Per usual most of his characters
are completely degenerate but since this was the porn industry he was allowed to
take the reader even deeper, which is scary when you consider the depths Palahniuk
routinely explores in his books. This
was a great read as you watch the seemingly good characters dissolve in front
of your eyes as we learn more and more about them. This being Palahniuk, the term “good” is
highly relativistic since they’re all part of a fading porn goddess’ attempt to
set a fornication record by having sex with 600 men in a single day – like I
said – Palahniuk!
Chuck takes no prisoners as
he completely skewers the porn industry as well as America
Since you always feel a
little tainted leaving Chuck’s very bizarre world I was lucky last night with
date night. My wife and I went to see 2
Guns, starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. On the surface that sounds like a mismatch
but Wahlberg is evolving into a very good actor and more than held his own with
Denzel. They play two undercover agents
trying to survive after being double-crossed by everybody from a Mexican drug
cartel to the US
This was a very good, very
funny movie as the two actors chewed up the scenery. It’s a great example of a fairly mundane plot
that’s elevated by the actors involved and included some very well staged
action scenes.
We returned home to find the
Red Sox once again losing to the worst team in the major leagues, 7-3. In other years this would signal another one
of those ghastly road trips where the team just lays down for a series of games
against sub-standard competition.
Luckily this was not like other years as the Sox came roaring back and
thoroughly pummeled the lowly Astros 15-10.
I think Farrell might want to rethink his plans on resting his regular starters.
