David Mamet on Trigger Warnings
From his book “Everywhere an Oink Oink: An Embittered, Dyspeptic, and Accurate Report of Forty Years in Hollywood” where he takes a dull machete and finely guts the film industry.
I think we can safely add “Critics love it/rave about it/etc.” to the list.
This is the first book I read of Mamet and as discombobulated it initially looks, it is surprisingly lineal and entertaining.
Overtures: King Kong, The King and I, The Ten Commandments, The Longest Day, Lawrence of Arabia, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Sound of Music, Doctor Zhivago, The Sand Pebbles, Camelot, Ice Station Zebra, The Lion in Winter, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Right Stuff.
Of course, only the last one was made after 1970.
