Linson shows, for one thing, how hard it is to estimate if a movie will be successful. Putting together the right combination of writers, directors, actors, etc. is an art, and art and business don't mix well, which is why the whole business is enough to drive a nice producer to drink or worse. A book in which we find out that Alec Baldwin doesn't like to shave his beard when worried he's too heavy and Robert De Niro likes to do readings. A fun diversion that sheds some cynical light on Hollywood, revealing just how much it's all about business more than art. Two of my favourite movies are mentioned in here (Fight Club and Heat.) It is disturbing to read how many people lost their jobs as a result of Fight Club. I didn't care so much for the cafe conversations with Jerry that frame the memoir but overall I enjoyed this enough that I might chase down Linson's other book, A Pound of Flesh. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Mukaelmia:What Just Happened [2008 film] (tekijä: Barry Levinson)
Forget everything you've heard about Hollywood. What Just Happened- Bitter Hollywood Tales from the Front Line is the real deal. In Art Linson's true and uproarious tale of what it is to make movies, we get to explore, at close range, finicky directors, clueless executives, shameless marketers, famous actors, battered screenwriters, and hapless producers crossing paths in such calamitous ways that it's a miracle these films get made at all. Whether he's trying to persuade an executive that Gwyneth Paltrow has enough chin to carry the lead in a movie, forcing an enraged Alec Baldwin to shave off his mountain-man beard, discussing ankle hair loss with Dustin Hoffman, or sitting through an excruciating reading of a David Mamet script as Robert DeNiro toys with the notion of heading up the cast, Linson gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood, from script to screen. If you love the movies or not, you won't be able to resist the stories behind them. You also won't be able to resist Linson, a born story-teller whose wicked sense of humour leaves nobody safe - not even himself. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

I have no idea if the book is any good or not and I really couldn't care less. If a book can't hook me in fifty pages it's failed in its contract with the reader and I want my money back! Although in this case, since I only paid $1.50 for it (and free postage) and it is exactly the right size for propping up my porch table, I won't be making any claims. ( )
