Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.

I'm sure many of us are familiar with the American actor, Brad Pitt. While he's appeared in some rather different films, he made his outstanding appearance in the David Fincher film, Fight Club. Starring Edward Norton and Pitt, Norton plays a man in his early 20s, who's name is never mentioned. After his IKEA and assorted furniture condo is set ablaze after an incident involving nitroglycerine, he contacts a soap dealer, Tyler Durden, whom he met on a flight the day before. Oddly, Norton's character and Tyler have the same briefcases. After rough-housing in a bar parking lot, Tyler and the Narrator form "Fight Club", a place where young men can relieve a day's stress by beating each-other to a pulp. From there, the Narrator realizes a set of spontaneous crimes around the city. Soon, Project Mayhem is commenced, creating a downfall towards oblivion. Watch the movie, read the book. But remember: 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! Personally the best movie ever.
