THE FOURTH RULE OF FIGHT CLUB IS…DANCE?
I’m going to prep this post by saying, I will be venting. I apologize if I offend anybody by saying my true feelings about this film. If I do offend you…your taste in movies are questionable.
Well to be honest, I was completely shocked when I saw the video below. I will wait for you to watch this horrendous pile of putrid vomit. Enjoy. Find me below.
Well, lets start with the obvious. I love musicals and I love film. I love the combination of the film medium infused together with song and dance.
I love the movie Fight Club and I think it is one of the greatest movies of all time. Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helen Bonham Carter are all top-notch in their roles in this film.
Now having said that…. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears when I came across this “remake”. The first thing I wanted to do was club a baby seal and then set my hair on fire.
This might be one of the worst ideas to ever be imagined. To be honest, remakes are becoming more and more trendy with older films that “need to be updated” and I can live with that. Is Fight Club even out dated? I don’t think so
Please, post your comments below, would love to know your initial reactions about this hideous piece of work.
Also, hold your breath, they are also working on a Bollywood musical of Back to the Future. Ugh….

I am sorry but…that…looks…AWESOME! And a Bollywood remake of BTTF?! I’m totally in.
Look, I enjoyed Fight Club as much as anybody else but c’mon, it aint the Gospels. Who gives a shit? Nobody’s going to see this remake and you can still enjoy your overrated original anytime you want on Blue Ray or DVD or at every bro guy house party you’ll ever go to.
Back to the Future? I was a huge fan too. I was eight when it came out. I am an adult now and so don’t care what happens to the “legacy” of the Back to the Future franchise. I am not particularly into 80’s nostalgia and would love for people to forget about that decade.

Not a lot of things could you shrug at upon hearing there’s going to be a musical remake. For this, I thought, that’d be funny. Ridiculous, tacky, probably wrong, but probably a little funny. I was imagining an Off-Broadway show.
No one should blame the author for this, because I can quote him as having said, “It’s really easy to just accept a check, and tell them good luck.” He went on to explain how he wasn’t sure how they could possibly do it, but more power to them; the movie stands upright just fine by itself, and it has a sort of Cult status that makes it strong enough to withstand really bad jokes. Like this musical.
Then we all went on to talk about our lack of political conviction.

Reminds me that there is a group in SF that was highlighted int he Discovery channel show “Fight Quest” that depicts a rather cult-like following of questionably sane characters that meet in a ware-house and practice a “no holds barred” style fighting. They kept calling it “‘The Real’ Fight Club.” Guess the term has become a general phrase for letting out aggressions in a secluded group.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:21 amI’m sorry but I think this is a stupid idea. Remakes in general are stupid. I would support a sequel before this crap. What happened to original ideas?
