    That was rude of me, let me rephrase.

    There are many things in Fight Club that are enjoyable, snappy dialogue, clever moments (I wonder if beating the shit out of yourself in a CEO’s office just as security arrives to create an awkward situation has any chance of working irl)

    However, the film has attracted a rather toxic cult following that seem to think Tyler Durden’s the good guy… and sadly the film’s most vocal fans are from this group.

    I personally have seen the flick twice and did not much care for it myself, just for the record (So you don’t get the impression I judge the film’s quality solely on this subgroup)

      thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it :-) . I have quite the opposite experience, as people I know like it are mostly cinema enthusiast and like it mostly for its cinematic features, definitely not a teaching film.

      Maybe is a geographical thing, although to be fair I would never have a friend so full of himself as Tyler, so I may have a selection bias.

      For me was the presentation of Marla that I remember the most, such interesting way of introducing a character.

      anyway, have a nice day!
