Choke; Palahniuk's 2nd novel hitting film

Tonight is the premier of Choke Chuck Palahniuk's second story to hit the big screen in motion. In collaboration with Sundance Channel's 'Meet The Filmmakers' series, here is the ever popular you tube snipit of an interview with Choke director Clark Greg.

Be though as it may, Palahniuk fans everywhere have been awaiting for another taste of novel genius on the moving screen since the debut of Fight Club. The Sundance channel--an independent film channel, promotes Choke, a story about a sex addict who tries to pay off his hospitalized mother's bills by choking at the dinners end in restaurants, premiers tonight January 21st, 2008. Lead role, casted as Victor is Sam Rockwell who is hoped to fit the part and expectation of Chuck's readers. Rockwell, with acting experience since the nineties in previous shows and film productions in Germany, Canada as well as the US is sure to fit Victor's roll. As compared with the previous films inspired by Chuck, Choke promotion is sought to be much lower key, although with its appealing plot line and introverted character sketch Choke is destined to be a visual success. The opening date is the 21st but will be running the remainder of the week until the Sundance Film Festival. For more cast check it out here:

They Strike Again!

Since March of 07, it's been more than apparent that Modest Mouse continues to uphold their musical individuality while remaining true to their origin. With their latest album, we were dead before the ship even sank came another catchy and melodic likeliness as compared to their previous album Good news for people who love bad news. Underground fans who had fallen in audio obsession since their earlier works such as the fruit that ate itself, can define a distinct altercation from their old works, while listening to "Dashboard" being played on the radio several times a day. Collectively, the latest album is a collaboration of best hits--the sort of CD you play without skipping tracks until it plays all the way through. A success hitting mainstream in the most indirect way, with only two tracks hitting the radio airwaves; leaves faithful fans in disarray. Once a MM fan, always a MM fan. This album kicks major rhythmic ass.
