FIGHT CLUB dvd delay and why
Hey folks, Harry here with a quick bit of info from Jack's Colon about the delayed release of THE FIGHT CLUB dvd... a dvd that pretty much everyone of us geeks is uh waiting for. So here yas goes...
Hey Harry,
You may know by now that the Fight Club DVD has been delayed until June 6. I have word that this is because they are filling the disks up with all sorts of goodies:
- 2 disks
- Trailers
- Interviews
- Photo Gallery
- 5 Commentary tracks:
- David Fincher
- Brad Pitt
- Helena Bonham Carter
- The Dust Brothers
- Chuck Palahniuk (author of the novel)
- Deleted Scenes (including a musical number by Pitt and Norton)
- Several Alternate Endings
I hope this info helps.

Hope they have the trailers that both Brad Pitt and Ed Norton talked about...with each character standing against a neutral background saying making comments about life and the movie and whatnot. I don't remember what they say, and that is why I want it on the dvd. Anyway, I'm first in posting!
-
The unused trailers you're talking about had one of the actors pointing out the fire exits and then warning about other audience members touching your "private areas", and the other was a no-smoking message followed by the tidbit that it's true you can drink your own urine. Of course the studio, and I'm sure the theatre chains, felt this was a bit too subversive an ad campaign, not to mention offensive. Personally I think it would have been the greatest thing of all time if they were run between other trailers, but hey, that's me. As for the DVD case, I hope to god it's not the one that is being used for the VHS box. It's horrendous and looks like the cover art for some cheesy teen-comedy or something by Nickelodeon. The cover should have been the bar of soap, nothing else. Either way, this will be the best DVD of 2000, just as I felt the film was the best of 1999.
-
Woo-hoo! This DVD is gonna be freakin' awesome. Does anybody know what the alternate endings will be like? Wait...maybe I don't want to know yet. I can't wait to hear those commentary tracks. And a musical number, eh? Coooool.
-
Here it is...
http://www.reel.com/movie.asp?MID=45652
Note that Reel's site doesn't have the new details up yet. I also left out the "Making of Fight Club" Featurette and the fact that one of the endings is a "happilly ever after" ending (Harry mentioned this in a post a few weeks ago). -
"Fight Club" was a great film...real characters, a fresh story, pure adrenaline. So why the hell didn't it get nominated for what it deserved...make-up, cinematography, Ed Norton, best adapted, best director, best picture. In two words: Sixth Sense. Granted, 6th Sense also rocked, but wasn't nearly as good a film. If anything FC was discriminated against (if you'll allow me this soapbox) because some idiots who didn't even see it thought it was pro-violence. If you watch it and intelligentlly deconstruct it the film is decidely anti-violence.
-
This is the kind of stuff I wanted to see in this movie. Stuff that was just so off kilt,... it would've been perfect. Though, I still liked the movie (and I actually like it more the more I think about it), I still felt there was something missing, something I was expecting. David Fincher rocks, but I wanted the camera work to be more, I don't know, in-your-face-ish. More, uh, non-traditional. (more stuff like the IKEA thing, or the tracking of the gas leak, or just a couple beats of a stright frontal shot of stuff). I wanted to see something so, out there. Like the musical number. I wanted it to be more, um, Being John Malckovich-ish, but without having to be John Malckovich. You know? The spoken of PSA-esque trailers(which you can, or could, see at the website) was what made me expect stuff like this. What was my point? Oh yeah, I want to see all the deleated stuff("If they left that in, who knows what they took out?") and this is the kind of movie that would make me want to buy a DVD player even if Back To The Future was never gonna come out in the format.(Oh, BTW, ***spoiler***, but one of the ALT endings is that the Brad Pitt part of Norton psychy is the one who survives).
-
The list of special features mentioned above for the "Fight Club" DVD is somewhat like the infamous pre-announcement Oscar nominations posted here at AICN: a mixed bag. For instance, there are no alternate endings because none were ever shot. So scratch that from the list. BUT, Edward Norton did indeed record commentary for the DVD, so add that to the list. Don't get me wrong...this is going to be an AMAZING two-disc DVD set, but the list above isn't completely acurate. Also, the delay of the DVD has less to do with the supplements than with Fox's marketing stragtegy and Fincher's desire to make the anamorphic transfer the best it can be. FYI.
