Title: A disappointment
Product review: I had been looking forward to this book for a long time. As a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan, I hoped the idea of MST3K regular Kevin Murphy writing about the movie-going experience (he planned to see a movie every day) would be fun and entertaining. Murphy's book is neither.The major failure of the book is that Murphy's basic hook-- seeing a movie every day-- is unexplored. He breaks his movie going experience down week by week, starting with a list of the films he has seen duering the given week. However, he spends little time reviewing the films, instead, we get a week by week diary of how Murphy spent a (mostly)uninteresting 2001.The other problem is Murphy's tone. He comes off smug and self-satisfied, a tone that unfortunatly crept into the later years of MST3K (as well as into MST3K regular Mike Nelson's second book).A major disappointment.
