    I always liked the film.

    The biggest problem with the Fight Club movie is that it cast hot, cool, charismatic people like Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, and Brad Pitt in the primary roles. Instead of seeming grotesque and weird and unhealthy (which the book definitely sells) they made it look cool in an anti-culture heroin chic way. If they cast Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe, and Tilda Swinton (just pulling "weird" actors out of my ass) the movie would have read very differently.

    (I don't want to imply that Steve isn't cool and charismatic, he's just not Hollywood Handsome the way Pitt and Norton are).
