Started yesterday, seems rather nice, I just hope it doesn't go overboard with the gossipy stuff.

Although I'm not sure it will be as "scholar" -if you like- as Pierson's book: Spike, Mike, Slackers, & Dykes: A Guided Tour Across a Decade of American Independent Cinema, but Pierson's deals mostly with the 80's, and it scratches the early 90's, while Biskind's goes on from the 90's.

There is also another one The Movie Brats: How the Film Generation Took over Hollywood (this one dealing with the birth of the author cinema on the US, and the death of the studio system, just like Biskind's own Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'N' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood), but I couldn't get ahold of it yet.
