This is a wonderful book! As anyone who's seen Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Rifftrax knows, Kevin Murphy is a funny, funny man. So it's no surprise that this book has a lot of laughs. But comedy isn't really the purpose of this book. Kevin Murphy is also someone with a deep love for movies and the entire experience involved in viewing films, and that is the real focus of this book. He writes about all sorts of aspects involved in seeing movies, from the different kinds of theaters in which they're shown to the food to the audiences and so forth, and the ways in which all of these elements come together to create an experience for good or ill. The writing is smart, descriptive, and engaging and most importantly it made me love moviegoing the way he loves movie going.


Come for the LULZ, stay for the love!
