"Quite possibly the best book on film I have ever read... Buy it, read it, laugh out loud and rediscover your love of Seagal."
Product Description
Vern, the self-styled 'outlaw film critic', is known to millions for his hilarious reviews on the "Ain't It Cool News" website, and is described by "Hellboy" director Guillermo Del Toro as "equal parts Hell's Angels and Pauline Kael...a national treasure!"Now Vern unleashes his magnum opus: an in-depth study of the world's only aikido instructor turned movie star, director, writer, blues guitarist, and energy drink inventor - the ass-kicking auteur Steven Seagal. From "Above the Law" to his guest appearance on Channel 4's "Friday Night Project", his entire career is covered in Vern's inimitable style.As Vern himself puts it, "Seagalogy" is "a book that will shake the very foundations of film criticism, break their wrists and then throw them through a window."
About the Author
As a frequent writer for Ain't It Cool News, Vern has gained notoriety for his unorthodox reviewing style and his expertise in "the films of Badass Cinema." His review of the slasher movie CHAOS earned him a wrestling challenge from its director; his explosive essay on the PG-13 rating of LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD prompted Bruce Willis himself to walk barefoot across the broken glass of movie nerd message boards to respond. Guillermo Del Toro, the director of PAN'S LABYRINTH, called Vern "a national treasure."
