Point Anyone Who'll Let Me Watch Football by Running Press. this guy is the most annoying person on the face of the earth, it is truly amazing that he thinks people find neurotic self absorbtion entertaining, talk about being completely out of touch.¤

Point Anyone Who'll Let Me Watch Football by Running Press. I loved this book. I could not put it down! I wouldn´t suggest it to just anyone, though. This book is not for you if you are a sexually repressed, uptight person. The humor in this book is crude at times, but always intelligent, in my opinion. I´m an instant fan and can´t wait until Mr. Schaeffer writes his next book!¤

Point Anyone Who'll Let Me Watch Football by Running Press. I must say... it is remarkable to me the level of vitriol that Mr. Schaeffer seems to incur in response to his art. I have seen all of his films. From my perspective, they range from entertaining (Never Again, If Lucy Fell) to brilliant (Fall, Wirey Spindell)... though, this is neither here nor there. As with this book, his detractors seem incapable of reviewing the effort rather than the individual. The consistency of this reality from both lay people and (for shame) professional reviewers leaves me astounded. The worst thing I can think of to say about Eric Schaeffer is that he has no pause button between his brain and his mouth. Do we really experience this as such a problem... especially in an artist? Quite frankly, I find Eric to have a lot of respect for people in general with not a no malicious intent whatsoever(except perhaps in the way he sometimes treats himself)... again, neither here nor there. No one is asking you to date the man... or to hang out with him. If you think he is a lousy filmmaker... fine. If you think he is a poor author... lovely. But who cares what kind of person he is? Yes, this particular book, and some of his films are inspired by his own experiences... though what artist is that NOT true about? The man takes more shots at himself than any individual could ever dream of doing. Within that fact is a deep humility and a fair amount of self-awareness... if only the rest of Hollywood could manifest the same. Okay, now that I have become part of the problem... the book is wry, astute, sharp and insightful. If you are interested in reading the well written diatribes of someone who has no fear of saying what the rest of us only dare to think, do yourself a favor. On the other hand, if you find yourself intimidated by the journey of truth... run.¤

His fowl mouth and mind are only surpassed by his over inflated ego.
His movies are so bad that even shoe-ins like Parker and Stiller couldn´t save them.
Inane is descriptive of him and his work.
Pass on by as you look for something worth reading.¤

5) Paperback Book I Can't Believe I'm Still Single: Sane, Slightly Neurotic (but in a Sane Way) Filmmaker into Good Yoga, Bad Reality TV, Too Much Chocolate, and a Little ... Point Anyone Who'll Let Me Watch Football by Running Press. i had been curious about this book for a while, but finally picked it and didn´t put it down until reading the very last words. as a 27-year-old woman, admittedly i felt some discomfort allying myself with schaeffer´s viewpoints at times, but in the end, no matter how self-centered he came across, i appreciated his honesty. maybe it´s just me, growing up in ny, but aren´t we all fairly narcissistic in our day to day existences? it´s not like he claimed to write a book examining the current state of geo-political affairs, there it is in the title, this is a book about ME!

all in all, i appreciated the fact that i sat out on my fire escape for hours today reading page after page. perhaps it´s my predilection for devouring the works of somewhat misogynistic authors (and i don´t think schaeffer is one in the slightest): hemmingway, sartre. i relish reading pure unbridled emotion on the page; frustrations, anxieties, self-doubt because in the end we all experience a degree of those feelings on a daily basis. i don´t understand the vitriol coming his way. not in any way comparing him to roth, because that would be absurd, but solely on the woman-hating tip - really? who is worse? is that a fair point? i don´t really know, but as a great read, i firmly stand by it.¤
