Exactly. The spirit of the message is sound, but Fincher's attempts to exemplify the ideas through his screenplay come off very heavy handed. That said, it is an excellent flick mainly because it is pure cinema. Film snob sermon now over. |
| DMay (Mountain Home, Arkansas) | Posted: Sep 14, 2004 - 05:19 An excellent song from and excellent soundtrack from an excellent movie. "All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not." Chuck Palahniuk and Jim Uhls are very talented writers. |
| beherenow | Posted: Aug 30, 2004 - 11:21 I am my broad band connection... I am my Radio Paradise... I am my iPod... (... and this song is a big fat pretentious bulls**t "1".) We all need beauty and distractions to get us through life. And often these same "materialistic" objects and pursuits further our ability to connect with others and do good in this life. jk |

I think the line, "You are not your fucking khakis" pretty much spells it out. Unless, of course, you are. |

You kinda have to see the movie (Fight Club). The quote "self-improvement is masturbation" sums up the movie pretty well. The furniture in particular was a reference to the main character, who defined himself by his belongings, like his Ikea furniture and hand-blown glassware. Damn, I'm gonna have to watch that movie again tonight. Excellent flick, just don't get bent out of shape about the social message. |

| stripes | Posted: Jan 26, 2004 - 13:32 I usually don't like this type of stuff, but this one's great. The fact it's from fight club makes it even better :D |
| bsknight (London) | Posted: Dec 26, 2003 - 17:56 Deliver me from Swedish furniture. Brilliant. This is inspirational, ironic nihilism. |
| Euphemism (FL) | Posted: Dec 16, 2003 - 11:26 An excellent example of inspirational nihilism. Embrace the nothing, so that you can be anything you desire. Truly uplifting even if it drags you through the shadows along the way. |

| bev (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Dec 16, 2003 - 10:55 "...the revolution will NOT be televised..." or, um... "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose a future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?" |

| dungkath (Marietta, GA) | Posted: Jun 24, 2003 - 08:25 Not bad! Check out the group CONSOLIDATED if this is your cup of tea. Also books by author Chuck Palahniuk. Thanks Bill for playing some soundtrack music. It's the wave of the future folks.;) |

| jamhen (Montreal) | Posted: Jun 24, 2003 - 08:19 Whoa. Put that song on a mug and call it inspirational. I guess you had to see the movie to really appreciate the song, 'cause I didn't, and I don't. But it sure beats Christina Aguilera any day, so I do appreciate your intent, Bill. Thanks for keeping things different....  |
| rKokon (Colesville, MD) | Posted: Jun 24, 2003 - 08:18 "You have to give up . . . " "You are part of the same decaying animal matter as everyone else" and other suicide-promoting dicta . . . How nice for folks to hear early in the morning. Especially for the depressed . . . The thoughts are interestingly mixed up, but this fare is really too strong for so early in the morning. Please spare us till we have had some coffee and a couple of meals. Although we shouldn't be so decadent that we actually get to have that many meals, I realize. :???:   Well, if we can't flagellate ourselves enough, I guess we can count on the Dust Brothers to help us out! |
| ghrup1 (Stoney Creek, ON) | Posted: Jun 24, 2003 - 08:15 It sounds like a Brad Pitt rant in Fight Club. Oops I see it is by the comments below. I didn't have it loud enough to actually hear what was being said or I probably would have caught on.  |
| kenmo (Terminal-wetness, BC) | Posted: Jun 03, 2003 - 23:26 At first I thought, "what the Hell is this"; then I started to listen closely. I'm with those who don't mind it once in a very long while  |
