Best in Show: The Films of Christopher Guest and Company

Book Description

Best in Show is the first in-depth look at the method behind film director and actor Christopher Guest's madness - and genius. John Kenneth Muir focuses his attention on the acclaimed Guest-directed trilogy of what some call "mockumentaries": Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. In these films Guest has escorted rapt audiences into the purportedly real worlds of a small-town theatrical company, dog show competition, and folk music festival. Muir also details the events that lead to Rob Reiner's influential and legendary This Is Spinal Tap, which Rolling Stone called the best rock and roll movie of all time, and in which Guest played the part of guitarist Nigel Tufnel. Much of Best in Show exemplifies the unique process by which Guest directs films. He employs a common repertory company, improvises scenes often without any rehearsal, and does not use any screenplay with dialogue, instead following a detailed outline often co-authored with his ace actor/writer Eugene Levy. Company members that have been interviewed for this book include Fred Willard, Harry Shearer, Bob Balaban and Michael Hitchcock. Guest's influences - Saturday Night Live, National Lampoon - as well as his more conventional comedies, such as The Big Picture and Almost Heroes, are studied. Best in Show is general enough to bring new fans to the table, yet detailed enough to satisfy the most in-the-know Guest fan and film student. A complete filmography with Guest's directing, acting and writing credits is included, as is the appendix, "You Know You're in a Christopher Guest Film When ..." Guest once commented, "I am drawn to people who have dreams that are slightly out of reach." Now, thanks to John Kenneth Muir, the fascinating world of Christopher Guest and company is substantially more within reach.

Book Description

Both new and old incarnations of the explosive rock band Guns N' Roses are discussed in this compelling biography. Featuring exclusive interviews with key players on their personal and musical histories and supplemental color photographs, this is a comprehensive look at where the band started, the reasons behind their infamous split in 1994, and what the original members are doing now. This fully revised edition contains information on the highly anticipated Summer 2005 release of Chinese Democracy, Axl's first release in 10 years, as well as details of ex–lead guitarist Slash and ex–bass player Duff's hot new band, Velvet Revolver.

The Book That Should Be Forgotten.......2007-01-11

This is possibly the worst book I've ever read. It reads like something a teenager would hand in for English class. There are many spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, duplication of sentences/quotes and places where Mr. Stenning just uses the wrong words. Mr. Stenning seems to think that asking questions is a writing style. Note to Mr. Stenning - That's the reason I'm reading the book, to find out the answers to the questions that you ask. I find it hard to believe that an editor even looked at this. The only solace is that there is some information in it for the hardcore fan, if you can endure the slop that Mr. Stenning passes for writing and sift through the "Axl can do no wrong" theme that pervades this book.

Good thing it was cheap.......2006-06-11

I am a huge fan of Guns n Roses and Velvet Revolver and thought this would make a great read. But right at the beginning I could tell that the author has no writing skills whatsoever. He really needed to fire his editor because there were quite a few mispellings and grammatical errors, but that wasn't the biggest flaw with the book. Most of the information is taken from magazine interviews and the rest seems to be complete hearsay. It would have been nice for the author to actually talk to the bandmembers in length before devoting a whole book to them. I feel that it was unfair, mostly to Slash, Izzy, Steve and Duff.
He made Axl out to be some god, which he is far from being. It was the other guys who had the drug problem, not Axl. YEAH RIGHT!

Either way, the book is poorly written so try to buy it used or borrow someone else's if you really want to read it.

Regurgitated facts; nothing new or original; too many typos!.......2006-06-10

I am a really big GNR fan and I have a large collection of biographies. When I heard about this one, naturally I had to buy a copy. I barely finished a fourth of this book due to the extremely large amount of typos and the fact that there is abosolutely nothing new in this material. I haven't read any other GNR book in at least two years, so I'm not a source of endless GNR trivia, but nearly every "fact" or "anecdote" in this book was something I remembered hearing from another source.

This book is extremely shoddily done; shame on the writer and the publisher! It was put out just to capitalize on the hype around Chinese Democracy (don't even get me started on the mud Axl is dragging the memory of GNR through), and the author/editor/publisher clearly had no concern for producing a high quality product.

Go read Mick Wall's book if you want unauthorized (but probably really true, just not that Axl wanted to hear it) material by an outstanding journalist.