-
...that no matter how many bone crunching blood gushing head and face injuries the lead actors receive, they will never have more than a black eye or band-aid as visible wounds
-
Damn, I was hoping for the ending in the book to be one of them. Oh well, it'll still be cool as shit though. Right after I saw the movie on opening day, I knew it was soon going to be time to buy DVD player, and Fight Club is the perfect christening ceremony.
-
Ive read about the alts. from DVDFILE, which gets it's info from the studios itself. Some of them are-
1) At the end, the Tyler half is the one that survives...
2) The building bombs fail to go off....
There are some more, I think two, but I cant remember the rest.
Think about it, as many twists as Fight Club has, do you actually think they would'nt film some ending options? This IS Fincher. -
Hey there! Does anyone have any more info on this supposed musical number? Or where I could get this info? I would really love anything you can tell me- what song, if they dance, etc. I'm writing my thesis on this stuff, so the inclusion of a kick a$$ film like Fight Club would be a real coup. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
-
MAN I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE I'M A DUMBASS FOR TYPING IN ALL CAPS. BUT I CANNOT EXPRESS THE OVERWHELMING JOY I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW. FIGHT CLUB IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER WITNESSED. I WATCHED IT THE FIRST TIME BY MYSELF AND I LEFT THE THEATRE WITH A MASSIVE GRIN, MY BRAIN TRYING TO PONDER WHAT I JUST SAW. I WISH EVERY TIME ANYONE WENT TO THE MOVIES THEY HAD THE SAME FEELING I HAD WHEN I LEFT. THE SECOND AND EVEN THE THIRD TIME I SAW IT, MY HEART POUNDED IN MY CHEST IN THE KEY MOMENTS. YOU HAVE YOU -MUST- SEE THE FILM AT LEAST TWICE TO SEE IT AT ALL. I SUGGEST TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND ENJOYED IT HALF AS MUCH AS I DID TO GO READ THE BOOK BECAUSE IT GOES MORE INDEPTH INTO FIGHT CLUB AND PRJT MYHM. I HATE TO READ AND I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN. ONCE AGAIN FIGHT CLUB IS JUST SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THE CRAP THAT I SAW IN THE THEATRE THIS YEAR IT WAS SO ........WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE. THEY COULD CHARGE 500 DOLLARS FOR THIS DVD AND I'D BE OUT SELLIN DRUGS OR ROBBING OLD LADIES TO GET THE MONEY. GET THIS DVD GET IT GET IT GET IT. IT'LL BE WORTH THE WAIT. I NEED TO STOP.....IF I THINK ANYMORE I'M GONNA NUT MYSELF --THANKS FOR YOUR TIME--
-
It's extremely unlikely that all the commentary tracks listed will be available; far more likely is that all the listed folks' commentaries will be combined into one or more commentary tracks. There simple isn't enough space on a disk for that many tracks. The only other option would be to use the second disk to house an identical copy of the movie, but provide different alternate commentary tracks. I seriously doubt anyone would go to that much trouble for so little gain. Fight Club IS a pretty long movie by DVD standards, so maybe they're cramming the second disk full of the trailers, making of, etc etc... I doubt we'll have as many commentary tracks as listed, though.
-
On the Official Chuck Palahniuk website, they say that there is a song called PENIS sung by Pitt and Norton. Also, there are lots of rumours about Palahnuik's next movie Survival. Supposedly, Jim Carrey wants to star in it, and Jerry Brockheimer wants to produce. Danny Boyle and Sam Mendes are both potential directors. The book is suppose to be in the same style as Fight Club, and is very dark and sometimes disturbing. If this is all true, then this movie could be THE ONE(next to Fight Club, ofcourse)
-
I'm sure those "5" tracks are instead 5 commentators. What would Brad Pitt have to say isolated from Carter, or Fincher, for that matter?
