Ed Norton as opposed to the obligatory Brad Pitt shot. You know he was in that movie too!



Hey there kids, Fight Club the movie is 10 years old this week! I know right? Where does the time go? So, it has officially corrupted a decade of impressionable youths; much like one of my other favorite anti-social behaviour inspiring classics, A Clockwork Orange. Both, were better books than movies, and both movies were great. Moral of the story, read a book. Funny thing about both books AND both movies is, the endings in the books were better than the movies. Why did they do that? In Fight Club the books ending is dark and fits the tone of the story better, in the end...there is no end. Brilliant, if you ask me why throw that ending away? In A Clockwork Orange there is an entire chapter that changes the ending 100%. It's even a happy ending, why would they change that? The official reason given by Stanley Kubrick when he was sucking in air was that he read the American version of the book which omitted the last chapter. 1st, why on Earth would any publisher do that and in his preparation for making the movie didn't anyone bring that up? "Hey, Stan, I got this other version of that book were making into a movie, it's from the U.K. or something, anyways it's got a whole different ending and an extra chapter...we should do that movie I think." People are stupid. Anyways, go get the blue ray of Fight Club cause the blood will be, like, in your living room as opposed to just on your T.V. Get those books too, they're really good.
