Anyone going to see it? I read the book this summer and it was great. That's saying a lot considering I've only read 3 books in my adult life.

Excellent book. Chuck is one of my favorite modern authors, if not favorite, reading snuff now and it's insane.
This is my favorite of his books probably and I can't wait to see it. I hope it does as well as Fight Club.
Gonna see this and burn after reading saturday with a friend :)

I will probably reread the book while I wait for it to come to the dollar theater.

Just saw it, and I really liked it.
I never read the book, so I can't say how faithful the adaptation is.
But it's a nice little movie. It's fucked up but it's got a nice heart in it.

Yeah good flick. It's a pretty straightforward adaptation. I wish Denny and Cherry's relationship had a little more screen time.

I enjoyed this movie a great deal. Kinda was poorly directed I thought but the story made up for it. Haven't read the book though.

Invisible Monster would be an interesting flick. I really want Survivor and Lullaby, though.

Lullaby was ok.... not in my top three Chuck P novels though.

Rank the Chuck Palahnuik books!
1) Invisible Monsters
2) Survivor
3) Choke
4) Fight Club
5) Haunted
6) Diary
7) Lullaby
8) Rant
9) Stranger Than Fiction
I have not read Snuff yet and I am not counting Fugitives and Refugees. I think your order has something to do with what order you read them in because I feel like his writing has stayed consistent.

Of the ones I have read, I'd go:
1) Survivor
2) Invisible Monsters
3) Fight Club
4) Lullaby
5) Choke
6) Snuff
7) Diary

I am not counting Haunted, because there is no way to adapt that into a flim and give all the stories proper time. Plus, the overall story was just a way to tie all his short stories together.
Survivor
Invisible Monsters
Diary
Fight Club
Choke
Lullaby
Rant
Snuff
In that order.
However, based on the books, I doubt any will adapt to the screen as well as Fight Club. That movie was amazing. I think it will be hard to live up to that.

Althoug Lullaby starring Dennis Leary could be a super fun movie if done right.

I haven't read any of the books but one reason why I think Fight Club was so great is because it was amazing visually. The direction was incredible. I think Choke had a really good story but the director was fucking terrible, it really made me angry. It was so boring visually. I just keep thinking about how much better it could have been.

No thread.
I liked it. I think I'll give it an 8/10. They did the book justice. It wasn't INCREDIBLE or anything like the book though.
Thoughts?
