God it's been so long since I've watched this. It's somehow even better than in my memory. I can't remember when I did first watch it though. Definitely your great reaction added to the experience. Your laughter, cringing, and analysis is so wonderful. In my mind the core of the film is about masculinity - Real Tyler and his fantasy self; Bob and his testicular cancer, hormone balance, and "bitch tits", his kindness and assistance to Tyler, his mockery and rejection, his inclusion and reverence; the talk about fathers, and mothers, what good a woman might do or not; the relationship with Marla, using her, resenting her, caring for her; the talk of wealth, possessions, loss, vulnerability, and survival, and power.

2021-03-17 23:37:01 +0000 UTCGreat reaction. One thing that you do that makes you stand out compared to other reactors is your long end segments where you share your thoughts about the entire work and that really shines for movies like this. You missed one subliminal flash in the early portion of the movie when you looked away at the wrong time, but you got the jist right, they're shots of Brad Pitt before the Tyler character shows up on screen. You can also seem him on the far right of the hotel intro video when Ed Norton catches the mint in his mouth.

2021-03-17 02:47:03 +0000 UTCSpoilers for any Patrons that haven't seen watched the movie--- When you mention having Marla, the Narrator (Ed Norton), and Tyler all in the same room, I think there are two reasons for avoiding that (probably more). First, as you mentioned, her responses or reactions might not make sense. But secondly, I think the film is also leaving hints and foreshadowing the truth about Tyler and the Narrator. The movie is clever about not outing Tyler by not mentioning him at the wrong time and whatnot, but whenever they happen to get close to the topic, you can see that Marla gets kind of confused and asks what the Narrator is talking about. On the topic of 'fear,' I think the Narrator's fear stems at least partially from insecurity. He's afraid of letting things go and not having that perfect IKEA lifestyle, but at the same time, I believe he's also afraid that he's going to accumulate all the right things, check off all the right 'consumerist' boxes, and even though he has the 'perfect' everything, he'll still be unhappy- even though he's done everything "right." Later on in the car crash scene, I think we're seeing his insecurities pop up again. He's afraid of being left out, which is really the same as him being afraid that he's incomplete without the right coffee table. He hasn't really changed or matured yet. Just to keep adding to the novel that is this comment- this was one of my favorite movies as a teen. For a while I would play it every night when I was going to bed; I'm sure I've seen it literally dozens of times. As for some semi behind-the-scenes stuff: if you keep an eye on the background when the Narrator is in his bosses' office (when telling his boss he should get paid to stay home), if you keep an eye on the background you'll notice that there is a thermostat (or something) on the wall. When the camera is on Ed Norton, it's white, but when the camera is on his boss, it shifts places and is dark gray (I may have the colors backward). *Note that this was corrected in some versions of the film. This is one of those films that has a lot of nostalgia for me. Not just because of the film itself, but it takes me back to everything that was going on around that time for me. "Where is my mind" by The Pixies (song played during the credits) will always have a special place in my heart. Great reaction! Haven't seen this movie in years and had a lot of fun watching it again :-)
