The Take2 Guide to Steven Spielberg

A little shameless promotion of self and others here, folks. Take2 Publishing is a new venture encompassing a genuinely interesting and worthy goal, collecting the best words published about films and filmmaking online, a form of writing that doesn’t ever really die and yet is usually lost fairly quickly to the internet ether, for a series of ebooks. Their first project was a suitably big name, Steven Spielberg, and my articles on the director’s works, suitably revised and edited, are included — over 25,000 words on eight movies — along with over 70 contributors, including Matt Zoller Seitz and Jonathan Rosenbaum, and some heroes of internet film writing like Dennis Cozzalio, Greg Ferrara, Ed Howard, and Sam Juliano. Adam Zanzie, wunderkind proprietor of Icebox Movies, was our fearless editor. So buy it, guys, it’s only US $10, a small chunk of change for such a colossal work (nearly 1,000 pages), and comes in multiple formats. Here it is at Take2’s own sales page, and at Amazon.
