If you love the magic but hate the hype...if your heroes have always been twenty feet high...if the eyes of the ten-year-old celluloid junkie inside grow wide when the white light fires up the silver screen...you dwell in the land of Harry Knowles, the 30-year-old, 350-pound college dropout who reigns as the Roger Ebert of his generation. Now Harry tells how he started a movie-based Web site, ain't-it-cool-news.com, purely for his own enjoyment...how he become the most feared, sought-after outsider in the entertainment industry...how his significant, sometimes strange encounters with the New Media mogul likes of Matt Drudge and Quentin Tarantino may impact tomorrow's movies...and why studio test marketers fear "ain't-it-cool." All this, plus his top ten favorite and least favorite films, and those he would most like to see get made but probably never will, along with his Geek Manifesto on what's wrong with Hollywood will have you dancing in the aisles clamoring...
