'Big Bosoms and Square Jaws'

I promised myself not to pick up any new books before I finish the stack of Nick Tosches novels and biographies I had piled here but when I walked by the new Russ Meyer biography, 'Big Bosoms and Square Jaws' by Jimmy McDonough, I couldn't resist myself.

I learned more about filmmaking from watching Meyer films than from all of the film classes I took combined. Last night, after an intense read, the book was done.

I urge any one contemplating to pick up this book. Meyer led a unique life and influenced film, photography and modern culture more than the mainstream media would like to acknowledge. It's an important documentation of an original who is truly one of a kind.
