Title: Self-righteous and Indulgent
Product review: Good God, is this book self-righteous. I bought it based on its compelling premise, and in return I received endless tirades on the inadequacies of movies, movie theatres, movie audiences, and every other topic that managed to crawl up Mr. Murphy's ... and opinions that Mr. Murphy has used to bore people at dinner parties for YEARS and now he's found an opportunity to share his "wisdom" and "perfect" taste to a wider audience. The one advantage we have is that we can stop reading (I did) whereas the friends and family of Mr. Murphy are still stuck listening to him complain, which is the #1 component of this book. The only thing that saves it from a one-star review is that there is some nice pro Laurel and Hardy propoganda, which means that Mr. Murphy got at least one thing right. Otherwise, it's a lot of self-satisfied griping.
