a huge Sigh of disappointment.. [spoilers attached]

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 1999)

I would like you to Meet American Beauty's much cooler, cousin who is suffering from a severe case of insomnia,is addicted to a plethora of prescription drugs and enjoys the delicate art of sport f***ing.. Fight Club..
I have been waiting for this movie for about 7 months... David Fincher's producers tortured and teased me by promoting the trailer release for July 10... sitting in the theater for the first of the three times I have seen this film i knew I was in for a treat when..(exactly like the first time i saw se7en) I was hanging on every word, every scene, every gesture of the camera.. at the same time being interrupted by 5 to 6 people leaving in utter disgust..at various points of the film.. those people brought a smile to my face
This film is a journey into the hearts and souls of those pencil pushing male corporate employees in there late 20s to 30s. who probably in college were one of those marketing/psychology majors that were so frequent in number during glorious 80s.. These are the men who are told at there place of employment to "THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX" This generation of men that have nothing to look forward to except those incredible highs one gets from purchasing useless goods and their exciting 401k plan. This film shows that many are not content with what they have become.. (Fincher has said he went through this period himself,when he was shooting Madonna and Paula Abdul videos)..Solution...become the exact opposite of that which makes you so boring..take off the cornflower blue suit and tie of yours...and see what it feels like to pound and get pounded into oblivion.
love,
Eric's warm gentle heart
P.S. the big sigh comes from the disgust that this film was over shadowed by Double Jeopardy...
