here it comes

okay, nerding it up again... this summer is going to be good.

mr chuck palahniuk's new book is out and on it's way to my house. exciting.

the second movie based on one of his books, choke, is hitting theaters on august first. sam rockwell is the lead role, victor mancini. the character is kind of reminiscent of another role he played in "confessions of a dangerous mind," the sex-addicted chuck barris of gong show fame. the obvious difference being that victor is not a real person and, oddly, not as creepy.

the casting all seems pretty good in theory, so we'll see how well they all do once august rolls around.

also coming soon are the new indiana jones, the new batman, an animated star wars movie, a strange will smith venture about a superhero hitting the skids, a new hulk movie, an angelina jolie starred comic-based movie called wanted, hellboy 2, a new x-files movie, mathieu kassovitz is back in the director's chair with babylon a.d. (which is piquing my nerd interest on a lot of levels), and then the video game ventures related to these.

it's gonna be a good summer for sitting indoors. oh the joys of being a dork.
