Wannabe Tyler Durdens across the land will be all gooned-up to watch Fight Club in the soon-to-be-released Blu-ray edition. Imagine the testosterone-depleting buzzkill they’ll experience when, upon loading up that disk, they see the DVD menu/music for Drew Barrymore’s romantic comedy Never Been Kissed cue up.
As they surely will, because director David Fincher decided to be funny:
So, what the what? We talked to [Fox Home Entertainment] and it turns out it’s a late-arriving Fight Club-style gag from Fincher himself, who chose an un-Fight Club-like movie from the same year that Fight Club bombed at the box office. Barrymore, a friend of [FC star Edward] Norton’s, approved the gag.
Not bad. But if Fincher really wanted to pull a fast one, he should have designed a mock menu with a “Calvin and Hobbes” theme. Thus validating the premise that Fight Club is a dark, grown-up version of the classic comic strip.
