One of the biggest problems i see for a 2024 version is it'd be even harder to hand-wave the medical attention everyone so easily got in the original. Maybe have the club make friends with disenfranchised veternarians? Getting cheek meat sewn back together with spaying and neutering needles while wasted on large animal tranquilizers in someone's basement definitely matches the tone and the aesthetic of the original. "Whether you like it or not, you are an animal. You need to live off more than kibble. You need space to run and play. You need to be socialized with other mammals. You need enrichment in your enclosure." comes from tumblr, but it wouldn't sound out of place in the mouth of a space monkey medic.

I get what you’re saying. I can see the members claiming that we ‘ attacked for their wallet’ and claiming the streets are getting worse to explain their injuries.

3:24 If Marla is another alternate personality, she would be the yin to Tyler's yang. Remember Jack's table that he describes as being "in the shape of a yin-yang?" In Taoism, that symbol is called a taijitu. The balance of yin and yang are what it represents. 5:12 Not that we don't want to have to think. Just that we don't want to have to obsess over tedious banality or "that which does not matter." 5:40 Some describe him as "a Nietzschean ubermensch." 6:27 Andy Tater is a Philistine barbarian. Change my mind. 10:33 It was by happenstance that he survived it because he put the muzzle in his mouth too far to the left. And by that, I mean the inside of his left cheek.

You had my subscription before I even finished your video. A TV series for Fight Club would be amazing. I don't mind if it's modernised or works with the original but it's so necessary. Today really mirrors the sentiment of the 90s gloom in that we don't have a great struggle other than the hardships of our life. Inflation, cost of living, echo chamber division of culture and a heavy disconnect from each other. No one thing we can all band together and struggle through... I'd love further videos on this Also the bit you said about the narrator and both fearing and ideating death... Oof that hit home to some dark times in my late teens and 20s. I now love Fight Club even more

Yes. At theaters, I remove my hearing aids and it's still too loud,. The opening sequence was worth the price of admission. I didn't take the movie personally because it seemed aimed at a stereotype rather than actual men. I think the sensitivity comes from a generation of TV commercials where the woman shows up the man. That gets very, very old. I was also out of sorts for days when a woman got in an elevator with me, and waited until I had exited before choosing a different floor. (A black college student said that he could stop people from crossing the street to avoid him by whistling Vivaldi). I take Morgan's point because in the mainstream media I read (Washington Post, New York Times), you'll see feminist, man-blaming articles often, but not one that blames women for anything. It's inconceivable. That makes me very tired. It primes the right-wing echo chamber to howls. I don't howl, but I do know what they mean.

I once had a gate agent at Canberra tell me she didn't think I could be American because I didn't have enough luggage. (I know what she means.) At work, I encountered so much defensiveness--a co-worker telling me that she was sure that in America, stores were bigger than this--pre-empting me, she thought. Or another who asked me what I thought was the best country in the world, and was quite anxious when I said everyone likes what they grew up with. Or the tour guide at Kata Tjuta who told me that Americans aren't interested in learning about aboriginal culture, only about observing how America does it better. Or the relocation agent who was that if I were from Texas, she was sure I'd want the biggest apartment I'd find. I talked to one lady about it and she said she expected the kind of brashness and arrogant self-promotion that we'd associate with a finance bro in the Street. I told everyone that Americans have no negative opinion of Australia at all--and it's the truth. Nothing. Everyone brought up the gun issue, and I told them that America was born in a revolution, and we reserve the right to do it again. A disarmed citizenry is an invitation to tyranny. I found that in Oz, people view the government as a benign institution, however much they savage the pols. To most Americans, it is a cancer that will consume all your money and freedom unless continuously trimmed back. Gun control even gives my left-leaning wife the shivers. Thomas Payne wrote that "the tree of freedom must be watered with the blood of patriots in every generation". By that standard, we're way, way overdue. Someone once compared Germans to a coconut--hard-shelled, but soft if you manage to get through. Americans are peaches--soft on the outside until you hit a hard core you can't penetrate. Observation about space and time was dead on. It was a shock in London standing at the tombs of the Tudors--I knew they were real, but still, standing in front of them was a shock. At some level, they were still stories to me.

Interesting take. The movie is full of death references, but I never took it as literal death. "Jack" clearly wishes he was dead, but as a personality, not a body. He has no respect for himself in any dimension. At the end, he doesn't become Tyler, he triumphs over Tyler, and I've always wondered who he is then. A synthesis? Back to "Jack"? The movie doesn't give us any clues, except that "You found me at a very strange time in my life" doesn't sound Tyler-like. A reboot. Never thought about that either, perhaps, because as you say, its themes are still all too much us. I believe the central theme is power vs. powerlessness. "Jack" is all too aware that he is a cog in a machine with no control over much of his life. He seems to have given in to despair and given up any sense of agency. Tyler controls everything and everyone. He's a fantasy only because he lives in a consequence-free world. My alter ego does, too.

I actually hope that a prequel isn't made, nor a remake for 2024. The film provokes thought and interpretation and its more about what it doesn't say than what it does I feel. I don't want those questions answered by someone else's prequel/remake. The story of FC for me is what happens in the viewer's mind, not what is shown on the screen. Just my 2p. Keep up the good work, YT is a tough place but more like this and you'll continue to smash it.

This cr@p is as woke as it gets and I found myself rolling my eyes the entire time, wanting to slap most of the arrogant Barbies. Especially the 'human' chick who went on a blubbering rant on how the world is so unfair to women.

7:23 - I just can't take this line seriously. The movie was representing the real world as a place where women don't have any power and even had the mom monologue for a few minutes about everything that's expected from women. I felt like the line: "...and one day Ken's will have as much power and influence in Barbieland as women have in the real world" was a jab and a twist of the knife. Barbieland is staying the same, Kens won't even have a right to vote yet, but "one day" for sure, pinkie promise. That power and influence line wasn't saying to me that Kens and Barbies will be equal in Barbieland, it was saying it will be just as unequal as the real world, just with the genders flipped. I honestly don't know if that line was meant as a joke, but it was specifically pointing out the inequality between genders and whether you take the real world or the "real world in Barbie" as the comparison for how the Kens' future will it look like, it will not be equal until the real world changes to be equal.

Where was the part in your gender reversal where they call her useless and at the end call her a little less useless. People aren't outraged because the film if attacking men, they're mad because the Kens are treated as shit on a sidewalk and then say that's how it is for women in the real world which is false. When the Kens took over they still showed love, respect and compassion towards the Barbies despite them being indifferent about their existance. Ryan plays the perfect role of an insecure teen with a crush. The movie spreads the perfect message to men: you are enough to become the best version of you. It also spreads the worst message to girls: you are perfect the way you are and you don't need to change, the world needs to change for you.
