I like Fight Club . When the end scene came and "where is my mind" by the Pixies started as him and his gal were about to be blown up was like...someone had stolen my idea!!
Like many genreless, one off movies, they are often the best.
But do you mean big screen, or blockbuster movie, or just some weird arty film clip that you find yourself trippin out on at 4am?
I bet you cant insult me, and find no major flaw with my intelligence.
BTW, your previous comments were pondered for some days before they found their proper home 😉

However, there are endless subtexts to the movie. While an obvious satiric condemnation of mindless consumerism, it is riddled with Nazi imagery and warns of the rise of National Socialism.
In your case, the imagery that most concerns me is the homoerotic undertones and half naked dude on dude wrestling action. The forced submissions and frustrated men trying to prove they aren't homosexuals by beating each other up all point to your repressed man lust. This ties well into the Nazi imagery as I've always thought Nazi's were a little queer.
The fact that the Pitt character is the idealized fantasy personifaction of the Norton character only reinforces the hard body, S&M, butt sex undertones. This message is perverted even further by suggesting that the Norton character idolizes and lust after perfect version of himself. Sick self homo love.
I didn't realize what a deviant you were Karoly. Carry on.

He's under the mistaken impression that an 'artist' can spew a smoking turd like NBK and nobody is going to see it as the self serving piece of trash that it is.
Natural Born Killers
With NBK, Stone has proven himself to be the Grampy Bobby of film, no moderation or subtlety. Excessive and self-indulgent would be apt descriptions for this overkilled psychopathic blunder.
Having said that I liked the mindless violence and may have rubbed one out to Mallory.
