Why would it seem like I should like it when I've stated repeatedly that I do not?

As I said before, you seem like a pretentious person so it seems that you would like Fight Club since you think it is pretentiuos.

Then again, part of being pretentious is disdaining popular trends and/or movies. So maybe you have a point. Since you are pretentious you don't like Fight Club.

How could I possibly seem to like Fight Club, since I've stated quite clearly numerous times that I do not? Perhaps you do not like Moon because you cannot remember what it's about.

Pretentious? You obviously missed the whole point of Fight Club, which was that modern society is over-filled with pretentions and consumerism, and that Man must return to his primal, unpretentious inner-self in order to be truly free and happy and unburdened by plastic societal constraints.
Fight Club is a cult classic, based on a novel by perhaps the finest, wittiest societal satirist in America, Chuck Palhuinik. He is the modern day Kurt Vonnegut, but far more gritty.
The First Rule of Fight Club is: Don't talk about Fight CLub if you don't know what you're talking about! LOL!

That's what I've been trying to say!!! Read is too busy raging against nihilism to understand. Reminds me of people who think that the Pink Floyd song "Money" is about the band loving money.
