nightdog_barksAnd okay, already I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt because today I got an appointment with the oncologist I want, this coming Friday. So FINALLY I can start getting some answers.
Otherwise ... I finished reading James Robert Parish's Fiasco: A History of Hollywood's Iconic Flops, which is a pretty interesting examination of how cost overruns, endless script rewrites, and out-of-control egos (mostly the latter) drove big films such as Ishtar, Waterworld, Battlefield: Earth, and (an oldie but a goodie) Cleopatra off a cliff. Lots of behind the scenes details (drunken stars, under-the-table deals, drugs (usually cocaine) being supplied to cast and crew) made this an entertaining read.
