The first time I saw fight club in the theater the real broke. I thought that it was actually part of the film until the projection crew came downstairs with management and said that the bulb had melted through the film and then we could go into another theater to finish watching it free of charge.
Isn’t there also a copyright warning that plays briefly before the film but, if you’re fast and attentive enough, you’ll see that it’s written by Tyler?
You know the part in the film where Tyler points to the top right of the screen and the cigarette burn appears as the Narrator explains what it is, I thought of way it could maybe have been incorporated into the film again.
In the scene where the Narrator finds out he and Tyler are one and the same, when Tyler stands up and the Narrator falls to the bed unconscious, what if, as he does so, a cigarette burn appears. A neat callback to the earlier instance while also being relevant to what’s just happened with Tyler taking over the Narrator’s body -- “That’s the cue for a change over.” In this instance, the first cigarette burn would serve as a setup for the second, more impactful one.
Missed these in theaters. Had an uber-conservative parent, so I had to hide all of my Palahniuk books when I was a teen. No way in hay they would let me go see the movie. When I moved out, the first two DVDs I bought for myself were Fight Club and Queen of the Damned. I still have both of them! The Fight Club movie came in a really cool package back then.
Fight Club blew my mind when I read it. I was taking the Zen Precepts at the time. I told my techer about it. She took it as a symptom. I took it as an exit from living for the office and living for my apartment. In another life 4 years later I am reading Choke in Bogata. Bombs going off. A sweet Columbiana invites me to sit with her friends. Two weeks later she drives me out into the country to go dancing. She turns to me and says: "How do you know I am not kidnapping you?"...
Did you hear that, Colton? "No one has the right to touch you in your bathing suit area." P.S. I've been wanting to tell you how great your story was, for so many reasons! I'm so excited about the stories we heard on Monday. I'm not sure where the appropriate place to talk about Story Night is. Or if there is a "we don't talk about write club" rule. I was nervous there would be a "if it's your first night you have to write" surprise, especially when I walked into the bar and there was an Edward Norton movie playing (Glass Onion). A coincidence per Karyn. The event was inspiring, man. I was just reminded of a weird celebrity moment, and because of Joe's Bette Davis story, I started shaping it into something. A writing community matters.
On the Blu-ray copy I have for ‘Fight Club’, before the main menu starts, there’s a fake out with a main menu from that Drew Barrymore movie, ‘Never Been Kissed’. It lingers there just long enough for someone who’s just bought the blu-ray to think that there’s somehow been a mixup with the discs and they’ve ended up with a chick-flick. But then, after a couple of seconds, it starts to flicker and glitch and is soon replaced by the actual main menu for ‘Fight Club’.

These are GREAT.

Was she?
I answered "Well if you are kidnapping me it is going to be an adventure!!". She liked my insouciance.
We went out dancing.
😁
This is AMAZING HAHAHH! PAGERS!!!
I know, the pagers thing cracked me up.
I still have mine!! I found it in my pencil box!!!
It’s probably worth a fortune!!!
Omg you think? They actually are worth something now?
These were also collected in the good old DVD extras though, right? I think there were quite a few.
