thanks, Tommy. I think I'll look for the book.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Am I wrong in seeing a similarity in The Informant! and American Psycho?
Scola, really? Seems like a joke.
American Psycho Broadway Musical Moving Forward
Between this news and all the ads for that horror movie with Timothy Olyphant, I am struck with the mental image of Christian Bale and Jared Leto capering around the stage singing in Crazies!
thanks, Tommy. I think I'll look for the book.
Just so you know, the book is much more disturbing.
I was unaware of Landis's behavior after Vic Morrow's death. Some internet surfing has helped enlighten me. What an asshole. Thanks for the mentioning it, javachik.
You're welcome. I can't recall the name of the book I read about it (it was published within a year of the trial), but he was awful.
I'm finding two
"Outrageous Conduct : Art, Ego, and the Twilight Zone Case" by Stephen Farber and Marc Green
and
"Special Effects : Disaster at Twilight Zone" by Ron LaBrecque
I haven't found details from the trial but I just read an account of how Landis showed up uninvited at Morrow's funeral and gave a horrible rambling eulogy that was pretty much a plug for the movie.
edit: I felt remiss in not mentioning that two children (hired illegally) were also killed in the accident.

Yep, hence my ire.
I read both of those books, I think!
