520    "New York Times opinion writer and best-selling author 
       Lindy West was once the in-house movie critic for 
       Seattle's alternative newsweekly The Stranger, where she 
       covered film with brutal honesty and giddy irreverence. In
       Shit, Actually, Lindy returns to those roots, reexamining 
       beloved and iconic movies from the past 40 years with an 
       eye toward the big questions of our time: Is Twilight the 
       horniest movie in history? Why do the zebras in The Lion 
       King trust Mufasa - who is a lion - to look out for their 
       best interests? Why did anyone bother making any more 
       movies after The Fugitive achieved perfection? And, my god,
       why don't any of the women in Love, Actually ever fucking 
       talk? From Forrest Gump, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and Bad 
       Boys II, to Face/Off, Top Gun, and The Notebook, Lindy 
       combines her razor-sharp wit and trademark humor with a 
       genuine adoration for nostalgic trash to shed new critical
       light on some of our defining cultural touchstones - the 
       stories we've long been telling ourselves about who we 
       are. At once outrageously funny and piercingly incisive, 
       Shit, Actually reminds us to pause and ask, "How does this
       movie hold up?", all while teaching us how to laugh at the
       things we love without ever letting them or ourselves off 
       the hook. Shit, Actually is a love letter and a breakup 
       note all in one: to the films that shaped us and the ones 
       that ruined us. More often than not, Lindy finds, they're 
       one and the same."--Back cover
