Hill (Co-Host of the War Starts at Midnight podcast), to discuss Fight Club (1999) for its 25th Anniversary: directed by David Fincher, written by Jim Uhls, music by the Dust Brothers, starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meat Loaf.Plot Summary: Fight Club, directed by David Fincher, is a dark, visceral exploration of disillusionment and rebellion in a consumer-driven society. Edward Norton stars as an unnamed narrator, a corporate drone who feels trapped in the relentless cycle of modern capitalism. His insomnia and sense of detachment lead him to underground support groups, where he finds fleeting solace. Still, it's only when he meets the charismatic anarchist Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) that he feels truly alive.Tyler and the narrator start a "Fight Club," an underground fight society where men brawl to escape the numbness of their lives. What begins as cathartic release soon spirals into chaos as Tyler's influence over the narrator grows, drawing him into an increasingly violent, nihilistic philosophy.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome to Our Guests02:40 Cast and Recognition for Fight Club05:28 Relationship(s) with Fight Club10:38 What is Fight Club About?20:28 Does Fight Club Serve a Public Good?30:51 Plot Summary for Fight Club33:58 First Break34:46 What's Up with Andrew and Peterson40:20 Ask Dana Anything?46:32 Best Performance(s) of Fight Club01:03:05 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)01:11:21 Second Break01:12:22 In Memoriam01:18:25 Best/Funniest Lines01:23:37 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:34:21 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:41:36 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:45:47 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:59:25 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:03:08 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total02:05:47 Remaining Questions of Fight Club02:16:09 Thank You to Our Guests and Farewell02:18:56 CreditsGuests:Andrew CornsHost of the Revisionist Almanac@revalmanac on IG, X, YouTube, TikTok, and LetterboxdPreviously on Gaslight (1946) and Do the Right Thing (1989) RevisitPeterson W.

What will happen if smarter, faster, less expensive bots can do your job? What will happen if you use AI to do your own job faster, better, smarter? So many questions! I queried ChatGPT: Tell me about the future of workplace law, employee rights and AI. ChatGPT response: The future of workplace law and AI taking jobs is a complex and multifaceted issue that has been the subject of much discussion and debate in recent years. Here are some possible scenarios: – More jobs will likely be automated but there will also be new opportunities in AI development, maintenance, and monitoring. – We will need new laws and regulations for employers and employees to address data privacy, liability, ethical considerations, and their respective legal rights and obligations. – If workers are displaced from jobs, they will need help to reskill / upskill and transition into new roles to thrive in an AI-driven workplace. – Widespread AI adoption may change income distribution, employment rates, and the nature of work itself. I asked ChatGPT for fictional movie and TV character quotes about “work”. ChatGPT [partial] response: – “I'm not a machine. I'm a human being.” – Factory Worker [Charlie Chaplin], Modern Times, 1936 film – “I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!” – Howard Beale [Peter Finch], Network, 1976 film – “You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet.” – Tyler Durden [Brad Pitt], Fight Club, 1999 film We'll ask Nance L.

Bill and Ted discuss David Fincher’s 1999 film “Fight Club” featuring Edward Norton as an insomniac accountant resentfully living a consumer- driven apathetic life devoid of happiness whose chance meeting with the devil-may-care, philosophizing traveling soap salesman Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) turns his whole world upside down. Adapted from Chuck Palahniuk’s raw nerve of a […]
Adapted from Chuck Palahniuk's book of the same name, Fight Club (1999) was a dense, heady smash DVD hit that has remained a cult classic. The film revolves around the life of an unnamed narrator (Edward Norton) who lives his life in an alienating office job only to go home surrounded by Ikea furniture in his city condo. Attempting to work through his depressed feelings (which have manifested into physical symptoms like insomnia), he attends an array of support groups where he meets the also-depressed Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter in an iconic role). He also meets a new best friend in Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and together, they start a fight club that quickly rises in popularity among men. The hosts discuss the directing genius of David Fincher, various Easter eggs, and how –despite the fact that there are so many films about men– there are few films that explore modern masculinity.

This week on Alcohollywood, our Disney princess Cherish joins us as we hit you as hard as we can with our review and drinking game of 1999’s cult hit Fight Club! This adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel of the same name follows an unnamed narrator (Edward Norton) who finds a release from his disaffected, postmodern life by falling in with radical soap salesman Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Together, they create fight clubs and rebel against the establishment, all the time creating something even more dangerous. In the meantime, the narrator learns more about himself and his relationship with an aimless, misanthropic drifter (Helena Bonham Carter). David Fincher’s gritty-yet-slick style, combined with great cinematography, deft scripting and a dynamic electronic score from the Dust Brothers help make this a greatly watchable dark comedy/thriller with a wonderful sense of pulp complexity. Meanwhile, we’ve got our signature cocktail and drinking rules – check ‘em out!
