Anybody else ever read Julia Phillips "You'll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again "

If you're interested in this Weinstein circus then these 2 books will interest you

The Simpson biography would be a forerunner if not blueprint to which Weinstein became

Have heard about the Philips book chavman, and might give it a go one day. Read the Simpson book many years ago, and yeh, that was a very entertaining read. A real eye-opener, what an extraordinary character that guy was.
Also "Adventures in the Screen Trade" by William Goldman, another good read. The Sidney Lumet book on the processes involved in film-making is also interesting (can't remember the name of that one now...gave it to my sister some years ago).
