fight club

I am calling bullshit on Fight Club, it was a great movie and it was true to the book but the book itself is bullshit. I read the book after Negar quoted parts of it and I saw the movie for a second time on TNT.
* napalm you don’t make it with soda you make it with gelatin or Styrofoam cups. Why go through the trouble of giving a recipe if you are going to give the wrong recipe ?
*Fighting with bare fists, you will mostly likely break your fingers or your knuckles in the first fight. That’s it end of fight club.
*Breaking your nose hurts like hell, you bleed all over the place and once you have broken your nose your face swells to such a high degree you can barely open your eyes. So you won’t be coming back to fight club for at least a month.
Beside those little things it was a pretty fun book. I couldn’t relate to main character even though he lived in airports, he had no friends or family. How can you be that anti-social, I am pretty anti-social and even I have managed to have a few friends to call me on occasion to chat about my IKEA furniture.
On a completely unrelated note, somehow I’ve lost the link to Garrett in NYC. He’s been providing porn and amusement to my mail box for a long time and I encourage you to go sign up for his newsletter.

from what i understand they had to change the recipe so impressionable youngsters wouldn’t try to copy it. of course it’s available online but still.. i can’t possibly imagine this movie being made post 9/11.
it’s one of my favourite movies, but i think i’m starting to outgrow it. but still. good.
yeah it’s one google search away from the anarchist handbook.
and you are right today they would never make this movie.
