Currently enjoying Hoberman's new book, Make My Day, the third installment in the line of The Dream Life and Army of Phantoms. This one covers the years 1975-1988. The first chapter contrasts Nashville with Jaws, with the author delivering the line, "Nashville was supple while Jaws was rigid, but Nashville was superficial while Jaws ran deep."

Later Hoberman rips into Reagan-era Hollywood product, bringing back the horrors and dipshit fraudulence of that decade all too vividly. He regularly refers to the films Reagan personally screened in the White House, so it's a bit like "Reagan at the Movies."
