       Writing Movies For Fun and Profit

       Finally picked this up from the bookstore a week ago, and it was
       worth the cover price.  It's sort of a half-how to guide and
       half anecdotal book about the Reno 911 guys' career in movies,
       and it's weird because it's both hilarious and kind of
       depressing.  There's even a whole chapter about how Herbie Fully
       Loaded came about and how it just fell apart as they worked on
       it.  The failures are real interesting, but if you want to
       write, then they're very depressing because you think "this
       could happen to ME" and your career could be over like that due
       to circumstances totally out of your control.
       Worth a read for sure (I finished it all in a day, though I
       didn't read the whole treatments of Reno SOS or their other
       projects, even though I guess I should.

       I just did a search in my Library system. No dice. Will check
       again down the road, but it's not likely to ever make its way
       into the system given that the book is 2 years already. It
       sounds like a good read. If I can get a used copy for cheap on
       eBay, I'll go that route.
