I just found out that Fight Club was released ten years ago this weekend. Ten...fucking...years. Holy shit, I'm old.
I remember going to see the flick opening night, and there weren't a whole hell of a lot of people there. I adored it and went to see it three more times, with fewer and fewer people there every time. Fincher was already in my top five directors, thanks to Se7en and The Game, even his commercial and video work. I was hyped about the movie for a year, and was real disappointed it did so poorly.
Later, shortly after the DVD came out, everyone was suddenly the hugest fan of Fight Club. "Have you seen this movie, Fight Club!?!" Umm...yeah. Apparently the studio marketing department was not allowed to talk about it.
