DOWN AND DIRTY PICTURES: MIRAMAX, SUNDANCE, AND THE RISE OF INDEPENDENT FILM by Peter Biskind (writer of EASY RIDERS, RAGING BULLS). Of his first and only meeting with the Weinstein brothers he writes: "I couldn't help noticing the baseball bat in the corner, leaning against the wall. Reading my mind he (Harvey) quickly moved to disarm with the self-deprecating humor that's become his trademark, shouting, 'Matthew, get in here! It's time for your flogging!' Bob, dark and brooding, sat slumped in a chair to the left in front of the desk, playing Caliban to Harvey's Prospero, while I sank into a bottomless black leather couch so low it had me staring up at him, all too aware of the mini-Mussolini-ness of it all. The odor of menace hung in the air like the smell of burning tires. I felt like the guy from one of those bomb-in-the-building pictures, Bruce Willis in DIE HARD, perhaps, careful not to cut the wrong wire, the red one instead of the yellow, for fear of setting them off."

Is that there compendium of films? I saw a film book with Timeout on the sleeve last week at B&N, just wondering?

I hear the compendium is awesome, but no, this is different, it's called 1000 Films to change your life (I looked it up just for you).
