Movie Speak
Santa Monica Public Library 601 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica map
Time: 7:00 pm
Cost: Free
When is "groucho" not a comedian? A "seagull" not a bird? A "banana" not a fruit, and a "taco cart" not a food stand? The language of moviemaking, like other secret lexicons, is the only accepted way of communicating on a set-and is all but unknown to the outside world. In "Movie Speak: How to Talk Like You Belong on a Movie Set", Tony Bill offers readers an irreverent, backstage look at the language of Hollywood.
