Richard T. Kelly's wacky book of alternative movie lists, 10 Bad Dates with De Niro, has just been released in paperback. This entertaining collection of lists is a symposium and celebration of viewing pleasures, private passions, and cinematic lost causes. Contributors include a stellar cast of critics, filmmakers, and writers ranging from Steven Soderbergh and the Coen brothers to Mike Figgis and George Pelecanos."A stimulating, necessary volume - and virtually alone amongst cinematic studies in the wit of its arguments and the seductiveness of its style." - Richard Schickel, Los Angeles Times
Here's a sneak preview of some of the list included in 10 Bad Dates with De Niro:
- Ten Great Uses of Poetry at the Movies
- Top Ten Movie Nightclubs I Wish Were Real
- Ten Great Funerals
- Ten Movies that Made Cigarettes Look Cool

- Ten So-Called "Turkeys" that Are Actually Terrific
