Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Quote From Fight Club?

A lot of punches are thrown around in Fight Club, as are a lot of great lines.

A lot of punches are thrown around in Fight Club, as are a lot of great lines. If you're a fan of the late '90s film starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, then you probably know the cardinal rule of Fight Club is that you're not supposed to talk about it — but that doesn't mean you can't quote it. Take a look at a few of my favorite lines from the movie, and then share your own in the comments!

  • "The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club." — Tyler Durden
  • "This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time." — The Narrator
  • "The things you own end up owning you." — Tyler Durden

Favorite Movie Bad Boys

This Friday we'll get a peek at Michael Cera's mustached, naughty alter ego, Francois, in the new release Youth in Revolt. Francois is a rebel, torching buildings and breaking into girls dorm rooms — and yes, naturally, he's French. In honor of his general badass-ness, I decided to round up some of my favorite Francois predecessors in film (warning: lots of greasy hair and leather jackets ahead). Check them out!

The First Rule of Soap Club Is, You Don't Talk About Soap Club

It's hard to believe that Fight Club hit movie screens 10 years ago, but, well, time flies.


It's hard to believe that Fight Club hit movie screens 10 years ago, but, well, time flies. In a tribute to one of the grossest parts of the plot, Etsy seller SerendipityEight is offering soaps inspired by the movie. Available in Bay Rum and Cool Water scents, they're a convincing knockoff of the soap that Brad Pitt holds on the movie poster. Fortunately, the homage goes only so far; this soap is made with shea butter and glycerin, not human fat. Get yours for $5 if you're so inclined — but move fast, before the copyright cops jump into the ring.

Movie Preview

Movie Preview: Choke

Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character.


Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character. Oh, and funny, of course. Also, just like Fight Club, there are group therapy scenes as this character is a bit of a sex addict.

The movie received a lot of good buzz coming out of this year's Sundance Film Festival, even winning the Special Jury Prize. The film hits theaters August 1 and stars Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Houston, and an actress I'm always excited to see onscreen again (especially after her performance in No Country for Old Men), Kelly Macdonald.

Humor

Baby Fight Club (It's Cuter Than You Think)

Leave it to a bunch of dudes to think taking their toddlers to Baby Fight Club for one-on-one sparring is an acceptable afternoon excursion.

Leave it to a bunch of dudes to think taking their toddlers to Baby Fight Club for one-on-one sparring is an acceptable afternoon excursion. Lovely. But no matter what they do to make their babies appear macho — pretending to serve up a hearty bowl of nuts and bolts is just low, I might add — the little tykes are too cute to ever be intimidating. Maybe it's the droopy diapers?

Brad Pitt and Edward Norton Together Again!

Fight Club reunion! Brad Pitt and Edward Norton will share the screen again in State of Play, a film adaptation of the British miniseries.


Fight Club reunion!
Brad Pitt and Edward Norton will share the screen again in State of Play, a film adaptation of the British miniseries. Kevin MacDonald, who did a phenomenal job with Last King of Scotland, will direct.

What's it about?
According to Variety, "Norton will play a congressman whose speedy political rise is threatened by an investigation into the death of his mistress. Pitt plays a politico-turned-journalist whose relationship with the solon is compromised when he oversees his newspaper's investigation into the murder and develops a relationship with the pol's estranged wife."

Hurrah!
These two make an electrifying duo onscreen, and I can't wait to see them together again.
