Take A Peek, You Perves

Amazon has finally (some 7 or 8 months after publication) implemented the Search Inside feature for Better Living Through Bad Movies. If you’ve thought about buying it, but haven’t yet taken the plunge, feel free to follow the link and root around in the books unmentionables.

And if you have read it, please consider dropping by Amazon or Barnesandnoble.com and leaving a review. Even if you’re General J.C. Christian.

Thanks!

Fruit bats. Now I realize what I’ve been missing all these years. It’s fruit bats.
Wotta wunnerful idea. I just gave it a rave review on my blog, which is regularly visited by my cats, who don’t have access to my credit card, and even if they did, would rather order double anchovy pizza than read a book. I’ll do it to Amazon, instead.
Here’s my Amazon review, to make up for the lame-ass review at my blog:
(5 STARS) Made me laugh out loud so hard that I needed Poise pads!, February 12, 2007
Reviewer: Anntichrist S. Coulter (What’s Left Of Louisiana) – I’ll never forget the day last fall when this wonder of the written word, this pulp-based pulchritudinous prose, this book among books, arrived in the mail. It’s been a long time (since Hunter Thompson, Lewis Grizzard, and Erma Bombeck died, anyway) since a book made me laugh out-loud, but this one did the trick.
I’ve always enjoyed Scott & S.Z.’s movie-reviews-as-geopolitical-discourse pieces at World O’Crap (http://world-o-crap.com/blog/ ), but to have them in more-portable, curl-up-in-bed-and-laugh-yourself-silly, take-it-anywhere-and-annoy-the-people-in-the-waiting-room format was a great boon to my reading life. The title alone was enough to impress my former doctor, a barely-shaving young tot who specialized in “pain management.” Hopefully he’ll fork over some of his Medicare riches and buy a few copies.
This book is an ideal gift for anyone who’s ever liked movies, political commentary, or who has a sense of humor. And even for those stick-in-the-mud in-laws who have less humor than a wet diaper, this book is still a winner — they may not get ALL of the jokes, but they’ll at least give themselves a migraine in the pursuit, so it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
When I can, I plan to keep a case of Better Living Through Bad Movies by the front door, to help educate & enlighten wayward Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Amway salespeople. Also very useful for flogging the aforementioned people over the head when they JUST WON’T LISTEN.
If I could generate the interest and tax shelters, I believe that we could start a whole new cult based on Better Living Through Bad Movies — as long as the critters at S.Z.’s house get to benefit from the fundraisers, and we can set up our own compound out in the undisclosed wilderness (but sure as hell not in WACO!!) — Better Living Through Bad Movies could become a whole new way of life!

Now, if you’ll kindly have one of your CIA contacts bump-off the nut-job who’s alternately “rapping” to himself out in the parking lot and banging on the hallway walls, I’ll not only be forever in your debt, I’ll come to your house and clean the litterboxes.
Ok, so maybe this is a book my store should carry. But can you do better than my main supplier, Ingram, can provide? They offer me a 15% discount and I have to pay freight. And non-returnable. But if the General and Annti love it, I think the most French bookstore in Seattle should stock it.
SeattleDan,
Oh, stock this book. Promote it just a little and it’ll fly off the shelves. I ordered it before it came out, and kept my wife awake laughing while we were in bed. It was a refreshing change from the usual pattern, but that’s neither here nor there. This is a funny book.
