I'm interested in any book in any form that explores one's relationship to film (see: love for Philip Lopate, Jonathan Rosenbaum, James Naremore, etc.). This memoir was just okay (many funny parts though), but I enjoyed it quite a bit and here, he says exactly how I've come to feel... Movies aren't, actually, EVERYTHING. “Movies–the truly great ones (and sometimes the truly bad)–should be a drop in the overall fuel formula for your life. A fuel that should include sex and love and food and movement and friendships and your own work. All of it, feeding the engine. But the engine of your should be be your life.”
