It had potential. Then… yeah.
Echo
I was surprised too! Maybe because his character is so toxic. He brings that same chaotic energy to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and 12 Monkeys.
Andy H.
He did indeed. He told us he got the story at a sex addict support group, and that the majority of the story was directly from the guy it happened to.
Echo
HE wrote Guts?! Well that makes sense.
Deirdre Barthle
Definitely don't read Haunted by Chuck palahniuk
William Watson
One of my favorite. Definitely a must see.
golfextreme
You have to see Se7en with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman! I think it would even qualify for Hallowbeans because of a couple of the jump scares.
Andy H.
Not at our show, but people did leave the auditorium. Understandably. Evidently two people fainted at the reading he had just done in Chicago, so he strongly warned the audience beforehand.
Jon
Did anyone pass out during the reading? That one in particular is notorious for knocking people out during live readings.
Laura Neary Smith
"The Usual Suspects" is a must-see. I also think she'd enjoy "The Game" with Michael Douglas.
david borokovsky
Can we get 12 monkeys in the polls. Another great brad pitt performance
Andy H.
I met the author, Chuck Palahniuk, at a reading for one of his short story compilations. Evidently he used to get a fair amount of writing inspiration from support groups. Specifically, for the story "Guts," which he also read for us live. 😬
Antonio P. Cuneo
Edward Norton was The Hulk in The Incredible Hulk in your MCU watch along.
Terrell Kirkman
Tyler Durden is what happens when positive masculinity becomes toxic. He has some positive goals but his methods and motivation are corrupt.
Chris Crowther
Kind of want to see your reaction to “The Usual Suspects” now.
Jon
"Down with capitalism" is the takeaway I guess? The style definitely detracts from any messages it's trying to make. The book is much better at portraying toxic masculinity in a horrifying way instead of essentially glorifying it. Palahniuk definitely doesn't try to make it seem "cool."
Autumn Bough
I didn’t know if you’d like this one but it is definitely one you need to see. I’m glad you caught the humorous parts and that you overall appreciated it!
Mark Sylvester
She still a big Kitty!
Jack Jones
Wasn't Beans on a diet that was working?
Michael Parker
Truly, IMHO the single most toxic film I've ever seen. I've watched it at this point 5 times (including this time) and I still find ZERO redeeming value in any portion of this film.
Michael Tocci
It was a surprise to them, but yeah, Hubben got relocated AGAIN and he is under contract and drama and stuff but they are crushing it!
Britany Felix
Louis is the standard by which I judge all other vampires. 😍
Britany Felix
Yeah, she said at the very end of this they likely closed on their house in Nashville by the time this video would be going out. So, I'm definitely way behind. lol
Jacob Colson
Kinda surprised she didn't say, "Oh, Brad Pitt could get it."
Jacob Colson
I thought so too. And I think they're moving to Nashville?
Britany Felix
I'm behind, apparently. I thought they were moving to D.C.?
Echo
This is so great! For Brad Pitt movies- oh you're in for a treat. He's easy on the eyes *and* a great actor in a bunch of amazing movies. His first movie was Thelma and Louise... and my 90s teen goth self has a special place in my heart for Interview with the Vampire.
