It's Only a Movie: Reel Life Adventures of a Film Obsessive by Mark Kermode
3.0
As an LTL I had heard most of these stories before, but it was fun to revisit them in this meta way, mixing film-making metaphors with reviews and some light show-biz anecdotes thrown in. Rambly like your favorite boring uncle and self-congratulatory when he tries to be deprecating, but somehow overall this was really kind of a charming read.
Though I will say, if Kermode dined out on his early 90's Ukraine stories for years, I just realized that I have untapped treasure troves of anecdotes to regale soft-bummed Western Europeans with. So what you once spent a few hours in a Lada and took a Russian plane. Pffft.
