Think about it. This gives out a positive message to young children of all ages, and it embraces the dark side of being a child in quite some depth, but ultimately, it says:"You can survive" Compare and contrast to Fight Club; Hopeless, nihilistic, not really that entertaining, and, let's face it, who could enjoy watching it twice? I think this is a good, moral opinion. What about you?
shareYou may be right, but The Fight Club had Brad Pitt in it. Do you get where I'm going with this?

It doesn't make any sense comparing this movie to Fight Club. Fight Club is a violent action movie geared towards young adults, while Harriet the Spy is intended for children. It's like comparing apples and oranges. I liked Fight Club better, but that's because I was a young adult when I saw it. It all depends what kind of movie you're into.

Fight Club was an excellent film but I guess someone who quotes House of Wax for their signature would not understand Fight Club in the first place.

I'm unfamiliar with the word "nihilistic". However, after searching 'nihil', I think I grasped the intent of your partial foreign description of "Fight Club" to be 'from nothing nothing is produced.' Well, I don't know about "Fight Club" -- haven't seen it, but I looked it up. So, how are these two films -- "Harriet the Spy" and "Fight Club" commensurable? After reading the plot summary for "Fight Club," I don't see a common measure between the two. Your post, Wilander, overall makes no sense.(To poster daniel-orr: thankyou for your intelligence.) You must have been misdirected to have posted that comment on the "Harriet the Spy" board, and/or you must have confused either film with another completely different film. Also, you need to use clearer wording. Except that "Harriet the Spy" is a good film, looks like you were totally out-of-bounds on that one! *)
shareI really do not know HOW you can compare those two movies. They are VERY different films, completely different genres as well, etc.
But, in all, I did like Harriet better anyway. :)

Fight Club had scenes of guys fighting each other. This is just a boring movie about a girl spying on a bunch of uninteresting people. Then again. I'm not even the target audience for this. This movie and the book are made for girls. When it came out I was more interested in Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.
Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw
This is definitely high in the running for the most random thread I've ever come across.
I'm having a wave of nostalgia right now watching this for the first time in probably 15 years, and while I like it best when a kids movie works as well when you watch it from an adult's perspective as from a kid's I think this one falls into that category. It's very charming and captures the care-free, happy vibe of childhood days hanging out with your friends. That said, if you're not entirely satisfied with either you could pitch to the studio a mashup where a bunch of schoolkids spy on a branch of Fight Club.