I think they'll make a combination of handling the film. There might be a cast commentary, with the director, like with Kevin Smith's films(this seems to be the pattern with Fincher--at least with his laser discs), and then a scorer track, with the Dust Brothers. Palahniuk may or may not comment with the cast and director.
The Matrix, as you may remember, had a cast and effects-technicians commentary track, as well as one by the composer, DOn Davis. This was on one disc.
As for the handling of the second disc, this may be like the Brazil Criterion 3-disc set(which I have to get eventually, as I remember), or it may be like the Army of Darkness special 2-disc edition. Either bonus materials on the disc, or another print of the flick on it. Who knows.
Either way, it'll kick ass, and I will buy it.

FIGHT CLUB WAS THE BEST MOVIE THAT CAME OUT LAST YEAR. TAKE YOUR AMERICAN BEAUTY AND YOUR CIDER HOUSE RULES, TURN THEM SUMS A BITCHES SIDEWAYS, AND STICK EM UP YER CANDY ASSES. THIS WAS DAVID FINCHER'S MASTERPIECE, THE GUY REALLY OUTDID HIMSELF. WHAT A GENIUS. EVERYBODY HATED THIS MOVIE AND I CAN SEE WHY, IT WAS ADVERTISED LIKE A VAN DAMME FLICK. IT WAS REALLY AN EXISTENTIALIST, NEO NIEZTCHE PAEN TO ANARCY. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. FIGHT CLUB IS A TRUE AMERICAN BEAUTY.
-
I'm not talking about how good or bad the movie was here (I liked it but not as much as some of you guys). No, "Fight Club" messed up other movies for me by something they revealed about movies in general. You remember the scene where Brad and Edward Norton tell the audience about "cigarette burns" that pop up in the upper right corner for a couple of frames right before the camera shot changes? Well now I see it every time I go to the movies. It seems to happen in all movies at the end of every camera shot. I never paid much attention to it before but now thanks to "Fight Club" the damn cigarette burn jumps out at me and takes me right out of the moment. It'll probably be years before I can go back to ignoring the damn thing. Thanks a lot "Fight Club." If I see Brad Pitt or Edward Norton on the street somewhere I'm gonna kick both their asses.
-
Naughty Sauce: If you are even a moderate film-fan how could you have not known about the reel change markers previous to Fight Club?
-
I'd like to amend something in Frank_dj_tanner's post. The name of Palahniuk's follow-up novel to "Fight Club" is called "Survivor," not "Survival." This would be a pretty cool movie, if it gets made. The story is about Tender Branson, the last surviving member of a mysterious cult, who is dictating his life story into the black-box on an airplane that's on a collision course for the Australian outback. It's one of those "Here's how I got to this point" storys. A great read for anyone that's interested.

'Cigarette burns' in movies. Oh yeah, and THAT video cover.
by mickey finn
Naughty Sauce, the same thing
-
...and the prospect of Bruckheimer producing Survivor. Please DO NOT let this happen! Oh, and considering the cut that Fincher wanted to release initially was three hours long, there should be some narcotically good cookies for us space-monkeys on that little g-spot of aluminum.
-
This sounds like the ultimate DVD for the second best movie of 1999. Now all I need is to get my aunt to mail me the European DVD of Eyes Wide Shut... thank Idiots for non-region locked DVD drives! =)
-
I meant that FC was the *third* best movie of 1999. Being John Malkovich was my #2 - 60ft-tall Emily Dickinson puppet reciting "I heard a fly buzz..." - HAHAHAH!!!
-
There's something funny about buying a DVD player just so you can watch Fight Club. Isn't that contrary to the whole point of the movie?
-
No. They should release a "bare-bones" DVD now, just to tide us over, then go ahead and release the super-special-edition DVD whenever it gets ready. I don't think true fans would mind buying it twice. This is so unfair.

