In possibly the best home video prank since the Elite Night of the Living Dead disc started up with a scratched-up print and out of sync music before revealing the beautiful new restoration, the new Fight Club Blu-Ray doesn’t even start up with the movie at all. Pop the disc in your blu-ray player and this is the menu that will pop up-
Kudos to David Fincher for messing with his fans like that. Drew Barrymore apparently gave the ok to her good pal Edward Norton for the joke, and Fox implored reviewers not to reveal it before release this Tuesday.
As for the disc itself, the bonus features are identical to the amazing 2-disc special edition DVD along with an extra feature on the audio design, and an acceptance speech at the (sigh) Spike TV 2009 Guy’s Choice Awards. (Seriously though, everyone gets how homoerotic the film is, right? I can’t believe people can completely overlook that.) Buy it from CHUD here!

Two words: SPOILER ALERT. Thanks a lot, fuckheads.
I'd rather watch NEVER BEEN KISSED anyway.
Thanks for spoiling that Alex.
A spoiler alert? For a DVD menu? Grow up. It won't ruin your enjoyment of the film, therefore it is not a spoiler.
It's insane the amount people whine about 'spoilers' these days, particularly people who go to movie websites to find out every possible detail about a film before they see it and then complain that it gave something away.
Utter Genius. Can we talk briefly about what a phenomenal year 1999 was for movies?
Alex – You suck.
It matters so little that Fox implored reviewers not to reveal it.
Sorry to have ruined your day! I hope you all can get over it.
Wow Fight Club is so outrageous! So subversive!
Spoiler? You already watched the movie you jackass, its 10 years old.
Over a f'ng menu, holy sh*t people you are retarded.
P.S. they changed the ending in this release and you now find out Brad really is a fag and Angelina is his tranny dom.
Wow, i'm so glad other people think that they can tell other people how to feel these days. Ironic that they are doing it on a Fight Club post.
Alex, do you think the point that people are missing with the film is that it's homoerotic? Now I'm starting to think YOU don't get the movie. That wasn't anywhere near "the point."
God, Never Been Kissed is on my short list for the absolute worst movie I've ever seen. My girlfriend made me watch it. Honest. She makes up for it by hating Twilight, though.
I don't even read this site, someone forwarded me this link because they heard I was getting the Blue Ray version. I open up the link and *Blatz* you've pre-empted Ed Norton's attempt to enrage me with grade-A chicanery. So F you to my friend, F you to Alex, and to Chud… enh, I guess you're still cool. Some of us work for a living, give me at least one free weekend to have time to experience this cunning ruse for myself.
No one from this site can mention this film without saying that so many guys "don't get" the film. O.K chud, only you understand what David and Chuck were really saying. What a buch of pretentious douche bags.
This shit was all over the internet before it hit here. All over Yahoo! and other popular movie sites. Get over it.
Alex, instead of a "…hope you can get over it." remark, how about taking down the article or posting a "spoiler" warning to those who haven't read it. It hasn't ruined my day but it would've been a nice joke to see tonight when I popped it into my Blu Ray player tonight. Not anymore I guess…
Come on, man. People are getting a little ridiculous with the spoiler stuff. It's a menu. As for being pretentious about the film- sorry if it comes off like that or if it seems like we pretend we're the only ones, but people still really do completely misunderstand this film. Check out some comments that were posted on our friends at DVD Active about the logo looking "gay", for instance- http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/fight-club3.html?page=1
David Fincher is God.
@8
I'll get over it, but you'll still be a dick.
Poor form, alex.
If the actors gave the nod for this, why the fuck is anyone bitching.. This isnt a spoiler, and unless you just within the next few days go out and by the dvd, you will forget bout this article.. The only way to ruin this, is to ruin it YOURSELF.. Most people dont remember this while buying a dvd, lol.. good god people
People are upset about spoiling the menu screen? Wow. If revealing the menu screen of a Blu-ray is spoiling any amount of enjoyment in your life, you should probably just give up and just stop living.
