I'd rather Brad Pitt.

Fattie soap is the best soap.

We should process neckbeard fat into soap, and then wash them with their own lard.

I just figured that 90% of the questions/issues robots seem to have are actually mostly already addressed in this film. And perhaps it's time to remind them that there is a brief 2 hour seminar on how to think about things.

To be honest - the movie is better than the book version.

>>7547633
neckbeards dont have enough money for plastic surgery, thus we cant scavenge for their fat
:(

>>7547688

What if they an hero? Then we could scavenge the whole carcass.

We be whalers! YARRRR

>>7547688
who said anything about plastic surgery ? we just break into their basements when they are in a cheeto-overdose induced sleep with a vacuum cleaner and we're in business.

thx op she hot in porno i cum so hard cat hiss and called amber lamps

Nah how about fuck you.

Wanna fight about this shit?

>>7547646
Is it?

I've never read the book and never will if you tell me the movie is better.

Here, have some brad pitt torso.

>>7547746

Well, they're both good. And both should be read, but I think the movie was crisper - more direct, it didnt over-inflate its scope.

Basically, it's a tighter more poignant piece, but you get less over all consequentially. Do read the book.

As for the rest of neckbeardopia - they should all watch this movie again, and resist the urge to think "OMG BADASS" and actually listen to the philosophies contained therein.

>>7547762

Ok I'm watching this again

>>7547590
Oh fuck it's vince offer

>>7547782

If I had my way we'd get a tinychat room and people come to /r9k/ or /adv/ and complain about their lives would sit down shut up, watch the movie and LEARN something.

But then again - I also wish I had a pony.

Movie>book.

It inspired me to stop wasting my life and do something.

i hate how people after watching fight club suddenly want to overthrow capitalism and destroy everything and start up fight clubs

the director and cast (and anyone who paid attention) know that tyler durden's philosophy should be distinguished from the philosophy of the film. He is mental, ultimately and not good

>>7547794

Ever heard of a live stream?

>>7547799
Right! People think it's about being badass. The thing is, Durden's methodologies are actually incredibly suspect - but his vision is actually rather profound.

It's not about getting into fights to be "tough" it's about understanding that identity is not created through the numerous influences society tells us it is.

Basically - the WHOLE movie is about identity. And while Durden has a lot of very good points, he's not immune from the blindness he talks about.

>>7547823
Technology changes faster than my will to keep up with it. I know of streaming, and have watched things online with others before, but my particular desire is to SCOLD people.

This is not a healthy desire - I admit. And onlineness doesnt allow for very good scolding.

move>book

even the author said so.

the problem with fight club is not that it's psuedo-intellectual clap trap.

it's actually a very poignant, thoughtful, awesome movie that has a lot to say about the modern male, society and what to do.

the problem is NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF THE MOVIE IS TYLER IS BATSHIT INSANE AT THE END OF IT AND TOTALLY WRONG.

you shouldn't try to be tyler, you should try to be the narrator. maybe a little dash of tyler like he is at the very beginning of the movie before he loses his shit.

>>7547851
You said it better than i did - but I do think that tylers points are valid - if not his methods.

And without that batshit insanity - the narrator would have learned NOTHING.

But yes, as far as emulation - it's the narrator, not durden that should be emulated.

ITT: A whole bunch of people who 'get' Fight Club masturbating into their own face.

>>7547874
Maybe - but it would still be an aid to most 4chaners.

>>7547886

Fight Club won't help most 4channers. It's just a movie.

>>7547910
Hm, let me rephrase.

4channers who bitch and moan about life, and would take the time to listen to anything new and challenging, would benefit from seeing this movie if they've not, or had forgotten it's message.

Less succinct, but more specific and accurate, i hope.

>>7547926

Some us try to implement this shit into our daily lives and still wind up in the same rough spot we started; the only difference is that we've done whatever thing.

>>7547954

It's not about improving your life, as though there is some sort of external scale you can judge it by - if you thought that the movie was about doing X to get Y, I think you missed it's point.
It's about identity and perspective, not about achieving goals.

You faggots need to read palahniuk. He uses this insightful rebellious nature in all his god damn books. That's why you people eat it up like it was world of warcraft, because you like the philosophy that knowing more makes you more dangerous. As if realizing that playing a specific tone will make payphones give you change makes you some kind of anarchist monk that corrects the system through exploiting it until it causes revolution.

>>7548005
Uh... no. What makes you think that's the presumption here. The fact that many people have that opinion? Yeah, it's a douchey opinion.

's not what we're talking about.

>>7547969

I think you're the one who missed the point.

>>7548026

Differences in opinion make it an interesting world.

>>7547969

ITT: tripfags trying to look smart.

>>7548014

Any change to your personal life based off of the movie fight club is the equivalent of studying the quidditch games from harry potter, and trying to apply it to a sport you play. You act like this is a scientific case study displaying psychological traits, instead of a fictitious social commentary.

>>7548038

Did.... did it work? :-S

>>7548049

No. Enjoy your Media Studies course/unemployment.

>>7548073
:-C An hero time I guess.

>>7548047
Actually, i think it is a great social commentary because of it's insights into the psyche of the disaffected male.

Exposure to ideas that challenge us is a good thing, It is in my opinion that r9k seems to lack much in the ways of exposure to truly difficult perspectival dynamics. "Blah blahese" for - people dont like changing their point of view or considering new ones.

Fight club could function as *one* avenue (among many) to that end. Or, are you suggesting that exposure is always useless, no one learns from anything, ever, and there is never a point to doing anything ever, or listening, watching anything ever?

Because while that might be an interesting argument - it's a different argument than the one I was discussing.

>>7548081

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just out of curiosity - why do you use a tripcode? I've never understood the appeal.

>>7548107
Convenience. I had trouble keeping track of who was talking to me when I was anon. and 4 anon's were trying to reply to one another (sometimes replying to the wrong thing, or not using the reply function but still making a point to SOMEONE in the thread).

Basically I got confused. And figured it would help - it did.

This thread is beard scratchingly fascinating.

So people CAN disappear up their own asses....

>>7548133

That's interesting. It doesn't bother you that some people (not me) think tripfags are doing it because they like attention?

>>7548107

You can find your post easier and eventually people recognize you (hopefully in a positive light) and 4chan becomes more like a traditional webforum

Fucking Fight Club fanatics.

>>7548145

Why should it? Am I going to convince you otherwise? Probably not.

That's a lot of behavior on 4chan. "Am I going to convince you otherwise? No? Then I'm not gonna bother."

>>7548160
In my experience the tripcode has not earned me anything but Ire and disdain.

If these things mattered to me, I'd stop using it.

>>7548173

Take it easy, tiger. I said I DIDN'T think tripfags were attention whores.

>>7548196

Er, the "you" wasnt YOU-you. It was a "you" of "the person who's insulting me at the moment"

Sorry, I got linguistically lazy.

>>7548162

Appreciation and admiration =/= fanaticism. Were I a fanatic, I would force it (however possible) down the throats of the unwilling.

I find that fruitless and time-wasting, dont you?
