...Boys II. Other fanboys who have gone on to work in the business include Spider-Man director Sam Raimi; the two Transformers writers, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci; and David Arquette, who showed up for a screening of the horror film he wrote and directed, The Tripper, in a fake-blood-spattered suit. "I can relate more to people at a horror convention than I can to most Hollywood executives," says Arquette. "They're more passionate...
...things Kevin Rudd claims to have discovered during his time in politics is that Australians can spot a fraud at 50 paces.

Since all biographies and autobiographies are in some sense fictional constructs, it could be (cynically) argued that their product was probably no less authentic than more respectable entries in the field. Indeed, in the aftermath of their effort, Irving has often insisted that theirs was a terrific book. Whether or not that's true, both...
