My Year of Flops: The A.V. Club Presents One Man's Journey Deep Into the Heart of Cinematic Failure by Nathan Rabin

4.0

Seems like this could have been a little too much to read in one go, since they were originally intended to be read one at a time on the AV Club, but Rabin groups them smartly and writes with a different approach for each, so it doesn't get repetitive. It's also interesting to look through somethings considered failures for one reason (with movies, the box office) and re-considering if there's something to take away- he re-rates each a secret success, a failure or fiasco, of which the failure seems to be the worst rating- at least the fiascos are entertainingly confounding and have some sort of takeaway.. Also glad Rabin steers clear of movies like Showgirls, which have clearly found their audience.
