The
Big Picture
by Benjamin Svetkey
Hollywood has needed one of these for a long
time — a user's manual. This one could not be more
complete — or readable — covering everything
from the basic linguistics of the business (''pitch,'' ''greenlight,''
''creative differences,'' all the studio-speak buzzwords
are in here) to elementary film-industry economics (it's
all about DVD sales) to the psycho-sociological significance
of status totems among celebrities (e.g., why they so love
their private jets). Keep it in your car along with the
latest Thomas Guide, and you'll never get lost in this town
again. Grade: A
