I just got my contributor’s copies of GEORGE LUCAS’S BLOCKBUSTING. It has taken me more than an hour to page through my thirty entries among George Lucas’s hand-picked 300 flicks, but that’s because the *other* 17 writers, and Lucy Wilson’s very entertaining graphical stuff, and the authoritative interstitial material, make this something I CAN’T PUT DOWN! As I told Linda when she walked in and wondered what I was doing, if I wasn’t in this book, I would still want to have it. She hefted it, fanned it, and said, I agree.
If you click on the link in the preceding paragraph and buy the book that way (or just click the cover immediately above), I get a few pennies more. Thank you in advance. But however you acquire this tome, get after it NOW: if you like American movies, then this thing MUST be on your bookshelf.
Amazon assures me that I will have it in my hot little hands on the ninth.

Bill: I wrote thirty of the 300 single-film entries. As you can see, each entry is signed, but if you’re like me, it should take you about a *year* to find all thirty of mine, ’cause there’s so much great other stuff along the way. Have fun!

If Linda “hefted it, fanned it, and said, I agree” then it must be great! 😉
