› Find signed collectible books: 'All I Need to Know about Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger'Book summary:From The Toxic Avenger to Tromeo and Juliet, Troma films have shocked, appalled -- and inspired a generation of filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to Kevin Smith. Now legendary Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman tell all...
Imagine Roger Corman and John Waters crossed with Howard Stern -- and you'll have an idea of the demented genius behind Troma studios, one of the oldest (and most successful) independent film studios in the world. Lloyd Kaufman's spirited, outrageous, no-holds-barred look at low-budget, guerilla filmmaking is truly an inspiration to young filmmakers, a delight for movie buffs, and an absolute must for Toxic Avenger fans everywhere.
This is the true story of the moviemaking maverick who co-founded an independent studio twenty-five years ago in a humble broom closet...who used raw hamburger, Karo syrup blood, and Bromo-Seltzer vomit to create films of questionable artistic and moral value...who is responsible for a string of cult movie hits...who was the first to reject Madonna for a part...who defied the Hollywood system and slapped the face of the industry...and who built a B-movie empire filled with Chopper Chicks, Surf Nazis, Kabuki Cops, Nymphoid Barbarians, and a lone hero known as The Toxic Avenger.
Toxic ingredients include:
-- Kevin Costner in Sizzle Beach, USA
-- Billy Bob Thornton in Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town
-- Marisa Tomei in The Toxic Avenger
-- plus special tips on tearing an actor's arm off, secret recipes for fake gore, and much, too much more [via]More editions of All I Need to Know about Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger:

In the not-too-distant future, money truly can buy happiness, and Hedonics, Inc., is willing to sell it to you. They'll even offer you a money-back guarantee, if you're not "happy" with the product. But with their team of psychologists, life specialists, and self-improvement coaches, they don't have any "unhappy" customers.
What happens when a company grows too big, becomes too successful? It wants to guarantee its place in society and its future, and Hedonics is no exception. When your product is happiness, the way you guarantee your success is to pass laws mandating happiness.
But when universal happiness is required, does it really matter if you're getting what you want, or happy with what you have?
James Gunn has been a professional science fiction writer for more than 60 years, and in 2007, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named him a Grand Master.

Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, forty billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall - those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future.
Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire... the man who holds the key to the future - an apocalyptic power to be know forever after as the Foundation.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Scooby-Doo Movie Novelization'Book summary:Jinkies! Zoinks! Look, like, dude, man... Look no further for all your Shaggy-isms, Velma-isms, and unabashed Scooby-isms ("Raggy! A ronster!") in this boiled-down novelization of the Scooby-Doo movie. Each member of Mystery, Inc., takes a turn telling the story through his or her own eyes (even Scooby, who provides a chapter with Shaggy translation), missing none of the movie's self-referential ridiculousness. Working from James Gunn's screenplay, Suzanne Weyn (Bob the Builder, Forever Angels) doesn't seem to have passed up any of the script's better jokes, which make fun of everything from the Gap to Vanilla Ice to the Olsen twins. Will the gang eventually find "the Papa Smurf figure" behind the demonic happenings on Spooky Island? Of course they will, but don't read the story here first if you're hoping to preserve any of the movie's surprises--including the identity of its unlikely (yet somehow inevitable) villain. Comes with eight pages of movie stills. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes [via]
