Product 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. ... Read more

Interesting insight, but reads like a long editorial.
This book has some great stories from the cast and details about deleted scenes that are not on the DVD of the films, but contains a lot of filler.

For fans of Christopher Guest himself, you get a very detailed history of his performing career, although Guest himself was not interviewed for the book, he speaks through quotes from magazine interviews.

And that is how the book reads, like a long magazine article.For much of the book the author just recaps the major plot points of Waiting for Guffman, Best In Show and A Mighty Wind.

The main opinions/anecdotes of the films come primarily from: Harry Shearer (a lot of Harry Shearer), Bob Balaban, Fred Willard, Deb Theaker, Michael Hitchcock and surprisingly June Chadwick (Jeanine from Spinal Tap) who has yet to be in an actual Christopher Guest film, but is oft quoted concerning improv acting.

The most entertaining moments of the book come from the explanations of bits that were cut from the films, especially from Fred Willard who seems very disappointed that many of his bits went unused.

An OK read that's not expensive, not a long book so it's good for and afternoon read.Worth the money, if you are a Guest completist. ... Read more

An Interesting Collection of NEW YORKER Type Humor
This collection of Harry Bliss cartoons ranges from truly funny laugh out humor to nod your head in agreement insightful moments to irony to occasionally just outright weird and in a few cases even ones that actually are too dark for me or in some other way repellant to my sensibilities. The illustrations are first rate, but the humor was of a very uneven quality relative to my tastes, which is why I only rated it four stars. I would rate the individual cartoons from 5+ stars (a few rate among my all time favorites) to 1 star, so it was hard to rate the collection as a whole.

Among his work, Bliss has been a cover illustrator for the NEW YORKER magazine; in my opinion, the phrase "New Yorker type cartoons" completely captures the nature of the humor imparted by this collection. The title is a double entendre, since many of the cartoons feature a figure obviously meant to be the grim reaper; I thought these were among the most clever in the collection. (In this regard, notice the front cover illustration of the title.) Several also prominently figure animals, generally dogs. What they all share is a unique commentary on some aspect of the human condition.

I absolutely loved the recommendation blurb, an illustration penned on the back cover and many of the others were first rate.The book only includes 122 cartoons, all consisting of simply a single panel; it was very enjoyable and I marked my favorites so that I could enjoy them again on occasion. However, given what I viewed as the uneven quality or the twisted or melancholic or perhaps more accurately bittersweet nature of many of the cartoons,there are many cartoon books which I feel provide better value or are more suited to my taste. If you are a fan of the New Yorker or like bizarre, twisted and outlandish comedy, or don't mind sorting through the chaff to find the wheat, then you might enjoy this even more than I did. On the other hand, if SNOOPY, MARMADUKE and CALVIN AND HOBBES (maybe my favorite) are your idea of cartoon humor, this might only rise to a two or three star experience for you.

this is great
Aside from the fact that I love all Harry Bliss cartoons, this is a great collection!I call it a collection of cartoons about death and psychotherapy and sometimes both.Great gift idea!

Genius!
Bliss has his finger (and pen) on the pulse of sardonic wit. I have seen the future of gag cartoons and it's Harry Bliss. ... Read more

Product Description
Traditionally, Christopher Smart has been represented as a mystical and eccentric poet, a colorful visionary of only peripheral importance to our understanding of eighteenth-century literature.This study challenges that view, offering a reassessment of Smart's work and examining the age in which he wrote and his place in it.Guest reappraises his religious poetry in the context of theories of language and natural philosophy, as well as in the context of a vast range of writing--from private devotions and sermons, to hymns and biblical criticism--demonstrating the pervasive and complex significance of religion in the period. ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Peter Edward Cook (17 November 1937 9 January 1995) was a British satirist, writer and comedian. An extremely influential figure within British comedy, he is widely regarded as the leading light of the British satire boom of the 1960s. He has been described by Stephen Fry as 'the funniest man who ever drew breath'. Cook is very closely associated with the anti-establishment style of comedy that first emerged in Britain and the USA in the late 1950s. Cook was born at "Shearbridge", Middle Warberry Road, Torquay, Devon, the only son and eldest of the three children of Alexander Edward (Alec) Cook (1906-1984), a colonial civil servant, and his wife Ethel Catherine Margaret, née Mayo (1908-1994). He was educated at Radley College and later Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he read French and German. Cook meant to become a career diplomat, but unfortunately Britain "had run out of colonies", as he put it. Although largely politically apathetic for most of his life, he did join Cambridge University Liberal Club. It was at Pembroke that he performed and wrote comedy sketches as a member of the prestigious Cambridge Footlights Club, of which he became President in 1960. While still at university, Cook wrote professionally for Kenneth Williams, for whom he created a successful West End revue show called One Over the Eight, before finding prominence in his own right as part of a four man group performing a ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=23547 ...

CHRISTOPHER BUCKLOW -is a- GENIUS IN THE ARTS.
Christopher Bucklow has done what thousands of young and mature artists hope to do in a lifetime: create something new that has never been seen before. He has done it useing pinhole images of sun light and video / hand formed images, creating dream bodies of light. These are not real people but images from his dreams and imagination, not bad! I would not hesitate to say this type of art that will remain with us for some time, while much of the instillations and abstract works that permiate galleries across the globe will become mere memories, if remembered at all.
