to me, cline's mea culpa is sooooooooo hollow. He says we gotta move past it but it's pure lip service. something he knows he should be better than, but so fucking isn't.

Theoretically, he coulda written a good story about THAT. Real downer ending - the protag has to move beyond the shit he (and Cline) love in order to achieve something valuable, and just fails to. Logs back in.

I don't know. Is Fight Club really that bad for it? Tyler's anti-consumerism statements start out fine, but then Project Mayhem starts forming and even the main character sees the cracks in that. It wasn't quite an immediate wake up at the end. It progressed.

I think the deal with Fight Club is more that it's preaching to the choir. You're supposed to already know macho nihilism is bullshit and then be impressed by how seductive it made it look.

Sadly, many people didn't get that message and it became a popular "bro" movie. I studied both it and the book in university and appreciate it for more than that, but yeah, a LOT of people missed its actual points.

The Oscars could well turn after 3 hrs of saying "Donald Trump is bad, shame on you" & still award BP to film that glorifies all the tactics the NYT/media uses to soften Trump's base to soften Sam Rockwell....if so, RPO wouldn't be Hwood's most damaging hypocrisy this March
