The Grip Of Film Av Richard Ayoade

<p><b>You SLUG the guy.</b><br><b>You KISS the dame. </b><br><b>You TOTAL the car.</b><br><br><b>That''s movies. And I love ''em.</b><br><br>Gordy LaSure’s passionate about film. He eats film, he drinks film, and sometimes he’ll even <i>watch </i>a film. But most of all he loves talking about film, and how they’d be a shit-ton better if only people would pull their asses out of their ears and listen to Gordy LaSure.<br><br>The voyage of this book can be categorised as an attempt to understand How In Hell Film Works. Why are some films bad, and some films terrible<i>? </i>How come just a handful of films (<i>Titanic, Porky’s, Dirty Harry</i>) are any good at all? Gordy’ll tell you How and Why, and he’ll give you a shot of Wherefore on the side. And he doesn’t shoot from the hip; he shoots from the gut.</p>
