BUt it is primarily about Terrance Howard and Channing Tatum's characters fighting for respect and closure of old wounds, respectively. Interesting, not great. but not a waste of time. catch it on cable in a few months.

It's about emotionally neutered men trying to find meaning in their materialistic lives by tapping into something primal. The clubs are then just a set up for the twist of destabilizing conformity while illustrating that non-conformity is itself a form of conformity. Fight Club really isn’t about fighting, though.

But my local alternative newspaper printed a rather favorable review of the movie that almost makes me want to see it. Almost. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/on-screen/Content?oid=1473755 Then again, they liken it to the first Fast & Furious movie. Which I can't even come close to tolerating anymore. I mean, I love Vin Diesel (for some ungodly reason), but anything that contains a Paul Walker instantly loses my attention. Every time I see trailers and TV spots for this movie I cringe.

I never liked these movies were it condones fighting just as the answer to everything or as sport, like "Never back Down". "Fight Club" is the only good one because it had actual substance and amazing actors. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the title was stupid.

If it was called The Fighter, it would lead me to believe that this is a guy that's been a fighter all of his life, that fighting has become his life, that HE is a fighter (like The Wrestler). By being called Fighting, it makes me think more about WHY the guy is fighting, what led him to fight to claw his way out of problems. It's more something he does than something he is. That's my perception at least. I think the title makes sense.

When I first saw that title I thought that Hollywood had become so unoriginal that they couldn't even make up decent titles anymore. It's bad enough that theaters are flooded with remakes and adaptions. You are not alone.

For all I know, it could be great. But I'm sure you've heard the expression "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." If the title is our first impression, the rest of the movie has some ground to cover! Liz, I’m not trying to condemn the movie. For all I know, it could be great.

It fits so perfectly into the premise of this comic too! "Okay, next we have a movie about a family moving into a house in Connecticut where they're terrorized by ghosts ..." "Haunting!" "Um, I think there's already a movie with that title..." "Okay ... Haunting in Connecticut!" And let’s not forget “Haunting in Connecticut”. It fits so perfectly into the premise of this comic too!

“Haunting!”
