"You talkin' to me?" If you're a diehard film buff -or just a Diehard buff- this hilarious little book is indeed talkin' to you. Taking a completely wacky approach to the game of movie trivia, author Paul Copperwaite has devised scores of graphs-pie charts, bar charts, flowcharts, diagrams, and tables-that tickle you while testing your knowledge of the most memorable and most embarrassing moments in cinematic history. Copperwaite's charts measure and quantify the strangest stuff: Bruce Willis's baldness, Al Pacino's loudness, Keanu Reeves' expressiveness (or lack thereof), King Kong's irritability level, property values in Amityville, the coincidence between John Travolta's dancing in a film and that film's box office success (Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction hit it big; Battlefield Earth flops).If you love movies and pride yourself on how much you know about them, you'll relish being in on the jokes.
