Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Fight Club is one of my favourite films, and Brad Pitt and Edward Norton's acting just makes it that much more memorable.

The quote at the beginning of this post was spoken by Brad Pitt, who plays Tyler Durden.

I honestly believe everyone should either see this film or, even better, read the book by the genius that is Chuck Palahniuk.

I've only seen this film around five times, yet i could quote almost half of it. You hear the unnamed main character and Tyler Durden discussing things like sex, money and jobs. You listen to it, and you realise how true the words are.

Yeah, i'm leaving it there for now. Don't ask me what made me post this, i honestly don't know...Maybe it's my subconcious telling me i need to watch/read this again.
