Get a life and stop angstifying it. Damn hillbillies. Fight Club's a lousy piece of shit that tries too hard.

You're a lousy piece of shit that tries too hard.

Sure, a lot of it's bullshit, but just about everything it has to say about materialism and everything that you ever do amounting to nothing hits the nail right on the head.

How does it "try too hard?" Honestly.

Anyway, the game defeats the purpose of Fight Club. Fight Club exists because people are tired of their wage slavery and their materialistic consumer lifestyles so they beat the shit out of each other to feel real pain and snap out of their fake lives.

Simulating it through a videogame makes it fake and trivilizes the message.

Boo hoo, the materialism schtick had already been done to death when Fight Club came out. If you want something anti-materialism I can produce quite a long list of things which have already handled the subject quite well.

Anyway, it's all the nihilistic college-dropout-film studen bullshit in the movie that I can't stand. Cry me a river, asshole.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

We've discussed the whole angst thing. I'm not depressed and I don't have anxiety. I just hate people.

You think I don't realize the materialism schtick has been done to death?

So you're saying that anything that has similar/derivative ideas ever is not as valid as anything that came before it?

Does it really even matter as long as it has good quality?

Fight Club is good because it makes anti-materialism fun, pumps it full of artificial beef-flavored idealism and Buddhist bullshit. It's funner than a book. So what?

Also, I'll cry you a river...the better for me to DROWN YOU IN.

People should read more books. That way they'd be less stupid.

So go read books.

Now.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Chuck Palhugawagablahblah (I forget how to spell his name) sounds like an interesting writer. I want to pick up one of his books. There's this one about a beauty pageant contest....and I forget the name of it. My brain isn't working today. Anyway, it sounds appealingly twisted.

You're definitely right. The book goes into greater detail. Also, the ending of the movie kind of ruins the whole point of the book. They Hollywood it up.

Oh, and sorry Franz. I'm being stupid.

There's a difference between being an asshole and being angsty. If you take my insults seriously, then it's plain and simple that you're a moron, but not many of my opinions (or the way I act beyond that) are that angsty. Quite simply, I insult people because I'm an asshole, and I'm anti-bullshit. So what? I don't take myself all too seriously. Really, I'm quite the impulsive person, and I really don't understand the whole concept of being angsty to begin with.

Fuck you, you gummy little wad of pus.

Oh and by the way Dingo, you missed the complete point of my above post (why I was saying Fight Club sucks).
