INTERVIEW: John Waters Interview
Decades Of Depravity
Interview by Becky Fritter
For decades, filmmaker John Waters has lovingly made films that make us cringe, raise an eyebrow or two and kind of throw up a little in our mouths. From sketchy bestiality scenes to characters who love to kill, he has notoriously sculpted a world where disgust is something to smile about and the underdog always wins. When it’s up to John, the chubby girl snatches the studly male dancer from the snobbish blonde bitch (Hairspray), a schoolgirl will show the world what happens when you don’t get cha-cha heels (Female Trouble), and there’s nothing wrong with selling heroin in schools and selling babies to gay couples (Pink Flamingos). read more »

SNUFF Promo: Latest Cassie Wright Trailer For 'The Twilight Bone'
With 'Snuff' out in stores now, and the story of Cassie Wright's legendary career 'climax' ready to explode all over the world... yet another trailer for one of her old movies has surfaced on the net!
This time around, it's for futuristic, alien spoof 'The Twilight Bone'!
SNUFF Is Now Out! Buy It Today!
Today is the big day! Chuck Palahniuk's latest novel 'SNUFF' is now out! Head out to your nearest bookstore today as soon as you can to purchase a copy! Buying 'Snuff' the first week of its release is the only way to boost its numbers and propel it iinto the New York Times Best Seller List.
If you prefer to buy it through Amazon, you'll help its sales rank there as well! 'Snuff' currently sits at #52! It was at #67 this morning! Let's get it even higher today, people!
I'm also aware of the amount of reviews that have begun pouring in, so you have one you want to put on our radar, email me at Dennis@chuckpalahniuk.net with 'Snuff review' in the subject header.
Also, don't forget that our Snuff Tour Tshirts are now available! read more »
SNUFF Tour Tshirts Are Here!
SNUFF Tour Tshirts Are Here! and boy do they rock. These are easily my favorite shirts we've ever made. We made similar shirts last year for "Rant", and people gobbled them up and wore them to the live readings Chuck did. Unfortunatley, this year we got stalled, and so the shirts won't be here until Monday, May 19th. They will then begin shipping Tues and Wed (May 20th, 21st). Mirka has already taken off both of those days. The problem is, Chuck's actual Snuff tour begins on the 20th. So people attending the first few dates will probably miss out on having one of these shirts to wear.
SNUFF Tour: NYC Barnes & Noble Reading Canceled
Update: Hey folks. I spoke to Chuck this weekend and he assured me that he's already trying to reschedule an event for the New York fans. He said this would probably occur towards the end of the summer / beginning of the Fall (to coincide with the new release date of 'Choke').
I have some very unfortunate news. The New York City Banes & Noble reading for Snuff has been canceled. Here's the official word from his publishers:
Doubleday has unfortunately canceled the SNUFF New York event due to a conflict that has arisen. We apologize to the New York fans and hope to bring Chuck back to the Big Apple again soon.
This cancellation was out of Chuck's control and he feels terrible about it. I don't have any more information on why. I just wanted to get the news up for you all asap.
Again, sorry to the New York fans.
Release Date Of CHOKE Movie Pushed To September
I actually think this is good news. Choke will have a much better run and gain more exposure and word of mouth if it's not jampacked into the middle of one of the craziest tentpole movie blockbuster summers in recent history. With that, here is the lovely Samantha Bond, from the publicity department of Fox 2000:
Hi Dennis-
JUST found out that the film is officially moving from August 1st to September 26th for its theatrical release. That date is official and ok to put on your site let fans know.
Oh, and you had asked about festival screenings. The following have been confirmed for CHOKE:
Los Angeles Film Festival: June 23rd and June 25th
CineVegas Film Festival, Las Vegas, NV: June 20th
Sundance @ BAM, Brooklyn, NY: screening on June 5th and June 7th, Q&A with Clark Gregg
Seattle Int'l Film Festival: June 5th and June 7th
