I’ve got a bunch of them as well.

And but one of the downsides of doing a book like that where you’re talking about great movies is every author practically who writes one of these things gives the boring synopsis of the movie and just to stage, I think, how the author is going to then talk about the film critically. I’m going to steer clear of that. So, if you haven’t seen the film, I’m going to write enough. Like if I’m writing about eight and a half, for instance, I’m going to give you just enough on Fellini and just enough on the production. But I’m not going to board the reader with the plot. I’ll let the reader, if he or she has not seen the Fellini film, go out and explore it on their own. So, I’m going to talk about it more from a visual standpoint of why something like Fellini’s eight and a half means so much to me. Why on the opposite end of the spectrum does a movie like Cartoon with Lawrence Olivier and Charlton Heston mean so much to me. And I will explain from that angle. And my publisher actually, I was already going this way with it, but my publisher also suggested, please dispense with the boring synopsis of the movies that you talk about. So, anyway, this should be completed in final draft form very soon. And like I say, hopefully get it out in the stores by Christmas.