FIGHT CLUB DVD/VCD, DARTH BOND, CIGARETTE BURNS, AND OTHER MISC.
by op8
Hey Darth Bond, I hope you didn't have to pay for that bootleg of Fight Club on VCD. I downloaded it as an mpeg 2 months ago, and have been watching it ever since. ftp sites are the best when it comes to downloading free bootleg movies. did you notice though how cropped it was? these camcorder bootlegs really suck. The Dogma bootleg is actually widescreen, so it's the best bootleg I have seen thus far. Though it pales in comparison with Fight Club!! All of you complaining about the "Cigarette Burns" well on the bootleg you cannot even see it, it's too far off the screen. And if that small creative ingenuity gets your panties in a bunch, you have no right to call yourself a film buff. I agree with gfm, you should know when a reel change occurs, if you didn't, I think it's pretty damn cool for fincher to point that out to us. and the family film/nice big cock scene shot was truly creative. like most others, when I heard the dvd was being delayed I went outside and shouted obscenities into the air, but at least they are making it a better dvd. It's worth waiting for, in my opinion. just like the release of Braveheart, they keep pushing it back further, so when it comes out, Mel Gibson had better hand deliver it to everyone!! American Beauty was good, The Hurricane was great, The Insider was a good drama, Man On The Moon kicked ass, I haven't seen Topsy Turvy, nor do I have any desire to, but Fight Club ruled 1999. People were walking up to me saying "how ya doing" and all I could say was "fight club"...."what's for dinner honey?".....fight club. "Hey son it's your mom, can you come over and fix that damn blinking 12:00 on my vcr?".....FIGHT CLUB MOM!!! I didn't think anything could touch the Matrix until I saw Fight Club. And I saw it twice in the same day. 3 times in the same weekend. and 4 times by the end of the week. well, this conversation....... is over.
-
There seems to be some confusion on just how many commentaries can be on a DVD. While 5 certainly seems like a lot, I know that the Contact DVD had three or four separate commentaries on it, and the DVD for City of Angels had several commentaries as well. If there are such limitations, I would like to see a full commentary by Fincher, alone, as well as tracks be Pitt and Norton (they can skip Bonham Carter IMO), and then one by the author, Palahniuk. If they can squeeze in The Dust Brothers, that would be cool, but that would be my least desired track. Otherwise, I am going out of my mind waiting for this DVD--and I REALLY hope they change the DVD cover art!!
-Det. Jack Vincennes -
Well, yes, films can certainly have more than one commentary track -- I have a couple where they have a director/actors track and a scorer or cinematographer track... but 5 is a LOT, and not really practical for a movie as long as fight club (without doing something stupid like making you switch disks partway through). For my money, I'd like a director & author track, and a track with all the actors on it. Beyond that, I don't really care -- music folks tend to not have enough to talk about, I find, other than restating the obvious about a scene and mentioning recurring musical themes.

If you guys like Fight Club so much, go to Tyler and Jack's Bloodstained Basement
http://www.geocities.com/tylerandjacks -
I love it when they change a movie's advertising for cover boxes. Whenever a movie tanks at the theater (Judge Dredd, Johnny Mnemonic, Fight Club) movie execs tend to think "Maybe if we come up with a different cover, one where we really cram the face of the star in, then people will rent the movie." This thinking is absurd, and it just cheapens the movie. The original Fight Club posters were awesome. Leave it alone.
-
I think it would be a little dumb to have 5 separate commentaries, it's hard for anyone (maybe excluding the director) to not run out of steam over the course of a long film. I prefer when there is more they one person, and you actually hear discussion, which can bring about some interesting points. They also might take clips from separately recorded commentaries; see the Last Temptation of Christ DVD, which was previewed last month on IFC, and had Scorsese, Willem Dafoe, Paul Schrader, and I think the producer. But Scorsese never views his own films, so they probably just took clips from interviews. One of the best commentaries I have is the one from the English Patient, with the director, producer, and novel's author. I think Chuck Palahniuk was on the set of FC often, so him, Fincher, and Pitt probably have enough camaraderie to do it together. *** As for cover art, I was hoping Eyes WIde Shut would have been done with the "Stanley Kubrick Collection" heading that was on the recent releases. It would look nice on the shelf. I guess keeping the poster art is the most we could hope for. What would be fitting for the U.S. release is to have a big black figure obscuring the middle of the cover. *** Also, regarding FC's alternate endings, the book's ending (SPOILER) points out that Tyler mixed the nitro with paraffin, which would prevent any of the bombs from exploding. But the final pages of Tyler in the mental institution with bruised hospital workers saying "We miss you, Mr. Durden" and "We're looking forward to getting you back." would have been a much creepier ending, as opposed to Fincher's satirical apocalyptic funny ending. I don't know which I like better...but the book one would have had people saying "Sequel?" Fight Club 2: The Return of Tyler
-
I've heard in several places that the delay is NOT due to the massive amount of supplements. And a lot of stuff is not entirely accurate. I don't know the exact details, but I do know that I've heard tons of different versions of the disc(s)'s content, and you shouldn't immediately believe what you hear. Besides, the contact's info seemed sketchy (BTW, Bonham-Carter's track will be via satellite). And I also question the concept of separate discs when they can just throw it onto the reverse side. Oh, well.
