![]() ![]() The movie was a dud, and Hirsch chronicles all the big missteps that led to its failure. My favorite chapter was devoted to a movie I've never even seen - the 1994 romcom I LOVE TROUBLE, with Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte. Really, there's just a ton of great information here for writers & storytellers & aspiring filmmakers & anyone interested in movies. ![]() And if you're a John Hughes fan, there are some great stories about FERRIS BUELLER and PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES. I was eager to read this book because I'm a big De Palma fan and I wanted to read the chapters on CARRIE and BLOW OUT and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. He's probably most famous for editing STAR WARS and EMPIRE STRIKES BACK but he's cut dozens of 1980s classics - everything from FOOTLOOSE to STEEL MAGNOLIAS and even CREEPSHOW. Hirsch is a great storyteller and his body of work is incredible. ![]() It's not for everyone but (to paraphrase the cover blurb from Brian De Palma) if you want to learn how the sausage is made, this is the book for you. ![]() 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars ![]()
