Fight club

"The first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. The third rule of fight club is when someone says "stop" or goes limp, the fight is over. Fourth rule is only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule one fight at a time. Sixthrule, no shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule fights go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule if this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight."
Este magnifiquiiiiisimo guión es de una perfeccion conceptual del cagarse pero te pones a llorar con ese final de Hollywood obligatory use, contrario al sentido del libro. Es tal vez demasiado terrorifico. Los dialogos son cuchillos maravillosos. Zaratustra y Gurdjieff cogiditos de la mano.
"I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who have ever lived, an entire generation pumping gas and waiting tables; or they're slaves with white collars. Advertisements have them chasing cars and clothes, working jobs they hate so they can buy shit they don't need. We are the middle children of history, with no purpose or place. We have no great war, or great depression. The great war is a spiritual war. The great depression is our lives. We were raised by television to believe that we'd be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't. And we're learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed-off.We are the quiet young men who listen until it's time to decide. Yes, I am shit and crazy, to you and this whole fucking world...This week, each of you has a homework assignment. You're going to go out and start a fight with a total stranger...You're going to start a fight... and you're going to lose."
"After I graduated, I called him long distance and asked, "Now what?" He said, "Get a job." When I turned twenty-five, I called him and asked, "Now what?" He said, "I don't know. Get married." A generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is the answer we really need."
"Even if I could tell someone they had a good fight, I wouldn't be talking to the same man.Who you were in fight club is not who you were in the rest of the world. You weren't alive anywhere like you were there. But fight club only exists in the hours between when fight club starts and when fight club ends.After fight club, everything else in your life gets the volume turned down. You can deal with anything."
"You are not your job. You are not how much money you have in the bank."
"When it rained, we had to kill the power. By the end of the first month, I didn't care about TV. I didn't mind the warm, stale refrigerator." "Like everyone else, I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct. If I saw something like clever coffee table sin the shape of a yin and yang, I had to have it." "You buy furniture. You tell yourself: this is the last sofa I'll ever need. No matter what else happens, I've got the sofa issue handled. Then, the right set of dishes. The right dinette."
"Lots of young people try to impress the world and buy too many things.Many young people feel trapped and desperate.If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't." "You're welcome. But, I want you to do me one favor. I want you to hit me as hard as you can." "Could be worse. A woman could cut off your penis while you're asleep and toss it out the window of a moving car. I mean, you did lose a lot of nice, neat little shit. The trendy paper lamps, the Euro-trash shelving unit, am I right? The things you own, they end up owning you."
"I felt sorry for all the guys packing into gyms, trying to look like what Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger said they should. Self-improvement is masturbation. Self-destruction is the answer."
"I don't want to die without any scars. How much can you really know about yourself if you've never been in a fight? Come on... you're the only person I've ever asked."
"Tyler was a night person. He sometimes worked as a projectionist. A movie doesn't come in one big reel, it's on a few. In old theaters, two projectors are used, so someone has to change projectors at the exact second when one reel ends and another reel begins. Sometimes you can see two dots on screen in the upper right hand corner... Tyler also worked as a banquet waiter at the luxurious Pressman Hotel. He was the guerrilla terrorist of the food service industry. He farted on meringue; he sneezed on braised endive; and, with creme of mushroom soup, well..."
"Fight club wasn't about winning or losing. It wasn't about words.When the fight was over, nothing was solved, but nothing mattered.Fight club became the reason to cut your hair short and trim your fingernails."
"Listen to me. You have to consider the possibility that God doesn't like you, he never wanted you. In all probability, He hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen...Fuck damnation. Fuck redemption. We are God's unwanted children, with no special place and no special attention, and so be it. first you have to give up. First, you have to know that someday, you are going to die. Until you know that, you will be useless."
"I reject the basic assumptions of civilization, including material possession.Without sacrifice, without death, we would have nothing."
Yo suscribo el proyecto Mayhem. Me destruyo a diario. In Tyler we trust.
