[Hoax]

Everyone should watch this, just got it on NetFlix it was really fucking strange.  I want there to be a f13 thread about this movie, plz.

[Engels]

ok, I put it in the queu. hopefully my gf won't choke on it.

I'm sitting here and watching this, all the while trying to figure out who the main actress is.

It's Diane from Trainspotting.  How very fitting.

...

What a great movie.  An instant classic.

Good movie, reminded me of all the pieces of the book I've forgotten since I read it a few years ago.

The book goes a bit more in depth, but overall the movie does it justice. Wacky.

This movie is very meh though it gives you the feeling that the book is fantastic

I really didn't care for the book (despite being a huge fan of Chuck P's work); haven't seen the movie. Might rent it just to see how they compare.

If you've ever read Schindler's List and seen the movie, it's a pretty good comparison for how faithful the translation is.

How could you not like the book?  It gets around his most annoying trait: He feels compelled to shove in retarded twist endings, M. Night Shymalan-style.  The big twist to Choke is that there is no twist!  Compare and contrast this with his other novels where the ending is that the protagonist is the beneficiary of a multi-generational life insurance scam, is a time traveler whose method of time travel is actually more retarded than Donnie Darko's mumbling about copper and water, or traveling around the country having sex with a police officer destroying nursery rhymes in order to save the world.

To be honest it's been a while, but iirc the ending rubbed me the wrong way.
