I've got the Kinski book and it is indeed 'lively'. 'Mad as a proverbial' is another way to put it, as it's like reading the ravings of a raging egomaniac and sexoholic. Seriously, if the book's to be believed, he has his dick in someone more often than in his pants..
Great read though.
Oh, and latest films:
Sinister (cinema) - Disappointing Insidious-a-like horror with bog standard scares and clichés abound. You know exactly where it's going and most (save one or two) of the shocks are cheap.
Killing Them Softly (cinema) - Much better than expected. A grim, gritty, misanthropic crime thriller with a fine cast and a bitter political edge. Has a real zinger of an ending speech.
Being There (Blu) - Terrific Hal Ashby film starring Peter Sellers as a well mannered, gentle man, living an isolated existence with TV being his only link to the outside world - until he is forced into a society that finds his simplicity and directness both endearing and profound.
