Haunted

As long as Palahniuk is selling his stories to Hollywood, might I offer a bit of casting advice? If "Haunted" is ever "pitched" to the Big-Wigs, please hire Iggy Pop to portray Saint Gut-Free. I can imagine no one else.
Good call on Mr. Rockwell in "Choke" the movie.

I read the book awhile ago and always wondered who the narrator was. ANy ideas? My guess would be the character with the notepad or the voice recorder. Although i doubt it because he refers to himself in the 3rd person which doesnt fit. Plus he got the least amount of discussion and reference to. I was just wondering...thanks

In her story, she had the "Keegan virus", which was contagious, which was the reason she was put into the hospital on the island..

Great story, but the ending was kinda wierd. Did he kill that girl to keep her from going to the FBI? That last line - "But I really need to make a phone call first." Was he setting up a hit or something? That's what it seemed like to me.

 The box:

you know how the box makes you look in at an angle?

and how the left eye goes to the right side of the brain?

and the right side is the creative/more susceptible to abstract ideas?

What if the box shows a quick film that rapidly changes your view on life?

It would be more effective since you would know the Box superstition and the Right brain would receive it.

Remember the "false" story the old guy wrote (forgot the name)?

something about how we all live on Venus if we have suffered enough?

suppose that is what was shown in the box.

people who think they suffered enough would just go and kill themselves

and if the don't think they suffered enough, they would suffer until they die to get to "heaven".

Pretty sure that is what happens (the suffer and the suicide) in the book, but if you can show an example i would enjoy it very much.

What would you say your favorites are?

I'd say ("Guts" aside)  that I really enjoyed the Exodus story by Director Denial, and I also got really interested in the Mrs. Clark stories about Cassandra.

Do anyone know the "theme" in guts, or If it is nothing more than just about sexual instincts gone wrong and the struggle to survive? I am asking this because I’m going to illustrate the short story but kinda need the entire spectre of the story. I need something more than just the grotesque, disturbing imagery, because its kinda already there in the text.

anyone know a link or anything it would be great.

I'm about 50 pages in and so far, I'm not very thrilled. I don't care much about the characters or the house they're in. The poems are kind of stupid. What is this "_____ on the stage" stuff? Is there a stage in the house? So far the only thing keepi

Edit: Found it. Going in the quotes thread.
