Tiny Life

fightclub.com reports that Fox created another website for Fight Club, this one at www.tinylife.com. This site contains a Shockwave presentation with images of Brad Pitt and the rules of Fight Club listed. The first website that Fox released www.tylerdurden.com, has a Shockwave presentation with images of Edward Norton. The poster for Fight Club is out. However, the retailer I contacted that gave me this info wasn't too impressed with the poster, which apparently is similar to the mag ads and is just a bar of soap (I think it also says "Works great on blood stains"), and decided not to buy any posters at all. Fight Club will debut at the Venice Film Festival on September 10th [Thanks to heather for the info!]. TNT's Rough Cut Fall review has a summary of Fight Club

Fight Club ad

Another Fight Club ad is out, this time with the likenesses of Edward Norton and Brad Pitt included with the bar of pink soap. This ad was from Screen International magazine and was part of a Fox ad declaring their pride at being accepted into the Venice Film Festival, which starts Wed Sept 1st [Thanks to simon_t_doc_7 for the image and the information!]. Earlier it has been stated that David Fincher, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter will be in Venice for the premiere. AFI's 100 Years... 100 Stars will be shown on the Family Channel Thurs Sept 2 and Sat Sept 18. EN is one of the actors that talks about his favorite screen legends [Thanks to Galxegrl11 for the info!]. The Newsweek article on Fight Club has been posted on Newsweek.com- click here to read the article. There was some problem with the Quizlet that was preventing the main page from loading, so I have had to temporarily disable it. Hopefully, I can put it back up soon.

Fight Club articles, AHX on video, KTF pics

Newsweek (Sept 6 issue, on sale 8/30/99) has an article about Fight Club. The press release on the article provides only one side of the story. Which side? Well, the main quote is 'I Pray Washington Doesn't Want Kids to See This'... 'What Better Way to Sell It.' by a "source close to Fight Club." Not exactly a puff piece. American History X is now available to buy on video- click here for more info from Amazon.com. Rounders is now showing on STARZ [Thanks to Joanne for the info!]. TV Times (a UK magazine) has an article on EN and Heat (UK mag) and Rolling Stone (David Spade on the cover- fall movie preview) , and the New York Daily News have small articles on Fight Club, and Empire magazine (UK mag- Austin Powers cover) has a small article and two pics from Keeping the Faith [Thanks to starbellyhamster, annicasvensson, and heather for the info!]

Fight Club soundtrack, ads

Amazon.com reports that the Fight Club soundtrack (by the Dust Brothers) will be released on September 28 Click here for more info! Gear magazine's Sept issue has a second version of the Fight Club ad [Thanks to FightClub9 for the info!]. The pink soap with the "Fight Club" protruding is still the same, only the caption is different - "Wash your feminine side clean off". This is going to take a little scrubbing. Speaking of pink soap, it apparently is one of the items included in a promo pack sent to the press that is up for auction on eBay. Here is the description for the promo items:

FIGHT CLUB items sent to press in anticipation of movie's release...metal soap dish, bar of pink glycerin soap (with fight club logo) and tag explaining history of soap.....brown feather (wrapped in kraft with 'fight club' tape and tag explaining that if you stick a feather up your butt, you should wash your hands (apparently with pink soap)....not exactly p.c. but then the movie isn't either......

Now I've seen everything

What the Bukk is this? Joanne has uncovered a shocking link associated with Keeping the Faith. I'm too stunned to talk about it. If you want to see it (let me reassure you that you don't have to do anything that you don't want to), you should click here

Fight Club trailer online

The Fight Club trailer B is now available for download via fightclub.com. Entertainment Weekly next issue (available Monday 8/16) is a fall film preview so it should have a fair amount of coverage of Fight Club. I am distressed to report that the combination of infighting and an excessive number of messages have triggered a mass exodus from the main mailing list. There are two other mailing lists available. Unlike the main mailing list, which allows people to send messages freely, I have complete control as to the content and the number of messages that are sent out in the other lists. More info on all lists

Edward Norton, directing his first feature, Keeping the Faith for Spyglass/Disney in Union Square, was visited on the set by director Gregory Hoblit, directing his New Line Frequency two blocks away. Hoblit gave Norton his first feature role in Primal Fear. The proximity of the two pix is a blessing for Howard ``Hawk'' Koch -- he's producing both pix.
