This is a wonderfully entertaining compilation, and I'm being a little churlish not giving it the 5 stars. But reading the stories of producer excess and philistinism, one does long for a bit of straightforward, gossip free discussion about the actual films. Also the jaundiced accounts of writers bemoaning the philistinism etc. they have to contend with become a bit repetititve (and I can live without Richard E Grant's bitchy diaries, excerpted twice). Rob Long's piece is refreshing, with its frank admission that by a strange inversion of normal economics, the writer is the most powerful figure in Hollywood.
