Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK It was a cool April 30th night in 2011. I was sitting in the audience of the San Francisco Masonic Auditorium waiting for the guest speaker to make his appearance. My peers thought he was a crazy man ranting nonsensically for hours. He was a troll feeding off the attention we give him whether we agree or disagree with his postings on Twitter or with the bizarre statements he makes in interviews. His earlier speaking engagements were not well received so I was rather shocked that I found myself shelling $60 on what I expected to be a mediocre show. I could have just bought a “Winning, Duh?” T-shirt online instead and saved myself some money while living through this phase of celebrity American pop culture. Finally, the man took the stage. His name was Charlie Sheen and he was recently fired from his lovely acting job in Two and a Half Men. He looked haggard and seemed to be fueled on coffee and vodka. If it weren’t for his pre-existing celebrity status, I would have mistaken him for a casual guest lecturer from my university. But Charlie Sheen knew how to win over his audience from the start. He wore a San Francisco Giants jersey in San Francisco while speaking to a San Francisco audience. He announced that proceeds from merchandise sales would help the beaten Giants fan Bryan Stow. The gesture alone was enough to let the man speak his mind with a limited amount of heckling. As it turned out, there really wasn’t much in his mind that hasn’t already been said online or in interviews. He talked about his love of baseball and how he would like to do a third Major League movie and would want to include Giants pitcher Brian Wilson. I knew that while Charlie did want to continue his baseball comedy franchise, the inclusion of Brian Wilson was purely to appeal to the audience. Had he been in Chicago, he would have said he would include the Cub’s pitcher. He ranted about how horrible it was to work with Chuck Lorre on Two and a Half Men and how getting fired has liberated him. His one liners of “winning” and “Adonis DNA” and “tiger’s blood” worked better as one liners. Spewing them from the hip gave them less of a comedic sting. But his amicable and over the top personality was enough to win me and the audience over. I could have spent the money and the night on something more meaningful. But that time listening to Charlie Sheen proved what a consummate showman he is as he takes cheers and jeers from the public. Charlie Sheen has been devoted to acting since he was a child. That shouldn’t be a surprise considering that all of his siblings are actors and his father is a legendary actor. Charlie Sheen is a talented actor who won audiences over playing dramatic roles that explored human emotions and psychology. Then he got audiences to laugh at his comedic hijinks. Being able to make a person cry and laugh takes a truly talented actor. Charlie Sheen was focused on his acting... so much that he dropped out of high school because of the time he spent on it. WIth nothing to lose, he pursued his dream of becoming an actor and succeeded. How many people could honestly say that they were able to achieve their dream and let nothing get in the way of it? At the same time, Charlie Sheen has always been a troubled man. Since he was a teenager, he has had a thing for drugs, alcohol, women, and breaking the law. He’s frequently been arrested, sent to rehab, and divorced. Yet he keeps coming back for more. And each time he comes back for more, he comes back to his vices in bigger ways. While it looks like a voyage of self-destruction, people can’t help but envy the man for being able to do the things he wants to do no matter how bad it is for him, enjoy it, stay alive long enough to tell the story about, and find a way to keep on doing it.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature 'A gritty, modern Romeo and Juliet told by a compelling and original voice' Independent 'He is a tremendous storyteller ... a cracking debut, as moving as it is entertaining' New York Times _____________________ Charlie has a story to tell, about his best friends Sinéad and James and the bad things that happened. But he can't tell it yet, at least not 'til he's worked out where the beginning is. Because is the beginning long ago when Sinéad first spoke up for him after Charlie got in trouble at school for the millionth time? Or was it later, when Sinéad and James followed the music and found each other? Or was it later still on that terrible night when something unspeakable happened and someone chose to turn a blind eye? This is the story of the dark heart of an Irish village, of how daring to be different can be dangerous and how there is nothing a person will not do for love. This is the story of the Gamal.

Download or read book Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli written by Mark Seal and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “wickedly pacey page-turner” (Total Film) unfurls the behind-the-scenes story of the making of The Godfather, fifty years after the classic film’s original release. The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told—sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others to write “the definitive look at the making of an American classic” (Library Journal, starred review). On top of the usual complications of filmmaking, the creators of The Godfather had to contend with the real-life members of its subject matter: the Mob. During production of the movie, location permits were inexplicably revoked, author Mario Puzo got into a public brawl with an irate Frank Sinatra, producer Al Ruddy’s car was found riddled with bullets, men with “connections” vied to be in the cast, and some were given film roles. As Seal notes, this is the tale of a “movie that revolutionized filmmaking, saved Paramount Pictures, minted a new generation of movie stars, made its struggling author Mario Puzo rich and famous, and sparked a war between two of the mightiest powers in America: the sharks of Hollywood and the highest echelons of the Mob.” “For fans of books about moviemaking, this is a definite must-read” (Booklist).

Download or read book Chasing the Light written by Oliver Stone and published by HMH Books For Young Readers. This book was released on 2020 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate memoir by the controversial and outspoken Oscar-winning director and screenwriter about his complicated New York childhood, volunteering for combat, and his struggles and triumphs making such films as Platoon, Midnight Express, and Scarface. Before the international success of Platoon in 1986, Oliver Stone had been wounded as an infantryman in Vietnam, and spent years writing unproduced scripts while driving taxis in New York, finally venturing westward to Los Angeles and a new life. Stone, now 73, recounts those formative years with in-the-moment details of the high and low moments: We see meetings with Al Pacino over Stone's scripts for Scarface, Platoon, and Born on the Fourth of July; the harrowing demon of cocaine addiction following the failure of his first feature, The Hand (starring Michael Caine); his risky on-the-ground research of Miami drug cartels for Scarface; his stormy relationship with The Deer Hunter director Michael Cimino; the breathless hustles to finance the acclaimed and divisive Salvador; and tensions behind the scenes of his first Academy Award-winning film, Midnight Express. Chasing the Light is a true insider's look at Hollywood's years of upheaval in the 1970s and '80s.

Download or read book Along the Way written by Martin Sheen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-05-10 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning nearly 50 years of family history, the book chronicles the remarkable lives of two creative talents, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. It's a story of father and son set against the backdrop of Hollywood; this narrative is organized around their physical and spiritual journey along the Camino de Santiago, Spain, the thousand-year-old pilgrimage path which traverses Galicia. It is the area from which Sheen's father emigrated to the U.S. and to which Estevez's own son has returned. Along the Waywill focus not just on the lives these men have chosen as artists, but also (and most importantly) on the one they have lived together. It is a story of family bonds and artistic advances and setbacks; of good choices and hard choices; of opportunities lost and opportunities found. Sheen and Estevez will share what they have experienced and learned from each other in their forty eight years as father and son, as fathers of sons, as actors and director, as spiritual seekers, and as concerned citizens of the world. Readers will meet them as real people rather than icons, as two men who have accumulated decades of wisdom and insight they are now ready to share.
