The Devil’s Candy by Julie Salamon

Wrong way: read books about making good movies.
Right way: read books about making a bad movie, and then don’t do that.
This book tells the story of a historic box office flop, Bonfire of the Vanities. (It is historic in the sense that someone wrote a book about it.) Hear us make fun of the people who made it! Even though they seem very talented!
