Behind The Shoulder Pads - Tales I Tell My Friends

The captivating, candid and hilarious new memoir from the legendary actress and bestselling author

Routledge Research in Media Law

This book is a comparative study of state-based censorship laws and practices in the Asia Pacific region.It provides crucial historical context for each of the common law traditions in Malaysia, Australia and Hong Kong - all former British colonies - and compares it to the tradition of civil law and the lèse majesté law in Thailand. The book sets out to analyse the approach to film censorship of four Asian-Pacific countries. It does so largely from a doctrinal perspective, reviewing each country's legal history and impact on the local film industry. Chapters detail censorship practices in each jurisdiction; key opinions and issues within individual states, and conclude with options for judicial review and insights relevant to the Malaysian film industry. The book also contains interviews with prominent film practitioners and censorship authorities. Their range of opinions contextualise the doctrinal research and demonstrate the effects of film censorship on artistic vibrancy and commercial viability of the film industries.With its comparative approach to exploring how censorship and state regulation impacts local film industries, this book will interest scholars of film studies, Asian studies, and media law.

'Hang on - it's a wild ride' Meryl Streep 'Brilliant, concretely realised social history as much as a fabulous odyssey, and I read it in a mad frenzy' Stephen Fry 'Indiscreet, brilliantly observed, frequently hilarious' Evening Standard 'As delightful as eating a whole box of chocolates, without a trace of weight gain' Telegraph 'Heaven' India Knight, Sunday Times *** It's 1983. A young Englishwoman arrives in Manhattan on a mission. Summoned in the hope that she can save Condé Nast's troubled new flagship Vanity Fair, Tina Brown is plunged into the maelstrom of competitive New York media. She survives the politics and the intrigue by a simple stratagem: succeeding. Here are the inside stories of the scoops and covers that sold millions: the Reagan kiss, the meltdown of Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles, the sensational Annie Leibovitz cover of a gloriously pregnant, naked Demi Moore. Written with dash and verve, the diary is also a sharply observed account of New York and London society. In its cinematic pages the drama, comedy and struggle of raising a family and running an 'it' magazine come to life.

From a Nottingham alleyway to a global empire, Threads is the story of a truly unique British fashion icon. 'I always say that you can find inspiration in everything. And if you can't, look again' - Sir Paul Smith Sir Paul's journey has been anything but conventional: from leaving school at fifteen with a dream of being a professional racing cyclist to a life-altering accident that would change everything. After meeting the love of his life and immersing himself in the exciting new world of the 1960s London art and fashion scene, he would go on to build a global fashion empire that started off as a tiny shop tucked behind a dark, damp corridor in Nottingham. For the first time, and with his signature wit, Paul shares candid memories of a life in style, including what it was like to dress legends including David Bowie, Daniel Day-Lewis, Giorgio Armani and Sir Alex Ferguson; how he fought to keep his brand independent in a world of globalized homogeneity; and why, after five decades of success, you can still find him on the shopfloor every Saturday meeting his customers. Guided by his father's advice of working hard and repairing everything by hand, Threads is more than a fashion memoir. It is a masterclass in how to stay curious, stay independent and always look for the extraordinary in the everyday.

Threads

In this explosive, wildly entertaining memoir, Spencer Pratt charts his rise and fall as America’s most notorious reality TV villain on The Hills—and how, from the ashes of the Pacific Palisades fires, he’s finally ready for his redemption arc. Spencer Pratt wasn’t born into Hollywood royalty—he charmed his way in, driven by an unshakeable need to become somebody. By twenty-one, he had created his own reality show, making him the youngest executive producer in network television history. When that venture imploded, he didn’t give up; instead, he infiltrated MTV’s The Hills, weaponizing Simon Cowell-style villainy to become Y2K’s most hated reality TV antagonist. From on-screen fights to off-camera manipulation, Spencer transformed toxicity into ratings gold—and, with future wife Heidi Montag, built “Speidi,” a two-headed tabloid machine worth $2 million a year. But behind the scenes, Spencer was spiraling. He begged for a redemption arc, only to learn villains don’t get to yell “cut.” As his mental health unraveled, calculated chaos gave way to full-blown instability—hoarding weapons, blowing a fortune on crystals, and pushing everyone away. Broke, blacklisted, and exiled from Hollywood, he lost his grip on reality, trapped in the fake world he’d built until he had almost nothing left. All that remained was Heidi, the one person who never stopped believing in him. Together, Heidi and Spencer embarked on an unlikely comeback: rebuilding their lives through hummingbird mysticism, family, and lovable eccentricity across social media platforms. When the 2025 Palisades wildfires destroyed their home and everything inside, something miraculous happened—the TikTok community rallied around them with breathtaking speed, transforming them from antiheroes into beloved survivors almost overnight. Spencer Pratt was reborn not as a manufactured persona, but as exactly who he was: unedited, unfiltered, and real. Now, for the first time, Spencer reveals the untold truth behind the spectacle—a darkly comedic, unflinching, and often surreal confessional from a TV villain who’s finally broken character for good.

