Guys, you'll never believe what movie I just saw... BACK TO THE FUTURE! Omigosh, discuss. I got the story and all, but what is the significance of 88 miles per hour to time travel? How does a car run on garbage and why did they make up the term "jiggawatt"? ohhemmgee. I would like to hear your feedback on this matter.
Because if you turn an 8 sideways, it's actually the symbol for infinity. And since the time machine can either go forwards, an infinite amount of time, or backwards, an infinite amount of time, it's like DOUBLE INFINITY! It runs on garbage cause they're thinking green, and when you're thinking green, dreams come true. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking when they came up with jiggawatt tho.

What was the deal with the end?
lol at spoiler for a movie made 10 years ago, but:
+ Show Spoiler +How does shooting himself in the jaw kill Tyler? Was it a symbolic thing?

I think given the nature of Brad Pitt's character, I don't think he ever really "goes away", unless this is a complete turning point in Norton's life and he actually decides to shift radically rather than slowly revert to his previous self.
Also, not sure what GFG means :o
GFG = Good Fucking Game = Awesome

I don't know about the book...but the movie's overarching theme is essentially your run of the mill existential own-up-to-yourself-and-take-charge-of-your-own-life-dont-give-in-to-the-status-quo-just-'cause-that's-how-everyone-else-does-it-do-what-you-want-do-what-makes-you-happy-blah-blah-blah.
That said...it also did your run of the mill existential own-up-to-yourself-and-take-charge-of-your-own-life-dont-give-in-to-the-status-quo-just-'cause-that's-how-everyone-else-does-it-do-what-you-want-do-what-makes-you-happy-blah-blah-blah movie much better, with more depth, and with more intelligence than most others do.
If you had to pin it down to one thing...it'd be that.

I loved the movie, but I always found it super ironic that these movie stars are playing these parts of people saying that "we're not going to grow up into movie stars, we're just average fucks, so fuck those assholes"

Loved the movie and Edward Norton is one of my few favorite actors.

If you take a Jungian perspective, Tyler is like his shadow. When he finally realises he is a necessary, and definite part of himself, they become one whole. Shooting himself is something crazy, like that only Tyler would do, ie: what he should be capable of doing if he didn't keep projecting his dark desires on his shadow, instead of admitting that they are a part of him.

If you haven't read the book, the ending is actually different. He ends up in a mental hospital, but all the doctors and aids taking care of him just keep telling him things like, "We're looking forward to your return Mr. Durden."

The only thing that bothered me about Fight Club is the times where narrator coudln't possibly have done the stuff to himself when fighting Durden. Or like when people are coming up to both of them and the dialog and reaction and stuff just doesn't make sense if you go back and view it as if they are the same person.
Sure he could have imagined some of it, but it is portrayed as it really happened and then he has bruises,cuts,etc from that fight.
Other than that I've seen the movie like over 10 times and its pretty good.
PS- Sure some people don't know this but in the earlier parts of the film (like on the street when hes going to the meetings/talking with marla) there are flashes of durden's image a few times. This is related to the thing he's talking about with the ciggarette burns on films. Somewhat of a foreshadowing. That's another thing that bugged me too, when he slipped the picture of the cock in the disney movie, that's fine but why are there sound effects?
And the zerg music is when he's talking to his boss about the rules he found in the copy machine (and people say its different but it sounds the same to me).
