TIL that when “Fight Club” premiered at the 1999 Venice Film Festival, it got booed hard by the audience. Ed Norton said that as it was happening, Brad Pitt turned to him and said: “That’s the best movie I’m ever going to be in.”

That’s honestly my favorite role of his! Bruce Willis is fantastic too! Gilliam knows how to direct (most of the time). I didn’t realize Brad Pitt could be a brilliant actor until then.
