I'm reading his book HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL and have to say he comes across a bit nasty to his wife and stuff. Plus, I never much liked his scripts anyway... what do others think?

his rep as a world-class gynophobe asshole is definitely supported by his collected scripts, but since Jade the sleaziest film i have ever seen i still rank him classic

his facial hair is obviously classic

I've never made much of a secret of my intense love and respect for Showgirls.

dud.

And "Hollywood Animal" isn't nearly as good as I would have hoped. He's led an interesting life but he's not that interesting as a person; the fails on those merits because he focuses on the latter instead of the former i.e. not nearly enough details about boning Sharon Stone.

I'm reading his e-book Heaven and Mel and am enjoying it quite a bit.
