Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. I have this book in hardcover, ebook and audiobook. The audiobook is narrated by Bruce Campbell himself. The book itself is a good read; it's ridiculously funny. What makes the book better is hearing it read by Bruce Campbell. He is a laugh-riot! Anyone who is a fan of Bruce Campbell should check this book out in all forms! I had no idea what this book was about, I just saw Bruce Campbell and had to have it. Turns out this is a fictional story about him getting a shot at an A-List movie starring Richard Gere and Rene Zellwegger, and how he slowly infects it with B-Movie components and thereby completely ruins it. Pretty funny, in a slapstick, over-the-top, absurd sort of way - but if you want to find out more about Bruce Campbell read “If Chins Could Kill”. I thought this was another autobiography. It's not. Campbell takes an element of his real life, then twists it into a funny fantasy. I should say 'warps', not just 'twists'. It is funny, if you like his sort of humor & can get into it for an entire book. I found my sense of humor tripping out well before the end, unfortunately. Still, it was fun. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
What you're reading right now is known as the "flap copy." This is where the 72,444 words of my latest book,Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way, are cooked down to fit in a 3 ½-by-9 ½-inch column. But how does one do that with a fictional story about a B movie actor's disastrous attempt to finally star in a big-budget Hollywood movie? Do you tantalize readers with snappy zingers like the one in chapter six where Biff the Wonder Boy says, "You may be bred in ol' Kentucky, but you're only a crumb up here"? Or do you reveal pivotal plot points like the one at the end of the book where the little girl on crutches points an accusing finger and shouts, "The killer is Mr. Potter!" I have too much respect for you as an attention-deficient consumer to attempt such an obvious ruse. But let's not play games here. You've already picked up the book, so you either: A. Know who I am B. Like the cool smoking jacket I'm wearing on the cover C. Have just discovered that the bookstore restroom is out of toilet paper Is this a relationship book? Well, if by "relationship book" you mean that the characters in it have relationships or are related to someone, then yes, absolutely. Will you learn how to pick up chicks? Good heavens, I can only hope so, though for best results in that department you should both read this book and be Brad Pitt. Is it a sequel to my autobiography,If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor? Sadly, no, which made it much harder to write. According to my publisher, I haven't "done" enough since 2001 to warrant another memoir. Is it an "autobiographical novel"? Yes. I'm the lead character in the story and I'm a real person and everything in the book actually happened, except for all the stuff that didn't. Mostly, the action revolves around my preparations for a pivotal role in director Mike Nichols's A-list relationship filmLet's Make Love!, starring Richard Gere, Renée Zellweger, and Christopher Plummer. This is the kind of break most actors can only dream of. But my Homeric attempt to break through the glass ceiling of B-grade genre fare is hampered by a vengeful studio executive and a production that becomes infected by something called the "B movie virus," symptoms of which include excessive use of cheesy special effects, slapstick, and projectile vomiting. When someone fingersme as the guy responsible for the virus, thus ruining my good standing in the entertainment industry (hey, I said it was fiction, okay?), I become a fugitive racing against the clock, an innocent patsy battling the shadowy forces of the studio system to clear my name, save my career, and destroy the Death Star. In a jaw-dropping twist worthy of Hitchcock (page 274), you'll gasp as I turn the tables on Hollywood and attempt to salvage my reputation in a town where you're only as good as your last remake. From a violent fistfight with a Buddhist to a life-altering stint in federal prison, this novel has it all. If you like John Grisham, Tom Clancy, or one too many run-on sentences, you'll absolutely loveMake Love the Bruce Campbell Way. And if the 72,444 words are too time-consuming, there are lots and lots of cool graphics. Regards, Bruce "Don't Call Me Ash" Campbell ~ Bruce Campbell's first book,If Chins Could Kill, was a major sleeper hit and became aNew York Times and national bestseller. His immense energy and sharp wit are in evidence again inMake Love the Bruce Campbell Way, a novel that will have readers laughing out loud. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I started reading it and really enjoyed it and then at some point (right around when eco terrorists were setting hummers on fire) I realized that everything in it was made up. It wasn't an autobiographical work, it was fiction! I was pretty disappointed, but it was still hilarious and super cheesy, exactly what you would expect from Bruce Campbell. ( )
