You gotta love Eli Roth.  Writer, director, producer, actor, horror fan (like me!) and... inspired Halloween costume afficianado!  I still remember his Ichi The Killer costume he wore at the Toronto Film Festival.  

This year, Eli took the popular Tyler Durden costume idea to new levels with not one, but TWO variations!

I gotta say, I've always liked Eli Roth.  And now I like him even more. 

These pics were posted on his Twitter @eliroth as well as his great Tumblr page at http://directorscuts.tumblr.com/, where you can see more pics of Eli in costume.

Happy Halloween!

How the hell have none of you tried something like this before?  For as long as it became 'a thing,' I've been a fan of the fake Criterion covers fans have designed.  Not only are many of them hysterical (one of my favorites being Days of Thunder), but some of the artwork is damn good and clearly tops the shitty, uninspired DVD covers studios sleepwalk through.  (example: Scott Pilgrim vs. Scott Pilgrim).  These fans could be working for Criterion with these skills.

But alas, I've never seen a fake Criterion for Fight Club.  Until now...

This was designed by S. L. Jackson.  Here's what he had to say about the design: read more »

We've posted a few of these in the News over the past year.  But now Shortlist.com has big collection of all alternative Fight Club posters designed by fans.  This is a cool collection, yes, but they missed a few great ones.

Here's one of my favorites, which I hadn't yet seen. read more »

Someone ask me why I keep posting these?  I guess with this latest, I just respect the fact that these guys went out and did something.  Plus, they look like they had fun making this.  And hell, the one dude even shaved his head.  

Check out 'Cuddle Club,' a shot for shot remake (albeit, with some actual stolen shots) of the Fight Club trailer.

Somehow I missed this one. I guess I shouldn't beat myself up since Fight Club continues to become one of the most spoofed and homaged films of the past 15 years. This spoof comes by way of The Girls on Film.  Here's their bio from their YouTube channel:

The Girls on Film is the earth-shattering, mind-blowing trio of professional actors Ashleigh Harrington, Cat McCormick and Jeff Hammond.

We're recreating awesome movie scenes between men, with women playing their parts. Its our innovative way of sharing our passion for storytelling and injecting our own personal cocktail of fun and friskiness throughout the galaxy.

We are in the process of remaking all of our favourite guy-on-guy movie scenes for your viewing pleasure. Please share with us your favourite male scenes so our fabulous team can make them too.

The original blogger said it perfectly: "Man, I wish my high school had been this cool." Really though, I grew up in an era where the most subversive book taught in school was The Catcher in the Rye.  Now don't get me wrong, I love that book.  But nowadays, we get at least an email a month from a college professor, high school teacher or student who informs us that Fight Club has joined their curriculum. 

This school seems to have taken that to the next level.  Check out those hallway quote from Tyler Durden!

Here's a cool little gem from our Twitter feed via 'ThatDrunkViking.'  It's a helpful Tyler Durden, giving sage advice on dating and relationships.

Some of my favorites:

CALL SEX LINE.  ASK THE GIRL HOW HER DAY WAS, DON'T HANG UP.

HIT ON MARRIED WOMEN IN FRONT OF THEIR HUSBANDS.  YOUR BRUISES REKINDLED A DEAD ROMANCE.

START A FIGHT WITH LONELIEST GUY IN BAR.  INTENTIONALLY LOSE SO HE GETS LAID.

Hot damn, is this well done.  Check out a great mash-up of Fight Club as cut to Florence + The Machine's song "Kiss with a Fist.'  It was edited by Jeff Yorkes and is titled 'Fist Club.'

Watch the video on Vimeo here.

And be sure to check out all of Jeff's CINEMASHUP's at his Vimeo page.  I've basically become addicted to them since yesterday.

Check out this impressive fan-made video that comprises the entirety of Fight Club into 60 seconds. The video was made by Alison Parker, who has submitted it to a contest that challenges the entrants to take any popular movie and condense it all down into 60 seconds.  I personally love this stuff, and have seen cool videos like this on YouTube before, but I think Alison has outdone herself here.

Come the end of a year (and the start of a new one) it seems almost impossible to avoid 'Top 10' fever.  This is a fever that spreads to movie and gossip sites and can include everything from 'The Top 10 Worst Movies of 2010' to 'The Best YouTube Parodies'.  Don't lie.  We all love these lists.  It's why websites keep doing them.  And it's why I finally broke down this year and decided it was high time we do one of these for The Cult.

Our list will be a Top 5.  And I'm going to break it up into two categories. read more »
