>I also read the book and the film is a pretty poor adaptation.

Interesting perspective on this, according to IMDB:

>Director Paul Verhoeven admits to have never finished the novel, claiming he read through the first few chapters and became both bored and depressed, calling it "a very right-wing book" in Empire magazine. He then told screenwriter Edward Neumeier to tell him the rest. Verhoeven and Neumeier then decided that while both the novel and its author Robert A. Heinlein strongly supported a regime led by a military elite, they would turn the concept around and satirize it, making the film a hyperbole of contemporary American politics and culture. Diehard Heinlein fans declare that the filmmakers have completely misinterpreted Heinlein's nature and intentions. They say he was a libertarian who opposed conscription and militarism. He depicted the oligarchy-by-ex-military-citizenry government in the book because it was an example of something that has never been done in real life. He was not advocating it, but was merely speculating that such a system could exist without collapsing.

>Fight Club. I thought this was the coolest thing ever. But now that I'm older i see fight club how its supposed to be. A satire. And it went from this cool film to a comedy to me.

It's confusing to me that as you grew up and recognized Fight Club had more maturity than just cool dudes punching, that somehow made the movie worse to you. I can understand it might not hold the same place in your heart but I think that complexity elevates it.

wtf she's literally looming right into these little kid's faces and shouting at them full volume about punishing them. poor kids!
