Archetypes in 'Fight Club'

This fascinating essay by an unsigned author suggests that the characters in the film 'Fight Club' are actually avatars of the characters from the comic strip 'Calvin and Hobbes' twenty-five years later. There's lots more at metaphilm.com too, including an examination of sexual archetypes in "Spider-Man." Wow, this is the kind of stuff I would have written if I were still a film critic!