What A Rip-Off.......2006-04-01

I wasn't exactly expecting greatness from this book, but I still could not believe how poorly written and incoherent this thing was. Paul Stenning should get himself to a basic English composition class immediately -- while there have been other reviewers who have mentioned typos, the problems are far worse than that. In paragraph after paragraph there were long, rambling sentences that made no sense and could have been written better by a stoned teenager. Even worse, when the prose does make sense, it's because a huge amount of this "unauthorized" material is blatantly plagiarised word-for-word from articles previously published in magazines like Rolling Stone, Spin, and others, with no credit given to the actual reporters who did the real work of finding such information. I don't think the lawyers who work for such magazines would look on this practice very kindly. Don't waste your money on this garbage; you can find better (and more coherent) information simply by surfing the web for a couple hours. The above rating is one star; that's only because Amazon doesn't allow you to select no stars at all.

guns n' roses the band time forgot.......2006-03-30

The band that time forgot is a bad name for this book. Guns n' Roses is a band that no one has forgotten about. How could you for get the band that had Riots rageing in St louis? How could you forget the band that wrote 'Coma' a song that is about drugs and overdoseing, then go and write 'November rain' which is about Axl's feelings for his girl friend that suddenly died! the answer is no way. this book tells the begining to the end of the guns'era. the mental and phisical abuse of Axl's stepfather in Lafayette IN. the drug problems of the hole band. and making the "perfict" album.
the strugles for axl to be the best was to his oun dismay. To read about this, and being a G'N'R' fan made it so relavent to see why the guns have gone there separet ways.

Book Description

The personal and musical history of Guns N' Roses is detailed in this revealing band biography. Timed to coincide with the highly anticipated release of Chinese Democracy, their first album in 10 years, this compelling account offers complete, updated information on the band's incredible past and current ambitions. New interviews with ex-band members, including lead guitarist Slash and bass player Duff, provide fresh revelations about the band's key players. Previously unpublished color photographs from the group's early days gathered from ex-members' personal collections offer an intriguing visualization of the band's past.

Customer Reviews:

All over the place.......2006-02-21

This book is just what I called it, all over the place. The stories are interesting, but the scattered ideas and errors in the text make me think twice about the accuracy of facts. It was difficult to follow because the writer jumps around timelines a lot. I don't recommend it if you are really just getting into learning about the band, but if you are already a fan and pretty knowledgeable, you might get a little something out of it. Be warned, however, that the lack of chronology and scattered narrative make it a somewhat difficult read.

VERY mediocre in some areas,WAY too many typos,BUT...........2006-01-28

Still worth owning if you are a Guns N' Roses fan.

Here,British journalist Paul Stenning traces the entire career and story of Guns N' Roses--one of the world's most succesful and most influential rock bands. The childhoods of Axl Rose,Slash,Izzy Stradlin,Duff McKagan,and Steven Adler and the musical influences Rose,Slash,Stradlin,McKagan,and Adler have had are both documented here,and there is some really good insight and info into the life of Axl Rose and all of what led to Rose doing some of the decadent and outrageous things that he has done in his life (there is also some "Axl Rose Psychology" in this novel,which reads in both a fascinating and shocking way). Here,you will also get to learn all about the formation of Guns N' Roses,the stuff that went on in GN'R's career and the lives of GN'R band members inside and outside of Guns N' Roses,behind the scenes stories to Guns N' Roses songs,more into what made GN'R so controversial,and there are several other interesting things in this book. While this book is mostly focused around Axl Rose (as well as Slash),some of the stories in this book that have to do with either Steven Adler,Izzy Stradlin,and/or Duff McKagan are completely fascinating (most of this book has recycled information in it,and there is not too much new info to be found here,but there is a lot of really good info in this book),and Paul Stenning also documents the whole story behind "Chinese Democracy" in this novel. I always wanted to learn more about the new line-up of Guns N' Roses,the making of "Chinese Democracy",and more on the songs that have been written for the CD(as well as the CDS' planned sequels)and if you want to know those three things(as well as everything else I mentioned in this paragraph)like I did before purchasing this book,this book has what you are looking for.

