everybody comes to hollywood
I'm asking everyone for books or movies about movie making. Can be any period. Mostly I want that sort of behind-the-scenes of a production stuff, preferably Hollywood. Here's my own shortlist, but I'm sure you guys can add to it!
As for the question I asked yesterday in place of this one, a few days ago on fandomsecrets one secret stated "If you're a fan of The Joker and you don't know The Killing Joke I judge you" and I thought, "what does a post-punk band have to do with Batman?" Yes, I looked it up, but still, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who would have had that thought, even on my comics-mad flist.
And if you haven't heard of The Killing Joke, here's their big single, which was played at almost every dance I went to in college. Thanks to imaginarycircus for reminding me!
I'm trying to do this thing where I actually lead off my posts with what the post will be about instead of some discursive yadda yadda; instead I'm going to end with it! I'm not even going to tell you the weirdo network problems I had this morning, but suffice to say that the airport is unplugged and sitting on a counter, I'm running off the ethernet cable, and it's a good thing the roommate is away so that I can be all selfish like that.
- What Makes Sammy Run? by Budd Schulberg

- Living in Oblivion dir. Tom DiCillo
- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang dir. Shane Black (sort of, and should I read the book?)
