Fight Club re-imagined

[click for re-cut trailer]

And here you thought The Fight Club was just a visceral take on the nihilistic hegemony of postmodern existence. Who knew that beneath it all, the movie is really a heartwarming, life-affirming romantic comedy? Boy meets girl, boy loves girl, girl loves him back, girl meets someone else, throw in a case of "mistaken" identity, misunderstanding cleared up, boy reunities with girl, happy ever after... well sorta.

David Fincher would have a fit, especially if Nora Ephron beats him to making Fight Club II: Marla's Story... :)

"If I did have a tumor, I'd name it Marla."- Narrator, The Fight Club