FOR FANS OF THE FILM:

.........reached it's apex with the video release of "out of sight". talk about ruining an amazing poster. fight club rules, but i'm not supposed to talk about it.
-
I cant see if this is a good thing or a bad one cause I want it know but if it does have all these extra goods GREAT! I also heard what some of the different endings where. Whether they are true or not but here they are. One. is a super doopy happy ending and Two. Brad Pitt kills Ed Norton. Hopefully it will also have the end of the book just to see what it's like because I thought it sounded pretty cool personally. I don't know about the American version but the British one didn't have a bit where you see Jared Leto's nose explodes after Ed kicks the shit out of him. Just thought you might like to know that. Thank You for reading this.
-
the dvd sounds great but i wonder ?howmany features will reach us mortals in region2 ?(no my player has not been chipped yet) i'd say very few ,1 commentry and the trailer and if we're lucky analternate ending.life in ireland blows (when talking dvds)
-
I guess everyone here is a bit young to remember good old laserdisc, but I'm betting the commentary track (singular) will be the same format as Criterion's phenominal collector's box set for Se7en. There were quite a few commentaries recorded separately, edited into one final track, with Brad Pitt introducing each cast/crew member whenever the speaker changed. This is a classic box I hope all you little DVD accolytes (no. I'm no myopic Laserdisc diehard - I'm making the jump to DVD as soon as my mighty G4 arrives) will run out & get when they convert it. Alternate takes and extras aplenty - especially the poor guy that played 'sloth'!
-
Fight club SUCKS!!!!! Yes you punk ass anarchists can just deal with that fact...We can hear how david "I cant do a third act " fincher thinks that yes you can be a 300 pound fat slug and learn to scale bulidings like a commando become a expert bomb maker over night...Oh I can hear the whiny goths (still upset over the fact Curt Cobain dint not rise from the dead on Jan 1st 2000) say IT WAS THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER AUDENCES LOVED IT SO THERE YOU CAPITALIST PIG! But keep this in mind: Meet Joe Black made more money than FC. And despite Harry Knowles masterbating over this pice of shit and punk ass liberals having orgasms this MOVIE FUCKING FAILED MISERABLY!!!! I mean it struggled to BEAT double jeporady in its openig weekend YEAH THATS RIGHT THIS MOVIE HAD TO STRUGGLE TO BEAT A CHICK FLICK THEN IT DIED QUICKLY AFTER THAT!!!!!And in forgien returns it did not gross much more...Yes the movie sucked...Yes It wimps out in the end...Yes there are logic holes all over the place.......But you losers just cant see the truth you want to give fox $100 for this shit you go right ahead I'll wait for the kick ass GREEN MILE DVD...
-
Well, to address a few points in the rambling, incoherent mass preceding this post: 1. Meatloaf's character was hardly an expert... he got shot in the head. 2. If I could be taught how to rappel as a 14 year old boy scout, anyone can. It ain't that hard. 3. his character didn't specifically make the bombs in the movie. 4. since when does box office count as an argument for or against the quality of a movie?
-
You missed the point...I still hear losers having argams over this POS when in reality they should have fox burn the goddamn negitive...DEATH TO FIGHT CLUB!!!!!
