Kiss Me Quick Before I Shoot edition by Guy Magar Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
This is a much over due review but no words I write will ever do this book justice. I hosted this author during a book tour in October. As the tour ended, his wife for whom this memoir was written for had passed away. Words failed me in so many ways.
Although filed under memoirs, this book is more of a love story. And it's the best love story I've seen because it's the real thing. You meet Hollywood director Guy Magar who openly shares the memories he has had with his wife. There are a few big names like Drew Barrymore and James Cameron in there which will tickle you.
Mostly, this book will touch you in a very non-Hollywood way. There are no bright lights, no fancy stage. These are but the mere reflections of one man and the woman he loves. And when a man loves a woman .... now we all know how that goes, don't we?
Would I recommend this read? Oh yes, definitely. This a book that will change you in one way or another.

Disclosure I received a review copy of this book from the author through Orangeberry Book Tours. I did not receive any payment in exchange for this review nor was I obliged to write a positive one.
Kiss Me Quick Before I Shoot is actually two books. The first part of the story traces author Guy Magar's roller-coaster career in the movie and tv business; the second recounts his wife's battle with leukemia.
Magar writes in a straight ahead, concise, no bull-shit style and packs a truckload of strange stories and information (which will be of particular interest to prospective filmmakers) in 310 pages. Warning your life is going to seem dull compared to his. He is ambitious, but he also is incredibly determined to move forward despite rejection and roadblocks. One theme is how stunningly frustrating the industry is. You think you've got a project green-lit, then a studio honcho leaves and his replacement drops the whole thing and you have to start over.
Magar illustrates his points with stories that leave the reader shaking their head. One example Magar was directing a video of Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidigger's Experiment" for a university art department and the makeup woman was so bad, instead of aging the actors, she made it seem like "pieces of rubber flesh were hanging off their faces." There was no way this video could be shown without severe ridicule. Magar did not, however, throw the tape away. He sent it to the people hiring on the soap "Capitol" with a letter of explanation. He said he had taken the liberty of adding a twist to the Hawthorne story by making all the characters lepers. Drinking the water not only turned them young, but cured their leprosy. The "Capitol" producer thought it was brilliant and hired Magar to direct 35 hour-long episodes, a huge boost to his career.
Magar includes dozens of great photos of film and tv ads for shows he's done. The man has met many A, B, and C list folks in his travels and gives insights into the behind-the-scenes machinations of how projects are put together, stressing the importance of a good script over all else. Magar doesn't hold back when he describes the difficulty in moving up the ladder. You have to like people. Networking is vital to have a career. And frightening chutzpah.
Magar's tracing of the treatment his wife Jacqui's leukemia is just as detailed. As tough as he had to be to succeed, Guy Magar still retained the capacity to love and share a life. That is obvious when he writes of their relationship. His drive to get Jacqui the best treatment exceeds even his professional determination.
Magar is also founder of Action/Cut Filmmaking Seminars and Short Film Competition, an important resource for new filmmakers. He is--in every sense, an insider--a director/writer/producer who's got the chops and stories to make this a must read for fans and hopeful neophytes in the industry.
Reviewed by Joe DelPriore for IndieReader
This book is a must read for anyone interested in film, or anyone who just wants to hold on and enjoy the roller-coaster, larger-than-life saga of a life lived to its fullest.
It's funny, it's inspiring, it's informative, and it's filled with nuggets of wisdom that could only come from someone who dares to continually take chances.
Like many successful artists, Magar is a complex character. Watching him navigate the twists and turns of his adventure-packed trek through the Hollywood Jungle and still keep his sense of humor and humanist sensitivities is a joyful experience. And I won't be a spoiler by revealing the gripping battle he and his beautiful wife Jacqui have with a major disease, and how they handle this physically and emotionally.
I highly recommend this book - you'll put it down feeling satisfied and feeling that you have been privileged to share in a rich journey.
This is a book for anyone interested in screenwriting and making a script go from words on a page to the live action on the big screen. Director Guy Magar is a truly gifted filmmaker. His book manages to encapsulate three stories in one-- his Hollywood career and the making of a screenwriter, his great romance with his wife, and her brave struggles to overcome illness. You'll cheer for him all the way.
