Re: Jumper
the message behind fight club is simply this (and chuck P has said this himself):
people's lives are empty because they are not living for something greater than themselves. whatever outlets that allowed people to truly live fulfilled lives in the past (church, nation, etc.) are no longer tangible to "Jack"'s generation. so in order for them to truly fulfill their lives and to alleviate the emptiness that gnaws at them, they decide to fight. the only thing chuck p is trying to say, in this regard, is whether it be fighting, gardening or whatever you like, just choose something to occupy the emptiness naturally residing within idle humans, because the Ikea catalog just won't cut it.
tyler only becomes a flawed character when he decides to shake up that whole idea, and says instead of living for something greater to fulfill himself yourself an individual, eliminate the idea of individuality itself. he does this in order to further his overblown ideas of anti-consumerism; as if consumerism were causing the problem of emptiness itself. tyler is just taking a basically correct philosophy and pushing it to extremism.
chud articles are written by nerdy, sexually repressed, hentai addicts, and are only ever taken seriously by nerdy, sexually repressed, hentai addicts...

P.S. i hate how they rant about the "meat heads" not understanding (who btw, clearly gave them a significant amount of shit in high school), when they clearly don't get the book/movie themselves.
fucking faggots.
