Meteo Xavier Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 NO. I would rather there was an OCR Fight Club that anything molesting Calvin and Hobbes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A lot of the comparisons make sense, but some of them might be a bit of a stretch. Very interesting read nevertheless, thanks for posting this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFu Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Meaningful comparison of the stretch. Despite this role, please read the very interesting answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SynthesizedStampede Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You know, of all the good things I've heard in the movie, I've never been REALLY compelled to see the movie. But for some odd reason this comparison makes me want to go out and watch it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Awesome comparison, definitely a stretch, but entertaining nonetheless. I was a huge fan of the movie and the book. The book is a little grittier and has a different ending, for those who want to look into it. Still, as much of a fan as I used to be, I think Fight Club lost some relevance in recent years - it was released in a time of relative prosperity, when one could be bored with a decent job and a fully furnished condo. Now, when a lot of people are struggling to find a job, this kind of frustration rings hollow. Still, Fight Club was a great film, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has not seen it yet.

Petara Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 VERY interesting read. I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes and still have a pile of books lying around here somewhere. After reading the collections to the point of extreme wear and tear (even some of my own little sketches on some pages) and seeing Fight Club more than a few times, I do see some pretty wild coincidences... though, to repeat a few of you, it's still a stretch. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Palahniuk was a fellow fan of the boy and his tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biznut Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Interesting. I see the natural connections, but I don't think the qualities of Fight Club and Calvin and Hobbes are exclusive enough to say something so bold as Calvin is Jack. I would say that Calvin and Hobbes and Fight Club share comparable qualities, (which were outlined decently in this article) but I wouldn't sensationalize it quite so much or at all. Similarities exist, not much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