However,even though this book is very good in several areas,it is very low in some areas also. The large amount of typos in here(I didn't count them all up,but I was able to tell from reading the whole book that EVERY chapter in this book has more than five typos in it)is annoying and just plain ridiculous(there is even one part of this book where Paul Stenning uses a * but then does not say anything about what it is there for),this book does not tell enough about the post Guns N' Roses careers that Slash,Duff McKagan,Izzy Stradlin,and Steven Adler all had and the making of "Appetite For Destruction",and there is a little bit of a setback to this book. That setback is the fact that Paul Stenning is an OK,but mediocre author,so while this book does have several interesting facts in it,the several interesting facts to be found here are told a little bit poorly. Granted,the list of critiscms for this book that are mentioned above does seem long,but the good things about/in this book are all really good and are good enough for me to give this book a four star rating instead of a three star rating(believe me,I did like this book,but I can see where both the good and reviews of it are coming from).

There are actually two editions of this book available--an original version(the version I am reviewing right here)and a revised version(which you can find right here off of Amazon;it has a white cover).I would definitely say to go for the revised version--unfortunately,it fixes very little(if any)of the typos in this version of it,but it does add a new and good interesting chapter on Velvet Revolver,the new rock band that Duff McKagan,Slash,and Matt Sorum are in with former Stone Temple Pilots lead vocalist Scott Weiland and guitarist Dave Kushner,who has played in several different bands.

Despite it's faults,this is a very good book. If you know very little(or nothing)about Guns N' Roses,this book is worth both reading and owning(if you know a lot of information about GN'R and have read other GN'R books,whether or not you want to own this book is really up to you),but if you already know a lot about Guns N' Roses and knew a lot about GN'R before purchasing this book(which was my situation,although I did find a lot of facts in here about Guns N' Roses that I had not known about before I purchased this book),I still do suggest to not hesitate about buying,reading,and owning this novel,even though it does have some faults.

Chinese Democracy, the album we will never see (big surprise).......2005-09-20

I used to love Guns N' Roses. I doubt they themselves thought that they would turn into such a worldwide phenomena. They were part of a unique niche of metal bands with similar stories where the members all migrated to the West Coast to make it big. They indulged in sex, drugs and rock n' roll, made no bones about the fact that they weren't choir boys. Riots, fast cars and flashy women, and living on the edge were what it was all about. Appetite for Destruction was perhaps one of the greatest metal albums in history with stadium rock anthems. They were one of the monsters of rock.

And then ... it all fell apart. The music climate had changed as Seattle overtook the landscape. Troubles with the law, tensions within, stints in rehab, and a huge mess of bad choices led to their inevitable split. Axl was greedy, others were stupid, and they were all pretty immature to begin with. In this book you won't find out anything you didn't already know (or can gather if you're completly new to the material). Axl owns the Guns N' Roses name, and he pushed eveyone out of the way to get it. The others moved on to other projects, the latest being Velvet Revolver - which is not bad.

DO NOT ACCEPT THINGS IN THIS BOOK AS THE TRUTH. I say that for several reasons. The typos are just ridiculous. I'm not the best speller in the world but they could've at least run a spell check here and there, leading us to believe that they aren't that swift to begin with. They omit a few key players such as Steven Adler. He would have things to say about them no doubt. The man had a stroke he was doing so much cocaine, and what happened? Like a lot of people who hit rock bottem, the people they thought were their friends abandon them. Shows what kind of friends (let alone people) they are.

Do we miss them? Not really. We moved on and absence didn't make the heart grow fonder. We'll never see the promised Chinese Democracy, and after Axl was Botoxed until his face was pulled taught for the few public appearences he made he learned his lesson and won't be coming out of his cave for a while. This is a dramatic story, and looking back I realize they are all far better off that they aren't together anymore. They chose to self destruct without being in a band.

It's okay ..........2005-08-16

If you know nothing about the band then bye it, otherwise most of the content of the book is just recycled information. At times I felt like I was reading the "Here Today, Gone To Hell" website. I could have finished a majority of the stories myself ... kind of like taking a peek at my girlfriend's diary. Any value to be had from the book is really just the consolidation of all the various Guns N' Roses information that's out there. Nothing ground breaking here, just a collection of what's all out on the Internet. I read it once and gave it away.

THE BOOK THAT EVERYONE SHOULD FORGET!!!.......2005-08-08

This book is absolute trash! It contains no new information, everything is just recycled from somthing else, from the likes of rolling stone or MTV. It has no new quotes, true but trashy gossip or anything else AT ALL!!!

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!

The author is somewhat biast aswell, to everything Axl has ever said or done in the past and present.

