Chuck Chats About Choke
Like the majority of you, I'm excited about seeing Sam Rockwell and Angelica Huston in Choke, and the wait is now over as the film is released nationwide today. Having read the book for October's PopUK Book Club, I'm intrigued to see how the film compares to Chuck Palahniuk's fantastic novel.
Choke follows Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell), a sex addicted Colonial village re-enactor who pretends to choke in restaurants to help pay for his mother's medical bills.
PopUK Book Club: The End of Choke
Welcome back, members of the PopUK Book Club. We've discussed the first section and the second part of Choke, so now it's time to talk about the final section and the ending.
Here's a reminder of how the PopUK Book Club works: each week I'll suggest chapters to complete by the next post (each Monday).
PopUK Book Club: Choke, Section Two
Welcome back, members of the PopUK Book Club! Last week we discussed the first part, so now it's time to talk about the middle section of Choke. Feel free to read ahead, but please don't reveal any spoilers in the comments.
PopUK Book Club: Choke, Section One
Welcome back, members of the PopUK Book Club. At the beginning of the month I announced the title of our October Book Club: Chuck Palahniuk's Choke.
We've had some time to get a copy and read to the end of Chapter 16, so now it's time to discuss!

First Glance: Choke – Love It Or Leave It?
Here's your first glance at Sam Rockwell playing Victor and Anjelica Huston co-starring as his mother in Choke – an adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel – a movie that won a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
Lovely British actress Kelly Macdonald also appears in the movie, and I think it looks pretty intriguing, although I'm not sure any Palahniuk adaptation will beat the wonders of Fight Club for me.
Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you think, it's rather NSFW, so if you're at work you might want to postpone your view and vote until you get home.
Movie Preview: Choke
Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character. Oh, and funny, of course. Also, just like Fight Club, there are group therapy scenes as this character is a bit of a sex addict.
