Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. An in-depth celebration of the romantic comedy?s modern golden era and its role in our culture, tracking the genre from its heyday in the ?80s and the ?90s, its unfortunate decline in the 2000s, and its explosive reemergence in the age of streaming, featuring exclusive interviews with the directors, writers, and stars of the iconic films that defined the genre.No Hollywood genre has been more misunderstood?or more unfairly under-appreciated?than the romantic comedy. Funny, charming, and reliably crowd-pleasing, rom-coms were the essential backbone of the Hollywood landscape, launching the careers of many of Hollywood?s most talented actors and filmmakers, such as Julia Roberts and Matthew McConaughey, and providing many of the yet limited creative opportunities women had in Hollywood. But despite?or perhaps because of?all that, the rom-com has routinely been overlooked by the Academy Awards or snobbishly dismissed by critics. In From Hollywood with Love, culture writer and GQ contributor Scott Meslow seeks to right this wrong, celebrating and analyzing rom-coms with the appreciative, insightful critical lens they?ve always deserved. Beginning with the golden era of the romantic comedy?spanning from the late ?80s to the mid-?00s with the breakthrough of films such as When Harry Met Sally?to the rise of streaming and the long-overdue push for diversity setting the course for films such as the groundbreaking, franchise-spawning Crazy Rich Asians, Meslow examines the evolution of the genre through its many iterations, from its establishment of new tropes, the Austen and Shakespeare rewrites, the many love triangles, and even the occasional brave decision to do away with the happily ever after. Featuring original black-and-white sketches of iconic movie scenes and exclusive interviews with the actors and filmmakers behind our most beloved rom-coms, From Hollywood with Love constructs oral histories of our most celebrated romantic comedies, for an informed and entertaining look at Hollywood?s beloved yet most under-appreciated genre.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For the first time, the complete history of David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks, told through fascinatingly detailed reporting and exclusive interviews with the show's cast and creators.'The high point of TV as a medium. David Lynch's Twin Peaks may never be bettered.' Guardian'Anybody making one-hour drama today who says he wasn't influenced by David Lynch is lying.' David ChaseFrom its initial broadcast in 1990 to the unexpected and hugely acclaimed return of the series some twenty-five years later, Twin Peaks garnered millions of fans across the world - though from the first episode, studio executives had predicted the inevitable failure of the show.In A Place Both Wonderful and Strange, film and TV critic Scott Meslow takes us behind the (red) curtain of Twin Peaks and into the unique and immersive world created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. Meslow has conducted dozens of original interviews with cast and crew - including Mark Frost, Sherilyn Fenn, James Marshall and Ray Wise - which shed new light on this extraordinary work that often raised as many questions as it answered.With David Lynch's passing in 2025, there may never be another return to the unforgettable town of Twin Peaks, yet A Place Both Wonderful and Strange draws readers back once again to the inimitable experience of the show and offers fascinating new insights and perspectives.…
