Jimmy Fallon is very thankful. And in this first book to come from his TV show, he expresses his gratitude for everything from the light bulb he's too lazy to replace to the F12 button on his computer's keyboard. He thanks microbreweries for making his alcoholism seem like a neat hobby. He thanks the name "Lloyd" for having two L's. Otherwise it would just sound like "Loyd." He thanks the slow-moving family walking in front of him on the sidewalk. Without this "barricade of idiots," he might never have been forced to walk in the street and risk getting hit by a car in order to get around them. He's thankful to you, the person reading this right now. It means you're considering buying this book. You should do it. You will be thankful that you did.

From the early stages of script writing to the final cut, We Have Some Notes... provides a detailed overview of the script editing and development process, emphasising the impact of critical feedback, or 'notes', in the creation of successful films and television shows. Through interviews with leading industry practitioners, including Lynne Ramsay, Russell T Davies, Sally Wainwright, Edgar Wright, Lone Scherfig, Ben Wheatley and Simon Beaufoy, Venetia Hawkes explores the writer, director and note-giver relationship. The interviewees discuss the most productive and harmonious ways to give and receive feedback, and the role notes play in a fruitful creative process. Respected 'note-givers', such as Tessa Ross, Eva Yates and Pippa Harris, provide advice on nurturing successful development relationships. Inter-chapter sections pose key questions, such as "What's one thing never to do if you're giving notes?" and "How do you deal with rejection or critical notes?" Providing illuminating, practical guidance on ways of working successfully with notes, for both writers and directors. With its wealth of first-hand reflections, expert advice, and historical context, We Have Some Notes... is a vital read for students, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the making of acclaimed films and television series.

Dangerous Jokes develops a new theory about how humor in ordinary conversations communicates prejudice and reinforces social hierarchies, drawing on the author's expertise in philosophy of language and on evidence from sociology, law and cognitive science. It explains why jokes are more powerful than ordinary speech at conveying demeaning messages, and it gives a new account of listening, addressing the morality of telling, listening to, being amused by, and laughing at demeaning jokes.
