Silver Screen Fiend: Learning About Life from an Addiction to Film by Patton Oswalt

Silver Screen Fiend: Learning About Life from an Addiction to FilmSo I think I'm going to try something slightly different with the entries for this blog.... I'm going to keep myself to a five minute time limit for the first draft and then maybe three minutes to clean it up and add a picture. When I first started the blog I could spend almost an hour on an entry and eventually I took less and less time... And it isn't like anyone is really even reading this, I'm just finding it a useful tool to keep track of the books I've read and what I briefly thought of them at the time. So, that now leaves me with two minutes on the clock to say something about Silver Screen Fiend.... I thought it was okay. I wanted to read it because the author talks about how he became addicted to seeing movies at the New Beverly Cinema... which is a pretty cool place to see movies. His stories were funny but the book also had a lot about his early career as a comedian which really wasn't all that interesting and I'd have liked more thoughts about the movies themselves. Anyway, time's up, I'll give it a B-.
