A quote from a great review:
“It’s macho porn — the sex movie Hollywood has been moving toward for years, in which eroticism between the sexes is replaced by all-guy locker-room fights. Women, who have had a lifetime of practice at dealing with little-boy posturing, will instinctively see through it; men may get off on the testosterone rush…
Is Tyler Durden in fact a leader of men with a useful
philosophy? “It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to
do anything,” he says, sounding like a man who tripped over the Nietzsche display on his way to the coffee bar in Borders. In my opinion, he has no useful truths. He’s a bully–Werner Erhard plus S&M, a leather club operator without the decor.” – Roger Ebert
Ebert on ‘Fight Club’
Brilliant. Almost on the level of Christgau’s finest.
And a quote from a sweet, charming little unrecognized movie:
I’m Justin.
Justin…[sternly] Justin. [considering] Justin. Hmm.
And you are?
I’m what?
Your name is…
[whispering] January, February, March, April. April!
Stop! Oh! Oh oh oh! Dinner, I have a question. Did your girlfriend just make up her name?
