I'd say the problem is that it did fool me, when I saw it first, when I was 16. And I said, "Oh, shit! Cool!" But then I watched it again and I said, "Oh. Shit."

Physically, logically, spatially, causally, believably. It's a copout, a deus ex machina, as creatively flailing as "It was all a dream." It's the main thing The 3 is parodying, along with other totally ridiculous, impossible films, like High Tension.

Hee hee! Building off Donald Kaufman's The 3, these 54 seconds show exactly how Fight Club is a visually beautiful film and also how it doesn't work at all.

"You know what “Vandalism” did really well? Trade in on the boundless comic potential of adults repeatedly saying the word “butt.”"
