choke.

choke comes out friday. big chuck pahlanuik fan. i have the book and had started to read it, but life sucked me in and i forgot to finish reading..i still want to get back to that book which i swear if i started now would probably be finished in a day or two. it sounded hilarious from the few pages i had read.

i love satire, social commentary, making fun of society and its flaws, dark humor and sarcasm. his writing is definitely all of that. i think choke is going to be a bit like a film i loved and wrote a review on back in 2005- which was john water's a dirty shame.

that said the soundtrack to choke sounds superb. i want to buy it for sure.

check out recently released trailer, u have to register for this one as its R rated and has suggestive sexual scenes, and nudity. choke is a dark comedy, satire about sex addicts. looks real quirky.
my fiance knows i want to see it and showed me the local paper regarding that it comes out fri. i smiled and said i knew.
the review is not too good as it got a poor rating but he said it might be worth seeing and maybe i am wistfully hoping the same, although the bad reviews are piling up as we speak... just saw another online-- that sucks and is a disappointment!

its supposedly be pretty sexual, raunchy, and controversial but NOT in a titillating way accdg to more than one review. i imagined it to be an artsy film and hope maybe the bad reviews might be proved wrong altho i am hesitant, somex the reviews that scream BOMB are utterly true.
it's a shame that the reviews aren't pointing towards success. i've already read an article that emphasizes it's not anywhere near as clever as Fight Club was and i found that a pretty amazing film with a lot of underlying meaning. it is an analytical personality's dream come true. lol
i don't know if we will go to see it this weekend as i am still struggling to feel better- even just in time for my niece's bday. but, if we don't go out and check out the film during the first week of opening - it is highly doubtful it will last very long in theaters. i will probably just settle for waiting til we can rent it via netflix.
if you've not seen the trailer by now and are interested, go here :)
