Agreed about "Fight Club"; it's technically excellent, just slightly smarter than the average picture of its kind, and plenty entertaining. Excessive analysis of it, however, is probably as silly and pointless as many of the picture's own machinations, and many of its more tangible 'points' are hardly groundbreaking. Still, though, it's full of nice details and diversions, and never sags deleteriously over the two-hours-plus time-investiture. And, of course, there's also the talking penguin.
