Fight Club videogame: worst idea ever

No, not really. I got it.

You couldn't have been more direct.

If you want to see a shitty movie, go watch The Big Lebowski. I just watched that and it was all pretty pointless.

Fuck you, The Big Lebowski was great.

It was alright. It doesn't have a climax or anything. It's just too relaxed for my tastes. Coen brothers just sat around one day and were like "Hmmmm, let's make a movie with really crazy characters such as a Vietnam veteran, a feminist artist that talks about vaginas with a British accent, and a group of nihilists that run around with a ferret on a leash destroying things. Oh, and an incoherent plot that doesn't really go anywhere."

So many people hyped this up to be THE movie. It felt very average, like how every Kevin Smith movie is. Kevin Smith is also overhyped out the ass.

The Big Lebowski is good, but I really don't see what's so special about it. (Care to tell me?) It's fairly average as good movies go. As Dingo said, it suffers from the Kevin Smith syndrome. :/

The Coen brothers do rock, though, but their best movies are Fargo and Blood Simple.

The Big Lebowski is a detective story about a man who is in no way, shape, or form a detective. You say it's "too relaxed", that "it's just an excuse to introduce wacky characters"--which is true, in one light. As a detective story it stands to just introduce a cavalcade of oddball characters as you try to figure out the mystery. (What the hell happened to Bunny Lebowski?) On another level, it's great because the detective-instead of being a tough, street smart guy in a fedora and trenchcoat-is a lazy, White Russian drinking bum with no talent or skills. Anyways, I thought it was funny, and at the very least now when I yell "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS" I can say I got it from a movie.

Didn't she drive off to las vegas?

I liked it. I don't care if the characters were oddballs or too wacky, they were memorable and it suited the movie. It wasn't some gritty realistic bunch of crap, because no movie has that. It wouldn't be very intresting. Taxi Drivers filled with oddballs too, does that make it an average good movie? Not that the big lebowski and taxi driver are in the same league.

Yeah, she drove to Las Vegas...the slut. And yes, the over-the-top feeling of many of the characters (The Jesus and Walter spring immediately to mind) was perfect for the movie. I don't know, it's one of my favorite movies.

I think you have Walter (the overweight, Jewish divorcee who pulled a handgun on someone during a bowling match) confused with Donnie. (Steve Buscemi)

Yea. I think you made a switch-a-rue there Megatron. Walter was the mentally unstabile Nam vet.

Awwww hell. Look at these screenshots.

John Turturro rules. He was my favorite character (Jesus, the perverted bowler.)

The movie is years old by now. Why the utter fucking bionical HELL are they making the game 4 or 5 years after the movie?

So much for my nice idea of how the game SHOULD have been. I can always count on developers to dissapoint me....except for Steve. He does a pretty good job....mainly cause he listens to me.

I imagine they'll have "special moves" for the charaters, too. This is pretty disgusting, but at least it's good irony.

PS: Fuck you. Fight Club was a good movie and a better book.
PPS: Fuck you. The Big Lebowski is some brilliant comedy.
EDIT: As far as why the latter is true, it seriously has some of the best comedic dialogue I've seen in a movie. The way Jeff Bridges and John Goodman play off each other is amazing, and the timing is unbelievably tight.

The robot tells no lies.

As for the Fight Club screenshots: it looks like one of those queer wrestling games...they've turned Fight Club into HARDCORE SMACKDOWN RUB YOUR DICKS 2003.
