What Just Happened?

Bitter Hollywood Tales from the Front Line

By: Art Linson

This film producer’s honest, hilarious behind-the-scenes memoir “details the planning, handholding and power games involved in making movies” (Publishers Weekly). Art Linson has had a hand in producing some of the most unforgettable films of the past half-century—Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Untouchables, Fight Club—and has worked with some of America’s finest actors and directors. In what the Los Angeles Times calls “a breezy anatomy of ritual humiliation,” his memoir gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood. “Art Linson puts a film freak exactly where he or she wants to be: in the Fox screening room during the studio brass’s horrified first look at Fight Club...Linson gives readers a glimpse into a bizarre world where ‘It’s good’ is the absolute worst thing you can say about a movie.” —Entertainment Weekly “A hoot.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer Includes a new interview of Art Linson by Peter Biskind and the screenplay of the film version

A Pound of Flesh

Perilous Tales of How to Produce Movies in Hollywood

By: Art Linson

Have you ever wondered what a Hollywood movie producer actually does? In A Pound of Flesh, producer Art Linson takes us behind closed doors on a rare backstage tour through America's cruelest, most glamorous industry. Here at last is a dishy and informative guide to the entire moviemaking process--from acquiring scripts to negotiating with studio executives to shmoozing with agents and actors to facing the horror of opening night. With amusing stories about his encounters with such players as David Mamet, Robert De Niro, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Brian DePalma, Linson offers keen insights into why some movies take the world by storm and others end up gathering dust on some forgotten studio shelf. This is essential reading for film students, movie lovers, and anyone interested in the drama of Tinseltown.

In Pursuit of Beauty

Americans and the Aesthetic Movement

By: Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)

This project is the first comprehensive study of a phenomenon that not only dominated the American arts of the 1870s and 1880s, but also helped set the course of such later developments in the United States as the Arts and Crafts movement, the indigenous interpretation of Art Nouveau, and even the rise of modernism. In fact, the early history of the Metropolitan--its founding, its sponsorship of a school of industrial design, and its display of decorative works--is inextricably tied to the Aesthetic movement and its educational goals. "In Pursuit of Beauty: Americans and the Aesthetic Movement" comprised some 175 objects including furniture, metalwork, stained glass, ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, painting, and sculpture. Some of these had rarely been displayed; others, although familiar, were being shown in new and even startling contexts. The exhibition and catalogue are arranged thematically to illustrate both the major styles of a visually rich movement and the ideas that generated its diversity"--From publisher's description.
