

    You guys got 2 scenes mixed up. Tyler gets beaten by Lou BEFORE the narrator confronts his boss.

    Get it boys (and guest Justine). Keep giving us those good quality reviews.

    Love your reviews Gary and Iain!
    I just have a couple requests. Any chance you guys can do a Point Break (1991) and a Commando (1985) review?

    • @CanImakeamilliondollars
      @CanImakeamilliondollars 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I recently bought and watched commando, I loved it as a kid. Watching it recently ruined it for me. Arnold kept kissing his movie daughter too much in the mouth for me, and how it opened felt more like a couple than a father and daughter bonding montage. Especially the ice cream scene and sandwich scene. It gave the whole movie a weird vibe for me now.

    this is a great film period. for me this works as a double feature with 12 Monkeys, another film where Brad Pitt was crazy but cool.

    Greetings from New Zealand Gary and Iain. I love your reviews and are a highlight in my week. If you haven't yet, then I recommend watching with the directors commentary with Fincher and Pitt. Really entertaining and shows that they are both very down to earth guys.

    Great review. Yea, you invited Justine for the review. I liked the movie, and enjoyed this review. 🙂

  • @CMDR_Verm
    @CMDR_Verm 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great review, thanks guys and gal. And thank you also for making sure Justine was properly audible. If you invite her on it's only good manners to ensure we can hear her opinion (which is not always the case).

    At 16:24 in the shot of him running you are right there isn’t a Starbucks cup but if you look at the far right hand side you see a glowing “half circle” light faint in the background. That is a Starbucks coffee shop sign!

    • @sayjinpat4life
      @sayjinpat4life 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just realized the 16:24 in your statement when clicked moves the time slider to that time stamp.

    Actually Gents and Lady, Columbine massacre was in April of 1999. Fight Club didn't release until following October. I was 5 miles away when Columbine happened. Bad day especially in Colorado but it was prior to this movie.
    Love Ya Guys and the channel.

    After Goodfellas, this is my favorite film.
    I've seen it probably 30 times.
    Read the book several times.
    It is SO GOOD.
    I like your analysis. You're nice people with knowledge of film.
    A nice listen.

    Great review lads. Fight Club is certainly one of Brad Pitts finest movies. Well worth a viewing again.

  • @hopelessedgelord
    @hopelessedgelord 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    24:17 They do say in the film Tyler only works nights
    Tyler is a weird character that he is the narrator's ideal self but also Tyler acts like the Narrator's Father and bestfriend and I think trying to be all those things is what makes him so destructive
    1:04:03 I don't think thats what tyler wants he wants to teach them how to be then they can go be free. But tge issue is these are mostly fatherless directionless guys who have no goals in life so they latch onto tyler someone who is strong and will give them purpouse even though its not what hes advocating but he will slip into the role because thats what he was made to do give directions and voice the narrator's hidden honest thoughts.

    1996 film with Billy Zane & Catherine Zeta Jones called "The Phantom" you got to review & "The Shadow with Alec Baldwin & Tim Curry" just suggestions to consider getting Platinum Trophy for Strange Brigade on PS4 is not easy Gary & Ian you got to survive 3 Horde waves without taking any damage as not getting killed does not count!

    Edward Norton's character name is... Tyler. Tyler Durden. It's funny how as a viewer you don't connect that because of vastly different sides of the character that Norton and Pitt portrays.

    I always imagined that Fight Club and Se7en share the same movie verse of the Saw and The Collector movie franchises. Not sure how the entire Brad Pitt actor/characters work but whatever... they all have that dirty, gritty look to them. Oh and Death Sentence, the movie with Kevin Bacon. That's one dark movie verse.

    @cdevil9488 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A little detail they missed when they talked about the scene where Norton beats the crap out of himself in front of his boss; when he's on his knees begging to keep his job, he smears his blood on the boss' hands, so when security walks in, it looks like the boss was the one beating Norton.
