Yeah, I'm so going there.
Chuck Palahniuk is one twisted individual. Even more disturbing is the fact that he looks and talks like a freaking normal human being. But inside that head is more scary crap than whatever is between the legs of Parisite Hilton.
He wrote Fight Club which of course became a feature film. He's had several other books in talks to become movies. First was his second novel after FC, called Survivor, but shortly after it was in the beginning of things, September 11, 2001 happened and well, the central plotline in the book is a plane crash. At the time, moviemakers were really really staying away from that sort of thing, understandably.
Now, his book Choke is coming out this year. It just might be better than the new Batman flick.
For those of you who are not sick like me and enjoy Chuck's style, here is a synopsis, courtesy of imdb.com: Victor Mancini is a medical-school dropout who has devised an ingenious scam to pay elder care for his Alzheimer's-afflicted mother: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be "saved" by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor's life, go on to send checks to support him. When he's not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park.
Oh yeah I cannot wait. They have Angelica Houston lined up to play Victor's freaked out mother. That is so awesome. I cannot WAIT! According to The Cult, a fansite for us rabid fans of Chuck, the film is to be released August 1st. What a way to end my summer!
