For those looking for the bootleg, I looked for it everyday since it was shown at all the Film Festivals. First off, the theater I watched Choke in had a bar and allowed you to get drunk while watching a film. However I did not participate in this, but I did participate in watching a guy break dance outside before the film.

As for the film it self; it truly was a wonderful adaptation. In all honesty I enjoyed it much more than 'Fight Club,' but then again I enjoyed the book 'Choke' more than the book 'Fight Club.' All the actors portrayed the actors wonderfully, especially Sam Rockwell as Victor, and the chap that played Denny did a wonderful support role. The score lacked a lot, sure their was a Radiohead song at the end, and a few songs here and there, but it feels that the songs were later added by Fox rather than being an original part of the film. The score for 'Fight Club' was amazing and I anticipated 'Choke' to have the same treatment. The cameo by Mr. Palahniuk was awesome. A quick trivia about 'Fight Club:' In every single scene, no matter what, there is a cup of Starbucks coffee (even if it is not visible). If I were to give it a score, easily a 9.5 out of 10. Go see it, pay for those that actually acknowledge Chuck as a great American author, and actually made a decent book to film transition.

*Does the same*

I am doing the same thing.

I'm glad you said the movie was good. I was hoping it was, and it looked really promising. I just read the book a week ago, such a good book and I am ecstatic it is a good movie.

I heard the book was good but then again ever since fight club i have heard about all his books are amazing.
I almost want to say he's over-rated...
But before I'll go checkout the film.
BUT... How do you know there was a cup of starbucks in every scene of fight club when the cup of starbucks isn't visible in every scene?

It's very rare these days to have authors to get people to start reading again. Hey may have a huge fan base, but it's far from being over-rated. Pick up one of his novels, and you too will understand why he is one of the greatest modern authors (I recommend 'Invisible Monsters' or 'Rant').

As for the Starbucks coffee cup thing; I heard it from an interview with David Fincher.

Oh, god yes this movie was everthing I had hope it would be! Smart funny and sexy juust like the book. Greg Clark did an amazing job with the direction of this film, he was able to palahniuk's great message with his books intact, and had the right amont of sex to stay true to the book with out being overwhelming.

I took a friend who was somewhat unsure about seeing it, but after 10 minutes of laughing his ass off he turned to me and said he was already glad he came. I know I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this film, and am so excited to see another of palahniuk's made in to a film.

Guys do independent film making a favor, do not pirate this go see it in theaters.

I also recommend Survivor best book I have ever read.

I'd say he's overrated like HELL on totse, and within our certain demographic. But it could be worse.

I read the book and it was excellent, it was the first book I've read by him so far. I only watched the movie fight club but I'm looking to read that as well. Hopefully this made a decent adaptation.
