Here are five pearls of wisdom we gleaned from the tome.
The pair also once wrote, and then abandoned, a film script titledBoobs in the Night.
FIND LIKE-MINDED COLLABORATORSThe brothers gladly admit that they rely on help and advice from a large group of collaborators.
Random House
You are likely ignoring something you missed and that could quite possibly sink your movie.
All because you are afraid to admit you dont know everything about making movies?
Who the f does?
Okay, fine, the Coen Brothers.
Of course, Mark and Jays most like-minded collaborators have always been each other.
BUY A HOUSE AND INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKETAre you a young, struggling artist?
Yes, the bathroom was nasty and the kitchen was roach-heavy but it was worth it.
In 2002 we were renting DVDs from a new mail order business called Netflix, write the brothers.
We bought a slew of shares in 2005 when they were only $20 a piece.
That purchase single-handedly funded one of our smaller films with its profits.
THE CAVALRY ISNT COMINGThe brothers big advice on breaking into the film industry?
The truth is, that s never happens, they write.
Okay maybe once in a super-rare while.
But it didnt happen to us.
And it probably wont happen to you.
So, forget about that.
That is the cavalry.
And the cavalry isnt coming.
Sometimes they pay to fly you there, sometimes they dont, the pair write.
Save money for flights.
