I greatly enjoy reading books about the inner workings of Hollywood, not specifically from the actor/producer standpoint, but from the less hot-shot and A list people like writers, cameramen, or even just critics. William Goldman's "Who Killed Hollywood" is one of my favorite books and one I always refer to when thinking about movies. And for this reason I picked up Bambi vs. Godzilla. While I have seen some of David Mamet's movies before, this is my fist experience with his writing. I know the man is a good writer, but he flaunts this fact often throughout the first and last third of the book, using incredibly cryptic phrases, flowery paragraphs, and incessantly verbose thought patterns. For such a proponent of "getting to the point," he doesn't follow his own advice. The best parts of the book are when he's talking about the thing he knows best: writing a story. For this section, the book is a must read, as it explains the duties of a writer from a master of the craft. However, when he went into the general business of the movie industry, he lost focus often and delved mostly into toothless bitching. Mamet is a wonderful cynic and can teach all inspiring cynics a trick or two, but his anger and vehemence feels misdirected and chained. He might be trying to burn some bridges, but isn't ready to light the first match. And for that, I cannot wholly recommend this book, except as an unbalanced attempt at sticking it to the big wigs in Hollywood. If you like that sort of thing, give it a try. Otherwise, it's merely ok.
