type: nonfiction subtitle: 50 Years of the Good Parts estimatedPages: 300 summary: A personal tour through a lifetime of movies and television: reviews, memories, arguments, rediscoveries, and reflections on actors, storytelling, nostalgia, taste, and changing technology. Less a guide to what is “good” than an account of what watching does to us, and how films and shows become tangled with memory, pleasure, aging, and ordinary life.
