Mark Kermode - The Good, The Bad, And The Multiplex
I finished reading this yesterday.
It’s a really good book, a pleasure to read. Kermode is extremely knowledgeable and writes brilliantly. The Good, The Bad, And The Multiplex is funny and entertaining, but also has a lot to say about the history of cinema and the state of the film industry at the moment.
In particular, he deals with topics such as how films and cinemas make their money (sounds obvious, but this was quite eye-opening), why 3D isn’t the future, why the quality of films these days is generally pretty bad, and how the Oscars and Golden Globes are a bit of a fix.
This is the first book I’ve read in 2012, and I highly recommend it.
