Blame Canada

BTW: fight club was the shit... When Chuck Palahuik was asked why he wrote it, he replied:

The publishing company told me my first book was too dark. So I wrote one ten times as dark and submitted that.

Throughout the writing of fight club, the man got into fights.

This man is fucking badass.

Matrix deserved tech awards. Fight club deserved FAR more. It and AmBeauty really said something to the average person about their life. The Matrix tried, but all it ended up being was cute and pretty (but hell, it was FUCKING pretty . . .)

73 true dat.
nuff said.
that was the kind of movie you could fucking HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM NOW and you just can\'t leave. ( that\'s hypothetical by the way, um . . )

What\'s so amazing about the nomination? The composer has quite a Broadway track record behind him.

Anyway, the coolest nominations are for \"American Beauty.\" That flick had bite. Spacey rocks.

#66 - are you assuming that everyone who liked Fight Club is a bloodthirsty angst-ridden \'I hate my father\' teen? First off - Fight Club didn\'t have a singular \'message\' - or \'point\' - In an interview the author said the book didn\'t have any singular point, and was meant primarily as entertainment (though it certainly is thought provoking) and I doubt Fincher was trying to say any one think as well.

*spoilers below*

Fight Club was so thought provoking because at the beginning the audience thinks the movie\'s message is just anti-establishment, anti-consumerist. I\'m sure lots of people bought into that, myself included - as Norton\'s character\'s life was just awful, we wanted to see that apartment full of IKEA crap burn. As the movie progresses though, you\'re just thinking \"HOLY FUCK!\" this Fight Club shit has gone way too far. It seems like the movie does a 360 in what it\'s trying to tell you. This is maybe where you get the idea Fight Club is making fun of it\'s audience. But think about it - Norton\'s guy\'s life still sucked ass before Fight Club, it\'s still apparent there\'s some value in anti-consumerism. The deal is - it\'s not trying to tell you anything (like say, American Beauty, which was cool anyway, but not nearly as interesting as Fight Club), it\'s trying to get you to think.

70, read the book. The message won\'t be muddied by your perceptions of the actors involved. Then maybe you\'ll get the message.

Its called \"acting\" numbnuts. Brad Pitt doesn\'t necessarily have to believe what his character believes. He\'s merely acting out the script.

So, when an actor plays Hitler or Jesus, does he have the same beliefs as them? Durrr....

*hawkeye*

Yes, I love being told that materialism is bad by someone who makes $15 million dollars a movie, has sex with Jennifer Aniston, and lives in a mansion.

Pimpstick:
no ehh, but it is spelled eh?
get it right eh?

PS - to everyone who raves about \"Fight Club.\" Are you aware that the movie is actually making fun of people like you?

Wrong.

Its making fun of anyone who sells their soul and wastes their life.

*hawkeye*

Satan was robbed! His \"Up There\" was the best song in the \"South Park\" movie. That, or \"What would Brian Boitano Do.\" Oh well. The Academy will never give South Park an Oscar, so Trey Parker needn\'t bother writing that speech.

Geekboy movies \"Fight Club\" and \"The Matrix\" got exactly the noms they deserved: technical stuff; anything else would have been a joke and a half.

You\'re Welcome!

I hope American Beauty gets best picture. Loved that movie.

#33 try editing, sound, sound effects editing, and a couple other categories. I would have liked to see fight club as best picture nominee though.

Canada the home of women with big MELONS yes I have seen this with my own two eyes , the women up there have huge MELON stuck on there chests ,not all mind you but alot of them do.o and stevie killcreek is in yahoo mag _________march issue holding the Daikatana sword..hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha boy is she getting the Pub lately.

51, yeah i read the book! It was quite good. I picked up another book by the author, Chuck Palahniuk, from the library called \"Survivor\" but I never got around to reading it. Watch for Fight Club to get more and more popular as people check it out on video. Its gonna be one of those cult hits. All my friends love it, its just not mainstream enough to gain huge box-office draws. People at first are drawn to Brad Pitt and Ed Norton (who OWNS) but then they\'re scared away by the violence and storyline. Rosie O\'Donnell for example. She hated it. Clueless, fat bitch.

Hi, I need 80 people to respond to my survey, I\'ve been posting this survey for the past two weeks and not a single person has signed it so I still need 80 people to fill it out. If I don\'t get 80 people to sign, my penis will be lopped off.

Please goto http://www.pen15.com/ and sign my form. Thanks!

BAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

It\'s like the movie came to life.

Actually this made it on the news here in Canada tonight. It seems our socialist politicians (nearly all of them) don\'t like the song and were bashing it on the CBC news (which is funded by the government). I personally thought it was funny but apparently I\'m the minority.

Pretty weird that they would get angry at this song though of all things.
Best quote from the newscast was

\"And at the rate things are going Canada will be getting blamed for many of America\'s problems in the next few years\".

..ok well I guess you had to be there....

Thanks!

BTW I\'m not gay, thanks.

hehehaha!! :) I totally agree #54. Have we officially apologized for Celine Dion yet though?!

Canadians need to be blamed for the ills they have done to the world. Peace keeping is such a disturbing socialist concept! It must stop now!

steve, i posted this in first post a while ago!! No props to sweat????

C\'mon steve, make me famous!!

I hope it wins. While I might have laughed more at Uncle Fucka, the songs aren\'t nominated for that...Blame Canada has a fair amount of musical complexity, plus social commentary that\'s the centerpiece of the movie.

Should we blame the matches? Should we blame the fire? Or the doctors who allowed him to expire? HECK NO! Blame Canada!

Sweet.

#50.. did you read the book?

It was fucking great.

\"people who display this kind of honesty make me want to go a great, big rubbery one\"

FYI, matrix and fight club were both nominated for an award or two. complete and utter shite awards (not best picture or anything) but they got nominated for something nonetheless. Like editing, sound, and special effects or something. throwaway awards.

I think Fight Club was the 38th highet grossing flick this year. Not terrible, not great, but certainly less than what was expected from their huuuggee marketing campaign. Oh well, watch for it to be a huge hit on video. I know it\'ll be the first movie i actually go out and purchase in years....

\"I haven\'t been fucked like that since grade school!\"

Fucking classic flick...

*hawkeye*

#48, nine out of ten soccer moms suck Dad\'s cock.

The Matrix wasn\'t nominated because....... 9 out of 10 soccer moms agree: \"Trenchcoats are a bad influence!\"

Edward Norton deserved to win last year for American History X. He rules!

Fight Club may have flopped but it was an excellent film. One of those movies that leaves you thinkin\'. Matrix was a fun ass roller coaster that you could ride over and over again.

Edward Norton deserved a nomination for Fight Club.

Fight Club flopped, which might have something to do with its lack of recognition.

In truth, The Matrix doesn\'t deserve a lot of awards.