Richard Schickel's study of Billy Wilder's 1944 noir classic Double Indemnity traces in fascinating detail the genesis and realisation of the film: its literary origins in James M. Cain's hard-boiled crime novel, the difficult relations between Wilder and his scriptwriter Raymond Chandler, the casting of a reluctant Fred MacMurray, and the late decision to cut the expensively filmed execution sequence from the final release. Schickel places Double Indemnity in the context of early 1940s Hollywood and the emergence of a new kind of crime thriller that later became known as film noir. The film was a cornerstone of the genre: its script creates two unforgettable criminal characters, the cynically manipulative femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) and the likeable but amoral Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray). Billy Wilder's direction enmeshes them in dramatic chiaroscuro, as bright California sunlight casts Venetian-blind shadows across dusty rooms and harsh lamplight slices through the night. In his afterword to this new edition, James Naremore pays tribute to Schickel's analysis of Double Indemnity and its contexts, and considers debates surrounding the film's conclusion.

Double Indemnity

Groundhog Day (1993), directed by Harold?Ramis and starring Bill?Murray, is widely regarded as one of the most original and enduring films of 1990s Hollywood. What begins as a high-concept romantic comedy about a cynical television weatherman forced to repeatedly relive the same day soon deepens into a tale of despair and renewal, coloured by existential unease and the spirit of Samuel?Beckett. In this engaging study, Ryan?Gilbey traces the film's unlikely journey from Danny?Rubin's speculative script, centred on a man condemned to eternity in a small town, to its transformation into a studio classic. Drawing on fresh interviews with Rubin, Gilbey explores the inspired casting of Murray and Andie?MacDowell, the film's quietly radical structure, and the delicate balance between comedy and melancholy that gives Groundhog Day its lasting power. This new edition includes an afterword in which Gilbey reflects on the film's continuing cultural impact, its themes of repetition and despair assuming fresh resonance in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic with its cycle of lockdown and re-opening. He considers Groundhog Day's influence on movies and television from Source Code (2011) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014) to Russian Doll (2019-2022) and I?May?Destroy?You (2020), as well as the 2016 stage musical based on the movie. Groundhog Day, Gilbey argues, has become more than a film; it is now a lens through which we examine repetition, transformation and the rhythms of contemporary life.

In the middle of shooting, the actor playing Hawthorne is stabbed - which leaves the real Hawthorne with no choice. He has to step in and investigate his own murder. Because the killer may not have got the right man. Was it Hawthorne himself who was meant to be the target? A Deadly Episode is a wild ride through a world that the author knows only too well, and the most personal case Hawthorne has had to deal with so far. ----------- Praise for A Deadly Episode . . .

From its start, when studio executives drafted a plan to recoup costs after what they predicted would be the series' inevitable failure, to the 1992 prequel movie that earned scathing reviews at Cannes, to its unexpected and acclaimed return some twenty-five years later, Twin Peaks garnered millions of devoted fans who refused to let it die. In A Place Both Wonderful and Strange, film and tv critic Scott Meslow takes us behind the curtain of the series, and Lynch's and Frost's dedication to finishing what they had started with both the prequel film and Twin Peaks: The Return. The show raised as many questions as it answered and Meslow has conducted dozens of original and revelatory interviews that cast a whole new light on this extraordinary work. With David Lynch's passing in 2025, there may never be another return to the mysterious and unforgettable town of Twin Peaks, but A Place Both Wonderful and Strange brings readers thrillingly back into that inimitable world.
