Choke

Tusky

The book is written by Chuck Palahniuk, who also wrote Fight Club. I remember the book being less comedic than this looks but Im still really looking forward to it.

Saw that earlier and thought it looked fantastic. Been looking forward to seeing it for awhile, shame there's no release date yet.

Double C

Ha, I'm just reading this book now and I was thinking what it would be like as a movie. Sam Rockwell's a pretty good chioce for Victor. Looking forward to this one!

Edit: Anjelica Huston looks WAY too healthy to play the mother!

Looks excellent, am a big Palahniuk fan so am exceited about this!

Fysh

Excellent stuff; the book was somewhat more lighthearted than Fight Club so I can see why they've shifted to a more overtly comical approach to it but it looks like it should be pretty good. I wonder if

they've kept the bit towards the end with the Ben Wa balls in....

Delirium

Like the Palahniuk books I've read. Choke not being one of them.
Still, can't wait to see it when its released.

Wasnt a fan of Choke TBH.Palahniuk is undoubtadly talented but is also very hit and miss.

Him at his best = invisible monsters(fuggin twisted)fight club and my personal fave Lullaby.

Him at his weakest = Choke,Diary and haunted(some of the shorts were excellent but overall I thought it was a bit of a mess)

Just saw this, Kelly Macdonald was the best thing about this movie. Trailer makes it look 10 times better than it is.

The end is

a weak fight club like twist no one could see coming

6/10 for being entertaining enough to hold my interest and for no reason i can think of it reminded me of garden state

getting bad reviews.

Not The Real Scarecrow

Saw it about a while ago and heard about the bad previews so wasn't expecting much.Its a decent enough movie though, kind of a nice companion to the far superior Fight Club.The wife read the book when it came out and she reckons that its not too far from it.Apparently Victor was supposed to be an older Tyler Durden, with that in mind I found the film interesting enough as it just fleshed out the character moe in my mind.I always rate a film on if I'd watch it again and I have to say I wouldn't look at this again, but it was alright for a one off curiosity viewing.

I thought it was distinctly out and out average... with Kelly McDonald being the best thing about it. She normally wrecks my head, but her performance in this was very very good (for the brief and far between scenes she had).

Rockwell was, as usual lately, extremely under-whelming.

Worth a watch, but it was all a bit bland.

Its out on dvd now

Clark Gregg's directorial debut Choke has been adapted from the Chuck Palahniuk novel of the same name and stars Anjelica Huston, Sam Rockwell, Joel Grey and Brad William Henke.

Choke is a black comedy that follows Victor Mancini (Rockwell), a sex addict who works as a Colonial War re-enactor and runs a con scheme that involves deliberately choking in restaurants and attaching himself parasitically to his rescuers, all to fund his mother's (Huston) care at a private mental hospital.

He is forced to address his intimacy issues when he falls in love with his mother's doctor and discovers that he is unable to perform with the one woman he actually likes.
