My favorite part of the movie is towards the beginning with the exchange on the airplane: "Which car company did you say you work for, again?" "A Major one."
I just watched Fight Club

People did this?
I remember seeing lots of ads for Fight Club when I was like 10, and I thought it sounded cool just by the name alone. I can't believe anyone thought it was some hidden gem if 10 year old me noticed it.
Anyways, I like Fight Club. So many people take it too seriously though, and you can instantly tell who's a youtube video essay watching fag by how quick they gotta bring up how it's a gay film.

The film was rated R, it's not for 10 year old you.
It came out back when video stores were still popular and at the advent of DVDs. Very few people saw the film in cinemas and it gained its cult following from the home video market. It also was one of the first well done DVD releases with lots of content. Whereas many early DVDs were just laser discs on DVD at the time with little bonus features.
So word of mouth was big at getting people to see the film. They liked it and then wanted to be the person recommending the good film no one had heard of. Or they thought it was some boxing film. There was a lot of misconception as to what the film was. Hence why no one saw it.
There are various other factors of the film, from the look, the performances, the ideas, the effects, story, ideas and other things that just made it not only a good film, but a cool film at the time.
Back then films could fail at the box office but become hits on home media. No one saw Austin Powers in the cinema, but on video it became popular. Then there's the Donnie Darko of it all.

The best part of fight club is the fact there's a ps2 game of it where you can play as Fred durst from limp bizkit.

Ah, i expected as much when i read @TheHarbinger 's post. And yes, i remember people acting like it was an obscure, hidden gem years after it came out, which is ridiculous. It was extremely high profile and had one of the biggest stars of its time in the cast, not to mention that Fincher became a household name after Se7en.
First R-rated movie i snuck in when i was underage as fuck, one of the best experiences i ever had at the cinema.
Edit:
Alright, i am misremembering things. Just read how the film underperformed and @Screamer_2 's post seems closer to reality. To my defense, it came out in '99, it's been some years.
The film is as quotable as Pulp Fiction is.

While I wouldn't simplify the book into being just Narrator being closeted, there was a chapter where he was describing Tyler's penis in detail while he pissed in a bowl of soup that's one of the gayest passages I've ever read. Which was funny because Chuck was still closeted when the book was published but absolutely no one in literary criticism bought that act after reading Fight Club and he eventually he admitted that yeah, he was a big fag.

Man, i must've been very ignorant back then because i totally did not pick up on anything gay.

Don't forget that fat pig, dog, slob, and disgusting animal Rosie O'Donnell spoiling the twist on national television. That didn't help it at the box office.
Fox should've filed suit. It baffles me that they didn't even try to recoup some of those lost ticket sales in court.

Not even when the protagonist goes to the doctor and everyone thinks he has Kaposi's sarcoma? It was a flashback to the 1980s, I guess, when GRID was new and scary, but it still felt very much like Palahniuk was processing something.
His actual self-insert in Fight Club 2 was terrible and I never bothered to read Fight Club 3. He squandered such a great opportunity: Fight Club as a comic book, Tyler Durden as an evil mastermind with a castle, how do you screw that up?

Shieeeeet, the birthmark thing clearly was an analogy for that. Think i never even knew fags got Kaposi's from AIDS back then nor its name, i really did not pick up on it. The less said about the comic, the better, i didn't even read farther in than after the first switch to Tyler, it's below dogshit-tier. Chuck is dead to me ever since "Doomed" or "Damned", i forgot which he wrote first. "Adjustment Day" was a rare return to form in its first part but after that it lost me. Not to mention someone else wrote a better Chuck Palahniuk book than Chuck ever could (The Contortionist's Handbook by Craig Clavenger). That book takes Chuck's style of prose and concepts and elevates it to masterclass.

That book is gay as fuck. First time the narrator meets Tyler he's doing naked shadow puppetry on the beach or some shit.

She did that?!
What a cunt thing to do.A man being nude is gay now. Then again, the book was written by a homo... Guess the book is kinda gay after all. Still a very good read. I guess i was way more innocent when i read it. To my defense, again, it was long before the blatant pozzification of the media, i read it a couple of years after the film came out.

Two strange men alone on a beach and one of them is using his naked body to produce abstract art for the amusement and edification of the other. It's at least a little bit sparkly.

Were they alone, though? IIRC it was a nude beach with other people around. And the narrator being entranced by and solely focusing on another nude man... WELL!

You could be right. FWIW I interpreted that scene as a dream. I don't think there was a literal beach, it took place in the hero's imagination.

Of course, it's the narrator and Tyler together after all. It still is kind of a gay fantasy to write
