Cheap Chuck Ripoff.

Did you see the scene in Fight Club where they are sitting there drinking beer? Animal House!!!!

[QUOTE=Instigator;1077628]I wonder if you sycophant muppets can answer me a question (good setup G). In the film of Fight Club there is a scene where the protagonist beats himself up and thus gets corporate sponsorship. Is this in the book? Been a while since I read it. In the movie of Class of 1984 (which I just watched again), which came out in 1982, there is a scene EXACTLY like the one in the movie where a guy beats himself up and then smears his blood on the hand of the guy (EXACT same scene) who is supposed to have assaulted him. So I wonder...who ripped of whom? Palahniuk or Fincher? Both?

Just curious.

There's a Fight Club [I][B]Movie[/B][/I]?!

Or when they're talking on the plane.

OMG AIRPLANE ripoff!!!

or the scene where Tyler just loses it and kills a whole tribe of sandpeople? Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones!

Oh...you meant the [I]Fight Club[/I] movie.

I remember that part with the dishwashing glove and the lube from some German movie... Fautzen Lieben Fisten Kraken or something. Basically a shot for shot theft.

Fincher is a [I]pre[/I]-vert. He steals things before they're invented, but fails to use them in a timely fashion. He's also fond of embedded referernces and inside jokes, intertextuality and homage. I think he should become a filmmaker.

You know, for somebody who hates Chuck and thinks he's a hack, you spend a LOT of time making comparisons. It's like the priest who spends all his time trying to hunt down kiddie porn on the internet. You question is suspicious. So, every car chase after The French Connection is a rip off? Why do you spend time here?

Oh right, you're an INSTIGATOR.

Seriously, go get a life. Why don't you call up Suglia and go hang with him. You can jerk each other off while you dis Chuck.

Uh.. I'd say if you're too lazy to pick up the book and see if the scene is actually in there or not, why should I go out of my way to do anything but hop on the calling-you-a-lame-wad bandwagon?

Did you see that scene where they flash the big penis on screen? straight rip off of [i]Men In Back 7 [/i]!!

it didn't look that big to me.

On tv it's not, but on a 50 foot theater screen HUMUNGUS!

The legislator is an instigator,
he wrestles with an alligator,
he's probably a masturbator,
but we like him anyway.
We like him anyway.

imagine what it'd be like on the imax.

you semi-sentient sycophantic psycho fan tic dolts, and you can't deny it is. I only posted that because instances of Chuck's 'borrowings' from other films of books occasionally slap me in the face here there everywhere. I just genuinely think it's funny and sorta sad. Now. I know this is the mark of a postmodern psyche, and we all, inadvertently or otherwise, regurgitate other people's stuff from other places cos we have millions of images floating round our psyches (I am no different)...but when you see a scene where a guy beats himself up, then grabs his 'attacker' and smears blood on his hand EXACTLY the way Norton does it in the movie of Fight Club (one of my all-time fave movies)...you have to chuckle. And groan. I mean, ripping off a cheapshit 1982 Mark Lester punkspoitation movie? How low can you go?

Anyway, continue to suck each other's cocks and slap each others' back and worship yer scumlover sociopathetic god. I'm an atheist, I just like vaguely annoying you netdweller dolts. And thanks for that sad wee poem rhyming 'instigator' with 'alligator' and 'masturbator' (which I most certainly am, as is everybody else here, and don't try to pretend otherwise) Must have taken a long time to think that one up. Pretty creative for a Palahniuk fan. I wonder (Chuckle) who it was ripped off from...

Over and out.

So scathing, so cutting. I may now have to re-assess my love of Mr. Palahniuk. Thank you so much for opening my eyes, I shall now devote my life to no longer being a semi-sentient sycophant psych fantic dolt.

Thank you, I owe you so much.

People without arms who have to use voice-recognition to type on here don't masturbate.

Remember that scene in Fight Club where Tyler is eating chips over the phone? Blatant rip-off of those old Jay Leno Doritos commercials!!

IF It Is the EXACT same scene, and figh club director is FIncher... wouldn`t be Fincher the copycat? How does chuck gets involved in a discussion about the way the film was directed? Maybe He forced fincher at gunpoint to film it that way...
Oh and the scene with the buildings falling down obeisely is a rip off of 9/11

Too soon....

Okay its been six years, four more years maybe.

Probably? Personally I think the scenes are identical, I think that is the point. I would consider it an homage and not a matter of copying.

Movies, music and books do this all the time. Check out all the movie connections for [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062622/movieconnections]2001: A Space Odyssey[/url]

[QUOTE=Instigator;1081095]you semi-sentient sycophantic psycho fan tic dolts[/QUOTE]

perhaps you don't realize that all intended scathing remarks seem to become meaningless when one such as yourself recycles them multiple times in the same post. it's alright, i understand, i'm just saying that not everyone will see your need to post the three or four "big people words" you learned today.

[QUOTE=Instigator;1081095]instances of Chuck's 'borrowings' from other films of books occasionally slap me in the face here there everywhere.[/QUOTE]

that, my friend, is called appropriation.

1) i'm assuming i'm alienated from the activity seeing as how i don't have a cock? eh, either way, i suppose it's for the best.
2) the space bar is your frieeeeeeend. ex: scumlover = scum lover. sociopathetic = sociopathic. netdweller = net dweller.
3) you're an atheist? fantastic! let's throw you a big ol' "i'm-way-original-for-not-believing-in-a-higher-power!" party. believe me, the last one was off the proverbial hook. what does it matter what religion you are, really? you were talking about apropriation of ideas and i have no way of seeing the connection between that and religion.
4) it takes a lot more than the likes of you to vaguely annoy me, trust. i'm just wasting some time before work so please, don't flatter yourself. (:

PS You are also on the internet.

I am still waiting for the 9/11 titanic.
you know. the typical holywood movie about the couple that meets and falls in love and then their love story is tragically interrupted because one of them was in th WTC. on 9/11 and the surviving one tries to get there to find him/her, and eventually find her/him and rescues, or don´t but before him/her dies leaves the other one a quote that he/she will remember for the rest of his/her life while the pop singer of the moment sings a crappy sentimentaloid song.

Dude, if you can get Morgan Freeman to play the role of President Bush I bet Paramount would pick it up.

[I]away Suglia! shoo![/I]

Fight Club was just a remake of C.H.U.D. with guys instead of puppets.

You should literally just rip off the Titanic screenplay, switching Titanic things for 9/11 things when necessary. No one will know the difference.

Then instigator can come and bitch about that!

My life... it's ruined. I don't know what I'll do now. The man I worshipped is a fake. I'm not sure if I can go on.

9/11 ripped off Fight Club.

It came out in 1999. 9/11 looks kinda like 9111. The terrorists (or George Bush for the conspiracy theorists) Saw Fight Club in '99 and said "I'm gonna do that same thing in 9111." Michael Moore would contest George Bush was so stupid he didn't realize the slash was not really a 1.

I am sure that if fight club would have been released after 9/11 the movie would have ended the same way as the book

And what if I told you that Chuck had never heard of or seen that movie?

Seriously, go away.

I was thinking about making a movie about a guy who reads old blogs and....

Oh, damn.

the instigator is funnier than i thought he'd be.

why was this bumped?

MOAR!

Can't be more than a coincidence.

Oh and that part in Fight Club when the narrator was wishing for the plane to crash, that was obviously a rip off from Lost Season 5
