Chuck Palahniuk on the big screen again
A few years ago, I read the book Choke by Chuck Palahniuk - and while it was a fairly messed up book, I was pretty happy when I saw a poster on Queen street advertising it’s movie version. As soon as I got home, I searched for the trailer:
I’m not really sure how great this movie is going to be. I think David Fincher did such a great job on Fight Club that this might just fall short. The trailer seems to portray the main character as a more comedic person - when I really got the sense that he was a lot darker in the book. I’m afraid that the director, Clark Gregg, will miss that important tone that went throughout the book and make this some movie I’m going to skip over at Blockbuster. That would be a damn shame because I think Palahniuk is brilliant (though pretty effed up - his novels are usually very dark and he had a pretty dark past - his father was murdered and burned).
Regardless, I may go see this in theatres. Maybe. Probably.
In other, completely unrelated news, I bought a pair of Michael Kors pumps and I can’t stop wearing them around the apartment. Whatevaaaah, they’re gawgeous.
