may be, but I think it was WAY over-done
Select to view spoiler:
I mean, shooting his head off should have killed him, and not just got rid of Tyler. The movie should have stopped RIGHT then, and not gotten into that business with the girl at all. and the explosions weren't even half-way decent.

yeah but

it ricocheted off his tooth and exploded out the side of his face, not the back of his head. botched suicides happen like that :-P added to the whole fucked-upness of the movie

yeah... but

how could that have killed Tyler, if it didn't kill Jack? And split personalities just don't work like that. Plus the whole deal with the henchmen dragging in Martha or whatever her name was, when Jack made sure that Tyler wouldn't have known where she was going, and the cheesy explosions? uh-uh.

but you're not considering
Select to view spoiler:
How do you KNOW split personalities don't work that way, when part of what Tyler was was actually a schizophrenic hallucination? And besides, remember the whole thing about "if you know i know" and "i know this because Tyler knows this"? just cuz they're "separate" doesn't mean they dont subconsciously have a clue about whatever the other one is doing. not to mention the fact that Project Mayhem probably infiltrated every level of infrastructure from the buses to the cops. Tyler was probably having Jack followed in the event that a loose end (like Marla) came up. remember when he was talking to the police and saying "you're making a BIG mistake, fellas!" "you told us you'd say that." "I'M NOT TYLER DURDEN!" "you definitely told us you'd say that." he planned Jack's responses beforehand. who's to say if just because he *believed* that shooting himself in the head to kill tyler wouldn't make it happen? Trauma can do crazy things to a person, and i think shooting urself is a bit traumatic, especially if u survive the aftermath.
And about the explosions, well duh. the buildings were rigged to EXPLODE, so of course theyre *going* to explode. he didn't diffuse all of them, just that one. and the one he diffused tyler probably re-rigged when he took over again anyway.

yes, true, and you have a point. The explosions were a bit much- because of the low SFX. it was pitiful
. But you do have a point there, and it makes sense, so I'll let you win that one ^_^NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

this was a triumph.
i'm making a note here. HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science.
we do what we must
because we can.
for the good of all of us,
except the ones who are dead.
but there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
you just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
and the Science gets done,
and we make a neat gun
for the people who are
STILL ALIVE!
sorry, every time i hear or see the words 'still' and 'alive' strung together consecutively, that gorram song starts playing in my head @_@

It could be worse. Every time I see or hear the word alive I get flashbacks from the opening of ,"The Six Million Dollar Man" - "Steve Austin a man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better, stronger, faster."
