I was trying to think of who the rig...Fair enough. I was trying to think of who the right audience was. I think I'm right about the Palahniuk fans who just wish he had a bit more humanity. I was also thinking of people who have a similar sense of humor--e.g., people who've been told they'd like Palahniuk's work but haven't read anything yet. It'd be a way to ease them in, but they could then be shocked when they read his novels and saw all the nihilism. So maybe it's not a good introduction. But still it was fun.puppymeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861361925649066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733870058840414356.post-43929578643332208572008-09-28T16:45:00.000-07:002008-09-28T16:45:00.000-07:00I agree with you 99%. I only disagree that people...I agree with you 99%. I only disagree that people should watch the movie as an introduction to Palahniuk. I was also very surprised at the humanity of the movie, though I thought it worked well. And I was pleased at how well they did follow the book. As far as book adaptations go, this was pretty good. But people may be surprised at the difference in tone if they see "Choke" before reading his other works, I think "Fight Club" does a better job of portraying his style. I do love Palahniuk though and also enjoyed myself during the movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
