The Grip of Film

"A work of shimmering, glimmering genius" - Stephen Fry

Gordy LaSureâ€™s passionate about film. He eats film, he drinks film, and sometimes heâ€™ll even watch a film. But most of all he loves talking to people about film: whether a comely student with low confidence and a father complex, a Studio "development' exec who doesnâ€™t trust his own judgement, or the countless people Gordy LaSureâ€™s encountered in his capacity as the web moderator on an Excessive Sweating Discussion Forum. Gordy LaSureâ€™s alwaystalking about films and how theyâ€™d be a shit ton better if only people would pull their asses out of their ears and listen to Gordy LaSure.

The voyage of this book can be categorized as an attempt to understand How In Hell Film Works. Why are some films bad, and some films terrible?How come just a handful of films (Titanic, Porkyâ€™s, Dirty Harry) areany good at all? Gordyâ€™ll tell you How and Why, and heâ€™ll give you a slug of Wherefore on the side. And he doesnâ€™t shoot from the hip; he shoots from the gut.
