Adventures in the Screen Trade: A Personal View of Hollywood and Screenwriting by William Goldman

3.0

Pretty weird to read this in 2020 what with the depressing state of the movie industry right now. Goldman is, kind of an asshole? I enjoyed the second half of the book more, but it was extremely annoying to go through 50 pages of him talking down about movies like Blade Runner and Jaws and movies that are """"superhero movies""""".

I'm tired of white men in film not letting people enjoy things!!! And that goes for you too, Goldman!!!
