It's finally time for FIGHT CLUB 👊 I know lots of you have been anticipating this one, and I can see why now! This movie was so damn good. On the one hand, I wish I had seen it when I was younger because the themes are very powerful... but at the same time I'm really happy I got to see it with all of you for the first time now in my life! It's one of those movies that sits at the back of your head for... well probably forever haha

"His name was Robert Paulson"

N.T. Stars

David Fincher's made lots of good movies. Definitely worth adding a couple more to the polls! The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Zodiac, Gone Girl, The Social Network... all super good.

Jordan, your poker face was great! Chandra had noticed the quick frames of Pitt so quickly I was worried she’d catch on but the full reveal was so fun to watch. 😃 As for Brad Pitt movies, he’s got a lot of good ones. I’ll recommend Moneyball and leave the door open for others’ favorites. Norton also has a number of great roles, I’ll throw out Rounders as a suggestion … it’s also a Matt Damon film so it crosses over with the Bourne franchise reactions.

Kenton Kruger

For Brad Pitt likely most will suggest 12 Monkeys or Interview With the Vampire. For Edward Norton, I'd like to push for Death to Smoochy or Birdman. Two films I love, but both underseen.

This was great! Another couple things: Tyler, the Narrator, who has no name, and Marla are never in the same scene. That chip in Brad's tooth is natural, he has a cap normally irl. I've always wondered, is Tyler wearing really expensive clothing at the end? Totally going against his anti consumerism, maybe showing how he is not real and a hypocrite. Thanks! Meet Joe Black is a really fun love story starring Brad.

Funny but I didn’t start really liking Brad Pitt much until his crazier roles. Highly recommend Kalifornia, 12 Monkeys, Snatch and tiny part in True Romance. All fantastic movies even tho some small parts.

Favorite Ed Norton roles. Primal Fear, American History X and The Score.

12 Monkeys is a great example of a movie and show being separate entities but both properties being outstanding

So glad Chandra didn't guess the twist before the end. It's always fun to watch the realization hit when "the cabin pressure drops." Occasionally, I've seen reactors guess the twist during the scene where The Narrator is talking to Marla in the kitchen and Tyler is down in the basement whispering, "This conversation... is over" followed by The Narrator repeating "This conversation is over" to Marla. The reactor always feels so clever that they guessed but, for us watching the reaction, it kinda ruins the best part of the reaction: the shocked expression at the reveal. I remember going to see this movie in theaters back in the day and going in pretty much blind. I had no idea what to expect, but, with the name, I assumed it was going to be more of an action-sports movie. Obvs, it was NOT at all what I was expecting. And I loved it. Plus, I always love a movie with a big psychological twist that subverts everything you thought was happening. That's always fun and mind-bending. It's unfortunate that so many people (primarily incels, obvs) have taken the wrong message from the movie and raised Tyler up as a role model who gives them license to be selfish a-holes, hate the world, and promote toxic masculinity as the answer to the world's problems. They sort of missed the point that, yes, Tyler starts out making a lot of good points about consumerism and identity, but then slippery-slopes into starting a cult, becoming a terrorist, and making VERY LARGE decisions about everyone else's life without their consent based on HIS viewpoint, the viewpoint of one person out of 8 billion. They missed the point that he's the villain of the movie, not the hero, despite how charismatic and reasonable he seems at the beginning (like any good cult leader). They don't seem to realize that our protagonist, The Narrator, has to kill and defeat Tyler at the end -- not embrace him -- to win. They're just like "Tyler's right about everything. F the world! Everything should collapse." They don't think about what it would actually be like to live in a collapsed world (even though you can just watch news and documentary footage from rubble-strewn warzones in the world to see how horrible it would actually be IRL). I mean, do YOU want to have to have someone in your family standing guard over your home and the little bit of food you could grow or meager possessions you could scavenge or barter for 24/7 bc other people find it easier to take from the weak than grow, hunt, or barter for their own stuff? Do you want to have to worry about getting shot every time you go out to get water from a nearby well or pond? Do you want to spend your entire days in hard work and toil just to barely survive like the pioneers (who often died when one thing went wrong)? Do you want to live under the law of the jungle, where might makes right and the strong dominate the weak? I don't. People who don't like their lives often romanticize going back to "how people used to live," but if you read accounts of it, it was actually awful, difficult, and you could die very easily from any number of things. Like, even the mundane part of Tyler's grand vision of collapsing society and living primitively again, hunting and drying venison strips in what used to parking lots and living like people did a few hundred years ago? Yeah, no thank you. Anybody who feels that way is free to go live in the woods -- live your life how you want -- but let me make my own decisions about what level of technology and progress I'm comfortable with, y'know? I like feeling safe in my home and having technology that lets me make art and music. I like being able to go to the grocery store and find a ready supply of food and supplies rather than having to spend the entirety of every day of my life growing, hunting, crafting or bartering for my own or else starve and go without (and never getting to do the things I actually enjoy). You don't have to be obsessed with consumer culture and attach your identity to brand names to enjoy the creature comforts of a modern society. Basically, I don't need some misfit shut-in deciding what kind of life I should be living bc he's angry at the world for not letting him be a rock star or bc he can't get a gf. Among the very many points in the movie that the Tyler cultists of the world missed, they really missed the bit about accepting responsibility for your own actions and living with the consequences you've created, not taking your anger out on the world like an angry toddler throwing a tantrum. I remember the author of the book, Chuck Palahniuk, actually started out talking very reasonably about the message of his book. Then, as the Tyler cultists grew and started treating him like some sort of celeb prophet, he changed a lot of what he'd been saying before and started playing the part. Ironically, his ego and need for approval caused him to embrace being a dick and feed into the toxicity of the fandom. It's kind gross, tbh. Still, the toxic (and misguided) fans aside, the one-two punch of "Se7en" and "Fight Club" cemented David Fincher as one of my favorite directors, helped to elevate Brad Pitt as a serious actor in my eyes, and I love this movie.