-
The "spots" you are seeing at the end of every camera shot are mere figments of your imagination, I'm afraid. Cigarette burns occur only at reel changes, which happen much less frequently, and the switching of projectors hardly happens at all any more. The film reels are spooled onto one big platter. The burns are still there, but they occur about every twenty minutes or so, not for every camera shot - thank God.
-
Lots of commentary but none from David Norton?
Very interested to see alternate endings..
-
Angry Catholic is just plain wrong. Most films earm back there money by the the time they have gone into Video, Dvd and the cable channels. Antyway people willl still be watching Fight Club in 15 years time its that good.
-
fight club full of holes? not really considering its the POV of an insane man and when you try to justify your so called plot holes, they re all rubish. you want pot holes? go watch the sixth sense, the biggets piece of shit to be nomintaed for awards in its story, it gets cold when there are dead people? no it doesn't, they turn the thermostat down as you see in an early scene, why does only cole get cols near ghosts? why does bruces wife only get cold at the end? and its a good thing the masses are dumb as shit and didn't see the twist coming cos it would be a shame if more smart people were in the world who sw it a mile away. and as for green mile? you mean darabont, the guy who criticies the unoriginality and bad film making of so called mtv film making. the same guy who mae one over rated yet still very good film, and then follows up with a sequel with new characters and gets 'sorry we forgot last time' oscar nominations.
-
Just kidding. This is definately first on my list for movies to buy!
-
First of all David "I can't do a third act" Fincher has done two of the best third acts I have ever seen: the endgame of SE7EN was absolutely perfect, and scarier than the ending to any horror movie I have ever seen, and the ending to THE GAME was incredibly moving and surprising for me (mainly because knowing that it was directed by Fincher, I fully expected to see the credits roll before he even landed after walking off the ledge). Second of all, FIGHT CLUB was quite successful overseas, earning around 100 million overall. Not a bad take for a movie that only cost sixty mil to make, and that is before any of the video and DVD figures come in (make no mistake, this is a movie that will grow and find its audience on DVD; plenty of movies, from BLADE RUNNER to CLERKS, have made virtually no money at the box office and become absolute smashes throughout their life on video). And third of all, who says they learned this shit overnight? No mention is made throughout the movie how much time passes between the events taking place on screen, but then again you probably snuck into the theater and didn't have your mom there to point that out to you, did you Angry?
-
Hmm
I read an interview with some FX guys form FC an www.vfxpro.com (or something like that) and they mentioned that there was more blood and you could see the bullet go in and out in the last shot where norton shoots him! he also said that there was a stuardess wich came into the turbin. He also said that we may see these scenes on the dvd!
PS: sorry for my english -
Well, alright, I respect your right to dislike the movie, naturally (when it's intelligently expressed). But I would suggest that whether you like the idea behind the anarchist interpretation you came out of the theater with, this was still a good movie. Any time I feel truly exhilarated leaving the theater... well, that movie's a keeper. Fight Club definitely pressed that button for me. But hey, to each his own.
-
So far, the DVD is marked as unrated. I have no idea what this means, if anything.

...Um....what's the big deal? I mean it's an OK movie, but to listen to some of you here it's like the best movie ever made. I wonder if we saw the same movie. I was even yawning half way through it. Oh well....I'll take another look at it when it comes out on DVD to see if I missed anything.
-
...but it was no masterpiece. The first hour was great, a smart, jet-black satire about soulless commercialism and self- help culture. Unfortunatly, once the plot (such as it is) got into gear, intelligence went out the window. I know all you space monkeys out there will assume that I "just didn't get it", but you can think what you like. Flashy visuals and pandering slogans are no substitute for ideas. The acting was very good though.
-
Yes, I've actually seen the musical number, and it's quite hilarious. It's not actually a scene from the film, just Pitt and Norton screwing around on the set. They're sitting at the bottom of a staircase, guitars in hand, singing the song that goes, "Venus, if you will..." but substituting "Venus" with "Penis." And they can both play guitar well, it seems.
