About Choke...
I was not disapointed in the movie at all. It's off-beat, raunchy, twisted, dark and funny. You could use those same adjectives to describe a movie like Super Bad, but it's completely different because Choke feels more like "real life." If you are expecting anything like Fight Club you may be disappointed because Choke couldn't be more different. But why waste time comparing the two movies? I'd guess that the average "100 million dollar blockbuster-style" movie-goer would not like Choke and basically that's because it definitely has that indie flick vibe (low budget, shot in 3 weeks) and a lot of on-screen sex, but if you've read the book you're expecting it. The acting is terrific - from Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Houston to the random old ladies at the mental hospital that I thought were adorable (but I kind of have a soft spot for old people). In a weird way it was kind of a lovable movie and it kept me laughing the whole time (just like the book).

Bill Maher is an idiot.
Just thought I'd say that ; )
I've heard mixed things about Burn After Reading. I think I might have to check it out.

Why am I not surprised you feel that way?
Needless to say...I agree with him quite often, so I guess that means you think I'm an idiot too?
I see how it is B. ;)
Well if you must know what I think about you... : )
I think some of the things he says in regards to politics are right but his views toward religion and religious people are way off and overly simplistic. I was glad to see Andrew Sullivan take him on about that on his show recently.
But anyway...
