Movies and Something Else. Unknown Stories About Famous Films

Hello! This is Shia. There should be a beautiful text about my new book here, but instead, I decided to answer the questions you are likely to have. 1. What is this book about? It is a book about movies,... that's what it is. I wrote it because I love movies, because they have meant a lot to me since childhood. And probably, it will be an important part of my life until my death. Or until new parts of 'Fast & Furious' stop being made. I wonder which will happen first? 2. How to read this book? Very simply. It contains thirty chapters, each dealing with a question about movies that needs to be answered. Sometimes these are very silly questions, and sometimes they are quite serious. But I hope I answer them with great attention and respect. Read it however you like. You don't need to read chapter 13 about blockbusters to understand chapter 14 about the film 'Selena'. Oh, and also: there are quite a few illustrations in the book. I like illustrations because they give a sense of completion to everything and help transport the reader to the environment I was in when I wrote this. There is, for example, a chapter written in the form of a press conference held by Mike Myers - the star of the 'Halloween' franchise. Silly, of course, but there is a drawing of Mike at the podium in front of a crowd of journalists, and when you look at it, you are transported to that environment, and it starts to feel like it’s not a fictional situation, but a real event. 3. Did you follow any rules when writing this book? Perhaps the only rule I followed is not to spend too much time and energy talking about movies that were released before the 1980s. I just focused on the films I like. Some of them are from the 1980s, while the rest were made in the 1990s, 2000s, or even 2010s. 4. Wait, I just realized: the only reason you're writing a preface in this format is that the book itself is structured as answers to questions? Bingo!