I'd like to echo the suggestion for 12 Monkeys. Brad Pitt's role is not the biggest, but he's amazing in it. When he started branching away from just the "hot guy" roles and doing more character work is also when I started to like him better as an actor. I feel like I'd also recommend Kalifornia, but I honestly don't remember it. I remember seeing it in theaters and liking it, and I know my gf-at-the-time and I watched it a number of times on video or DVD (or whatever the format was at the time). But, other than a vague image in my head, I couldn't tell you one thing about the movie at the moment. But, then, I guess that makes it a good opportunity to revisit it if it gets reacted to. And, yeah, he's awesome in Snatch as well. True Romance -- one of my favorite movies, all-time -- is also a good one, but he has like a minute and a half of screen time, so I wouldn't really call it a Brad Pitt movie. Still, great movie and he's very good in his minute and a half.

Funk McPuke

12 Monkeys, for sure. Great movie and Brad Pitt's character work in it is awesome. Plus you get Terry Gilliam's directing, and that's always visually weird and fun.

"His name was Robert Paulson."

John Colson

Second to watching Death to Smoochy! Robin Williams ❤️

John Colson

I recommend they watch his series on Netflix, Mind Hunter.

Simone's Coconut Squire

This will be interesting to watch. I boycotted this movie for years because when it came out, every male 15-25 year-old douchebag used this movie as a personality.

Matthew Langley

The obvious Edward Norton watch is American History X. Truly a masterpiece of a movie that is so very intense.

SpankTheMonk

And beautiful snowflakes like us all 🫶🖖

InsaneInsanity

and, what do you now think after watching it?

Simone's Coconut Squire

As a piece of experimental cinema I think it’s really interesting in some of the things it was trying to do, but it still feels unpolished, which to a degree feels intentional, but on the other hand is also a bit like the banana taped to the wall, trying to be artistic while also giving the middle finger to art. Definitely a conversation piece, but not sure that I’d call it excellent film making.

Big Honking Cheese

There were also several instances of Pitt's character in flashes of single shots before he meets The Narrator. As far as recommendations, as other posters mentioned American History X is a great Norton movie, and 12 Monkeys is a good Pitt one although he has a smaller role.

MaplenutsReact

I like the chip in his tooth! Haha. And I never noticed the narrator and Marla thing, that's so cool

MaplenutsReact

We're going to have to make a Brad Pitt poll! Thank you for all of these recommendations :)

MaplenutsReact

I had no idea there was a huge group of people that saw his character as a role model, that's awful. That's the tricky thing with art right, there's always the risk of people taking it the wrong way, or taking parody literally (like in American Psycho). I can't believe the author even leaned into it... He obviously didn't learn anything from his own book! Haha