This book will also bore you to tears!

Book Description

Study evidence, look for clues, and use your powers of deduction to solve more than a dozen dastardly crimes. Following each short story puzzle are five pieces of evidence, including things like witness testimony, autopsy and crime scene reports, background checks, car and house searches, and personal effects, that you can investigate by turning to different pages of the book. Examine them all, or just a few, in order to come to a conclusion.

Perfectly Done.......2007-02-08

"Almost Perfect Crimes" by Hy Conrad is a book of challenging mini-mysteries. It has a unique format for solving the mysteries. The first part of the book is the mini-mysteries themselves, which are usually two pages long. There are questions at the end of the puzzle that the reader is supposed to answer after solving the puzzle. Conrad also tells you how many clues are needed to solve the puzzle. The next section is the Evidence Section, which has clues to help solve the case. Each puzzle will have clues in some, but not all of the Evidence Section. The Evidence Section itself is divided into several parts: Affidavit file; Autopsy Reports; Crime Scene Reports; Lab and Hospital Reports; Miscellaneous Examinations; Miscellaneous Searches; Research; and Wills and Insurance. After the Evidence Section is an "Analysis of Evidence" Section that helps sort out the evidence and gives even more clues. Finally, there is the Solution Section, which answers the questions asked in the puzzles and gives very detailed explanations as to how the crime was committed.

"Almost Perfect Crimes" is one of the best book of mini-mysteries that I've read. The puzzles range from easy ("The Bearded Lady", "The Flighty Freshman" and "Accidents will Happen" to the clever but difficult ("Checking Out", "Swallowing the Gun" and "The Show Girl Murders"). The Clue Section is well done, with the clues to each puzzle nicely scattered. What I liked best about the Clue Section is that it's in alphabetical order by puzzle title. The same is true in the Explanation of Evidence section and Solution section and it's perfect because it's impossible to accidentally see the answer to the next puzzle. It is initially a bit confusing switching back and forth between the sections, but as long as you take note of the title of the puzzle you are trying to solve it works out fine. A few of the puzzles require a stretch of the imagination, namely "Psychic Suicide" and "The Phantom Intruder", but most of the puzzles are well-plotted and well thought out.

Highly recommended.

"Almost Perfect Crimes".......2005-02-07

This collection of mini-mysteries is just superb! They are by no means easy, but are great fun nonetheless. The way the evidence is organized into autopsies, CSI reports etc. makes the reader feel like a real detective. Very good, though kinda short.

Great "solve-them-yourself" mini-mysteries book!.......1996-11-28

For only a few dollars, you can challenge yourself and your friends in solving 15 fiendishly clever whodunits. Great for parties. Note that some of the stories in this book have also appeared in a slightly altered form at "The Case" website. Buyer beware!

With first-chapter allusions to martial arts, "flow," "mind like water," and other concepts borrowed from the East (and usually mangled), you'd almost think this self-helper from David Allen should have been called Zen and the Art of Schedule Maintenance.

Not quite. Yes, Getting Things Done offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-do's clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. However, it still operates from the decidedly Western notion that if we could just get really, really organized, we could turn ourselves into 24/7 productivity machines. (To wit, Allen, whom the New Economy bible Fast Company has dubbed "the personal productivity guru," suggests that instead of meditating on crouching tigers and hidden dragons while you wait for a plane, you should unsheathe that high-tech saber known as the cell phone and attack that list of calls you need to return.)

As whole-life-organizing systems go, Allen's is pretty good, even fun and therapeutic. It starts with the exhortation to take every unaccounted-for scrap of paper in your workstation that you can't junk, The next step is to write down every unaccounted-for gotta-do cramming your head onto its own scrap of paper. Finally, throw the whole stew into a giant "in-basket"

That's where the processing and prioritizing begin; in Allen's system, it get a little convoluted at times, rife as it is with fancy terms, subterms, and sub-subterms for even the simplest concepts. Thank goodness the spine of his system is captured on a straightforward, one-page flowchart that you can pin over your desk and repeatedly consult without having to refer back to the book. That alone is worth the purchase price. Also of value is Allen's ingenious Two-Minute Rule: if there's anything you absolutely must do that you can do right now in two minutes or less, then do it now, thus freeing up your time and mind tenfold over the long term. It's commonsense advice so obvious that most of us completely overlook it, much to our detriment; Allen excels at dispensing such wisdom in this useful, if somewhat belabored, self-improver aimed at everyone from CEOs to soccer moms (who we all know are more organized than most CEOs to start with). --Timothy Murphy

If you have deadlines, you need this book.......2007-10-03

I have an associate who can't meet deadlines. I give him a deadline and set it two weeks before the project is needed. Doesn't matter. He won't make it. So I bought him this book. "No more projects until you read this," I told him.

