Everywhere an Oink Oink: An Embittered, Dyspeptic, and Accurate Report of Forty Years in Hollywood
Mark Levin website ^ | December 6, 2023 | David Mamet

In Everywhere an Oink Oink, David Mamet revels of the taut and gag-filled professionalism of the film set. He depicts the ever-fickle studios and producers who piece by piece eat the artist alive.

And he ponders the art of filmmaking and the genius of those who made our finest movies.

Does the FR exist to promote people’s books by reviewing them?

I posted the book info, because we are in a cultural civil war, and the book very likely has information worthy of reference in debate vs. liberals - ie vs. the left-wing-nuts.

The topic of Hollywood’s bias, surfaces at FR, from time to time.

And, some of us are known to read and study.

David Mamet is an American treasure. Thanks for bringing this to (at least, my) attention.

Yes, we do exist to discuss anything relevant to the social and political crisis we’re experiencing.

(I suspect you don’t know much about David Mamet...)

House of Games is a pretty good movie. His ex wife Lindsay Crouse played the lead character in it.

Government by Judiciary

A big problem. A worthwhile book.
