a great look at the man and his cult!
24 March 2004 | by JCL_LDPSee all my reviews

after watching the whole DVD set twice now (and i will watch it and show it to other people many more times) i am left loving nearly all of this very entertaining and informative recap-u-mentary. the filmmakers should pat themselves on the back.

the set serves as a good starting point for those interested in author chuck palahniuk and his cult following, and is a great addition to any fan's collection. if you love palahniuk youre going to love this DVD set! the packaging is beautiful. the menu design is really clean and awesome. i wish i could somehow be living in NY when the filmmakers start work on "our lady of sorrow" and beg them to let me help out.

one thing held the doc down from perfection. i realize why they needed to put a "character" like dr. tropical into this documentary. he is a fan, and no docu can be made about a fanbase by only showing the people who make the subject look his best. that being said, this is a documentary on chuck, his fanS, and the edinboro university conference. way too much time was spent with one character and it wasnt the author. i would have preferred footage of chuck picking his nose, or more info on chuck's backstory. anything. really, anything else. but i lived through it and this is my sole complaint.

This will most likely be one of the best author documentaries ever made. how many authors even have documentaries? I was at both of the Edinboro conferences and the filmmakers did a very good job of recapturing what it was like to be there with the man and with his cult.
