Whenever I am hungover or in the throes of the screaming rhubarbs, I always like to read a little Friedman. It works like a vitamin B-shot to the DT'ed system:

"The cinema-world evolved as I knew but would not say: the movie I became famous for and did not write was better reviewed and out-earned the movie I spent ten years writing (and wasn't even invited to the premiere.) Or sent a one-sheet. Or a DVD."

Take a shot.
