The Kid stays in the picture

Completely off-topic, but I had to share. I saw this movie on TV last night, without hype, expectation or preparation (isn't that always the best way). It's a fantastic story, beautifully told with old photographs, magazine clippings and movie clips. Robert Evans, movie producer and one-time head of Paramount studios, narrates the story of his life in Hollywood, the glorious rise and inevitable fall, love and loss... all the good stuff!

I'd never even heard of Robert Evans, but his story touches some of the best and most successful movies from the 60s and 70s, so if you have any interest in that period I'm sure you'll enjoy it. In a weird way it reminded me of Forrest Gump, it's like the story of an entire era in Hollywood, but it's all told from the point of view of this one guy, who seems to be involved in everything.

Anyway, if you get the chance, check it out. Of course, now that I've given you the hype and expectation, I've probably ruined it for you....