He read it. He's not missed a project deadline yet.

People who have their own businesses, generally have deadlines and projects. Things have to be done by a certain time. If nothing else, we have to have our income tax in by midnight April 15 in the U.S.

But many people put things off and that creates stress. Stress for the person who procrastinates and stress for those who depend on him or her. We all need a time management system.

This book will help you to clear out your clutter. It will help you to know how to handle a project, to break it up and work at it in a way that's effective for you.

Highly recommended.

Read the full version first, use abridged audio for review.......2007-10-01

While the abridged audio CD version of Getting Things Done makes a perfect refresher tool for those who read the full book originally, too much detail and background is missing for this to be someone's first introduction to the GTD method of time management. Unfortunately, the unabridged audio won't be widely available until 2008.

Overall, the GTD system has a lot to offer. It's "open source" and "platform-independent," meaning you can use as much or as little of it as you want and adapt it to whatever organizational system you already like or are forced to use by circumstance--Outlook, FranklinCovey, 3x5s, whatever. Yes, it pretty much comes down to making a to-do list, but GTD's approach adds the subtle differences that make the lists actually effective reminders and trackers, rather than an overwhelming mess o' stuff to get done. If you've ever written something down on a list and then never looked at it again, give GTD a try.

This book will change your life.......2007-10-01

I first bought this book about 6 months ago, and it has improved my life incredibly. Even if you don't follow every one of his suggestions, or choose not to employ David Allen's GTD system, at the very least you'll gain a much greater understanding of stress-free productivity, effective workplaces, and the bottlenecks that prevent people from achieving their full productive potential.

It certainly took longer to set up my system than the "2 days" Allen continuously mentions in the book, but even while you're setting up and fine-tuning your personal system, you begin to get a sense of that "stress-free productivity". Now, my system is running smoothly, and I've been able to control my numerous projects with greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Most importantly, having a system in place will enable you to focus on your greater goals. I work in two startup companies, but I've always had a dream of being involved in local politics; now I'm also helping coordinate a grassroots political campaign in addition to my 9-5 commitments. You may want to spend more time with your family or significant other, go golfing, start a new business venture or take up a new hobby. This book can give you the system and the structure to allow you to pursue whatever life goals you have, and I consider it an invaluable life resource. I've recommended it to many of my friends and family, and they've experienced similar results.

I love David Allen's teachings!.......2007-09-29

I like this book, but I particulary loved his second book, "Ready for Anything," which I consider a potentially life-changing book. Actually, read both...more than once!

Possibly a life changer.......2007-09-23

Allen's methodology works like magic. I finished reading the book a week ago, and I can say it had a great impact on the way I organize my life. This is much more than how to organize your time, It's about a very subtle technique - along with technology support - that helps you manage your ideas or projects and have them executed with much less effort. You would need a PDA and the Microsoft 0utlook add-in for GTD (Getting Things Done) to experience the full benefit.

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

ASIN: 8495787164

Book Description

Este libro tiene un objetivo claro: demostrar que existe un sistema de organización del trabajo que nos permite liberar la mente de las tensiones que inhiben nuestra creatividad, y que nos hace más eficaces en todos los aspectos de la vida.

David Allen sostiene que nuestra mente tiene una capacidad limitada para almacenar información y propone una serie de fórmulas prácticas para eliminar las tensiones e incrementar nuestra capacidad de trabajo y nuestro rendimiento.

Organízate con eficacia se fundamenta en unas sencillas normas básicas de organización del tiempo, como por ejemplo la necesidad de determinar cuál es el siguiente paso a dar en cada uno de nuestros proyectos, o la regla de los dos minutos (si surge una tarea pendiente y se puede hacer en menos de dos minutos, debe hacerse inmediatamente). El sistema propuesto por Allen soluciona ansiedades y desconciertos, y nos permite transformar nuestro modo de trabajar y la manera de percibir nuestros retos cotidianos.
