Culte ... tout simplement ...

Fight Club, David Fincher (1999)..

You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person ?


The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is - you DO NOT talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club, someone yells Stop!, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule, only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule, one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no shirt, no shoes. Seventh rule, fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.


- A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall ? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
- Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents ?
- You wouldn't believe.
- Which car company do you work for ?
- A major one.


Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing. Like the first monkey shot into space.


- I'll tell you: we'll split up the week, okay ? You take lymphoma, and tuberculosis...
- You take tuberculosis. My smoking doesn't go over at all.
- Okay, good, fine. Testicular cancer should be no contest, I think.
- Well, technically, I have more of a right to be there than you. You still have your balls.
- You're kidding.
- I don't know... am I ?
- No, no! What do you want ?
- I'll take the parasites.
- You can't have both the parasites, but while you take the blood parasites...
- I want brain parasites.
- I'll take the blood parasites. But I'm gonna take the organic brain dementia, okay ?
- I want that.
- You can't have the whole brain, that's...
- So far you have four, I only have two !
- Okay. Take both the parasites. They're yours. Now we both have three...


With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels.


Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do ? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments ? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it ? Do you read everything you're supposed to read ? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think ? Buy what you're told to want ? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler.

Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk (1996)..

This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

I want you to hit me as hard as you can.

Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer. Tyler never knew is father. Maybe self-destruction is the answer.

You know, the condom is the glass slipeer of our generation. You slip it on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night, then you throw it away. The condom, I mean. Not the stranger.

You are not a beautiful and unique snow flake. You are the same decaying organic matter that every one else, and we are all part of the same compost pile

I'm still asleep. Here, i'm not sure if Tyler is my dream. Or if I am Tyler's dream.

How Tyler saw it was that getting God's attention for being bad was better than getting no attention at all. Maybe because God's hate is better than His indifference. If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose?

Which is worse, hell or nothing ? Only if we're caught and punished can we be saved.

Believe in me, and you shall die, forever.

How everything you ever love will reject you or die. Everything you create will be thrown away. Everything you're proud of will end up as trash.

Voilà, un petit cadeau de mOoa : un florilège de quelques répliques qui m'ont marquée.
Pi-être que je regarderai de nouveau le DVD demain.
J'ai le livre dans la main. Pi-être que je le relirai aussi. D'ailleurs, si tu ne le connais pas, je te le conseille : il y a de nombreuses variations d'avec l'adaptation cinématographique.. notamment concernant la fin..
Mais, chut : je n'en dis pas plus ^^.

:)

Lol : j'en ai omis de rebondir sur F. Club ! 'spèce de tête en l'air o_O"

********

Yep, tu as vu mon niveau d'innegliche ! C'est la classe hein !
(marki le copier-coller)

Lol : on pense la même chose => ce film est bourré de phrases cultes mais, comme j'avais prévu de te l'écrire (encore un nOubli ^^), je ne pouvais pas copier tous les dialogues de Fincher.

Merci pour tes conseils de lecture : je n'ai pas lu d'autres ouvrages de cet auteur. Je prends note donc :)
Bon, allez, je file penser au Stratégique S. Plan ( et je vais être inspirée pinaise ^^ Rediffusion nocturne de Delarue mdr... émission spéciale sur les relations sentimentales : "mon ex, mon éternel amour" => ben non, pas me concernant. S'ils sont ex, c'est qu'il y a bien une raison :D).

^^ mode réflexion ON

PTDR ! Je me mets en "mode réflexion" et tu débarques sur msn pour me déconcentrer ^^ !

:)

Ps : comment tu as fait pour obtenir l'édition 1996 signée de l'auteur ?

Lol :)

Pour des raisons de "hasard tOtal", je me dois de réactualiser le SSP : je le ferai au + vite. Pour l'instant, je cOgite avec mes lOunettes de Freud ^^ !

L'édition signée, waOuh la classe vi !  ^_^
Mais, tu l'as eue avant ou après la sortie du film ?
Sur E-Bay ?
Combien ?

Bon début de semaine ;)
