So I just bought this book today and started reading it, I gotta say, it's a most read. Lloyd Kaufman is brillant, Troma is amazing and this book is hilarious.
I'm only on chapter two and it's already been more than worth the $15, for crying out loud "Chapter 2: Raising MOney OR Mastering the ancient art of Fellatiio"
It's interesting that James Gunn's intro mentions that other troma fan/directors inspired by Quantity over Quality directing are "Peter Jackson, Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantio" I mean it's pretty obvious in retrospect but Kevin Smith came as a suprise to me until I thought about Clerks again and how it really was basically a risky throw together money and just film for your own enjoyment.
Trey Parker's Foreword is amazing too
I'd continue but as I said, I'm only up to chapter 2
Anyway, buy the book if you have the money for it, I know i'll have to read "everything I know about film I learned from the Toxic Avenger" next.