-
Hey, all of you supposive die hard fight club freaks who are talking about paying crazy sums of money (500+!!) or even purchasing DVD players just to watch the movie, didnt Fight Club teach you anything? If you want to live up to all of your ramblings you WILL steal the damn DVD. YOU will pay the hollywood industry no money. Do you really think Brad Pitt and Edward Norton need you to support them finacially, or Fincher really needs the money. And believe me Chuck will whole heartedly support you, he did when his book became unavailable because it was being stolen so often from the bookshelves. Do your own little homework assignment, steal the DVD, and the guy who was talking about buying a DVD player, try stealing that too, if you have a Bi-Mart around you, they're security systems suck. Try there. Later

-
To all of those who say Fight Club sucks. Have you even paid attention to the movie? It's about a guy going through some goddam mid-life crisis and brings along with him almost the entire male population of the United States. Edward Norton's character is clearly delusional and basically all the shit in the movie is either in his head or it's real. In my opinion that's what Fincher wanted the audience to think which parts of the movie is either a hallucination or not.
-
The real reason that fight club is delayed on DVD is because the Region 4 (Australian) DVD release is scheduled for release on the exact same day as the Region 1 (US) and the money grubbing swines at FOX are only releasing a RENTAL ONLY version, which will be priced at around $100 AUS, and they do not want any Region 1 DVD's being imported early at a cheaper price and for home use!
I know this because I work in the Australian DVD industry and FOX are throwing their weight around with obscene pricing and shocking release schedules! -
I actually giggled a little when I read Angry Catholics post. I liked FC, but I can appreciate someone elses opinion. You all are just playing into his hands. Plus, I get really annoyed at pissant computer goths too. Some of you people sound like a bunch of teenage virgin fanboys the way you go on and on about this movie. If you really like it so much, you'd steal it and the DVD player, Palahniuk wouldn't mind.
-
Why doesn't Ed Norton get a comentary track? he sure deserves it more than Pitt....
-
I have absolutely nothing of interest to add to this discussion. I merely wish to register my happiness that Fight Club exists. I thank you.
-
I think the 300ft. high Miss Dickinson was actually reciting the one about how her name is Nobody.."how public like a frog" etc. I could be wrong. It has come to my attention that people are saying that only guys are able to enjoy FIGHT CLUB. Wrong..what could be more enjoyable for female viewing than Brad Pitt and Edward Norton kicking each other's asses? I never thought Brad Pitt was sexy till I saw this movie. This is one Catholic who can't wait till the DVD comes out. That and MONONOKE.
-
I help run a college film soc, which shows 35mm films. We do actually perform change-overs every film, as our projectors can only hold 6000m (an hour) of film. The reels in the FC proj scene were 2000m, which we use for ads and trailers. The reels come in big square cases, full of 2000m reels. For FC there were 7 of them (faintly ironic). So, the projectionist, some hours before the film's start, spliced them together in sets of three (2x6000m and a 2000m to finish). The c/o dots come at the end of every 2000m reel, so roughly every 20minutes. If you are watching a dull film in an oldish cinema, count for 3 sets of dots and then wait for a slight lurch that signals the change-over. If you're unlucky, it will be a huge lurch, followed by focus and racking issues. "The movie keeps on and no-one in the audience..." If you're lucky.
Anyway, the dots come in pairs. One, the 'motor dot' tells the proj to start the 2nd projector, and the 2nd dot comes 10 frames later, signalling the time to press the button.
The button cuts off the 1st projector and covers it with a shutter while exactly the same time opening the 2nd shutter.
In FC (which we showed a rather unlicenced 5 times) the first c/o comes just before the 'stealing fat' and the 2nd c/o comes as the narrator gets out of a taxi chasing marla down the street.
Oh, and we spliced in two frames of porn. We felt it was our duty as the only fans with the capability. A frame of breats in a shot of Bob and some bottom-fondling when the boss walks into the cubicle.
They are quite noticeable.
And we got a video projector and projected someone's m-peg copy onto the wall outside his apartment. Which was illegal in about four ways, as it was an uncut version of an unreleased-for-home film being shown in public probably in front of minors (although it was 11pm so the last bit is wishful thinking)
And I have two frieneds with 'chemical burns' that have healed nicely and left little pink scars.
Does anyone else think the oscar statues were stolen by FC fans? -
i need this dvd so bad
