Fox-Filmboss sagt, Führungskräfte dachten, „X-Men“ sei eine „Katastrophe“ und Rupert Murdoch sei wegen „Fight Club“ ausgeflippt: „Was für ein kranker verdammter Mensch würde das machen?“

This article is trying to get a reaction from readers and I’m not giving it to them. Hindsight is 20/20 and I’m sure there’s more context to what happened at the time and I’m not gonna read that article to find out
Haha get fucked Murdoch
Fight Club is sick only in its symbolic preamble to 9/11 or rather, psyching young American males up to fight (overseas). Not the only media to do so in this time period.
Rupert Murdoch thinking Fight Club is sick tells you everything you need to know about the billionaire class.
Considering its message of course he’d hate Fight Club lmao
Murdoch should be in federal prison with his son.
Your daily reminder of how stupid C-Suite people are and that we should all be fucking irate they make 400x, 450x or more the median wage.
I thought both movies were excellent and they represent the types of movie that people actually go to the cinema for vs the unoriginal, generic sequel rubbish that we mostly get now
I remember listening to an interview with Brad Pitt where he talked about getting stoned with Edward Norton and going to the Venice film festival. Apparently the audience hated it and they laughed their asses off while the movie was booed
Leave it to Murdoch to be outraged at getting back at the rich and powerful corporations that keep people as debt slaves. Not at all surprised by Murdoch’s going for the sleaze and trashy to win over audiences. That is still his go-to strategy with his media empire.
I mean he’s BFFs with Hugh Jackman so apparently it all worked out.
Murdoch probably got offended at the idea of debt erasure
Yet another reason why studio executives shouldn’t be the ones making creative decisions. I will never understand Hollywood.
This is why soulless corpo’s should never be in charge of the creative process
Ah yes, X-Men starring Hugh Jackman, the godfather of 2 of Rupert Mudoch’s daughters.
You would think that the execs would be looking at films purely in terms of probable return on their investment and not the content itself. Fight Club underperformed at the box office, but X-Men was pretty huge.
How long until Rupert Murdoch finally croaks, or is he going to achieve immortality?
Rupert murdoch is human scum, the only thing we should be doing with this information is celebrating fight club.
Plus fox did it’s best to ruin every iteration of the X men they released. The only reason those movies were good was a mix of fiege going the extra mile and having an amazing cast evey time.
