Nathan Rabin's Happy Place's Definitive Guide to American Movies about the Film Industry
Hey you beautiful people,
I'm currently deep into draft 9 of The Fractured Mirror. I'm very close to being finished. Here's a blog post I wrote about it: https://www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/2025/2/6/the-fractured-mirror-a-magnificent-obsession

Today seems like a good (Black Friday)day to mention that I’m the world’s most prolific author of books about “Weird Al” Yankovic and that you can buy, signed, directly from me or from Amazon (buy from me, please; they already have enough money) the many books I’ve written about the legendary performer.
These books make great Christmas presents. And what better way to say “I love you.” than with the gift of a book about “Weird Al” Yankovic?
These include
The Weird Accordion to Al: A beautifully illustrated 516-page guide to Al’s life’s work in music, film, and the live stage, featuring an introduction from Al, who also fact-checked and copy-edited (he was very generous with his time). This covers every song on every album, every episode of The Weird Al Show and Al’s season of Comedy Bang Bang, his Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, and essays on The Compleat Al, UHF and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
The Weird A-Coloring to Al: A gorgeously illustrated 120-page coloring book covering every aspect of Al’s career, including Weird: The Al Yankovic Story featuring the artwork of the brilliant Felipe Sobreiro (a contributor to The Illustrated Al, among other distinctions) that Al called
“unquestionably the greatest coloring book of all time” as well as “the perfect gift for hardcore “Weird Al” fans, and...you know, people who just like to randomly color in stuff”
The Weird A-Coloring to Al: Colored In Special Edition
My illustrator is a colorist by trade, so I had him create a kaleidoscopic hardcover colored version of the book with a new introduction from me. The books are signed by Felipe and myself and numbered (270). They also come with a nifty limited edition 5 by 7 print featuring Felipe’s artwork, signed by Felipe and myself, and limited to 27 cards apiece.
Weird Al: The Book: Al personally chose me to write his 2012 coffee-table book Weird Al: The Book. You can buy a signed copy directly from me for the first time ever. This is such a new development that it’s not in my store yet, but if you PayPal me 25 dollars at [email protected] with your address, I’ll send you a copy.
Get them now before I start charging shipping in January! Please consider buying more than one thing, as I’d love to save on shipping, which is very expensive.
This Santa is going crazy—with amazing deals!
This Christmas, my site will be ground zero—for incredible bargains!
