Paperback

Published by: Ebury Press

The Simpsons is the world's most popular entertainment phenomenon, regularly voted on both sides of the Atlantic as the best TV show ever made. Simpsons Confidential is the uncensored, unauthorised oral history of the show from the people who made it happen. It takes you into the inner sanctum of the series to reveal the mechanics and politics of how The Simpsons became of global significance - from Matt Groening drawing his first Homer on the ride over to pitch the show, to Conan O'Brien and the other Harvard comedy geniuses taking us into the daily life of the writing room. Animators, writers, actors, directors, producers, executives and celebrity guest stars - everyone from Rupert Murdoch down - all offer their opinions, insights and stories. Positively fizzing with indiscretions and intrigue, here at last is the book that legions of Simpsons fans have been waiting for.

NZ$ 120.00 each

Hardback

Author: Taschen

Published by: Taschen

In Stock: 1

This title contains favorite flicks - the best of a century.They say that in life, there are winners and there are losers. The movies we selected for this two-volume collection are winners indeed, but those who didn't make the cut are not losers. We just didn't like them quite as much. Though it was a tough choice, TASCHEN believes that the 100 movies featured herein are the finest examples of filmmaking our kind has known. From horror to comedy, fantasy to tragedy, epic to musical, all genres are represented in this wide-ranging and devilishly fun compendium.Chronological entries each include a synopsis, cast/crew listings, technical information, actor/director bios, trivia, awards, and of course plenty of film stills and production photos.Take it from us: each of these movies deserves to be watched, re-watched, studied, and celebrated. These are the 20th century films whose influence endures most prominently.
