I saw two very gruesome movies. Fight Club, which was amusing and benefitted greatly from really nice performances by Brad Pitt, Edward Norton (who has not been bad in anything I've seen), Helena Bonham Carter and Meat Loaf. The philosophical "we are being crushed by consumerism" is larded on a bit thick, but it is carried by the actors, it can be wry, and it is ambitious. Still, it is also gross and unpleasantly violent. I found myself fastforwarding past several gratuitous scenes, which were then transformed to comedic.
