This has been mentioned before but deserves its own thread. Behind the Scenes With Count Olaf is some sort of movie tie-in book. I have no clue what it is exactly. Is it connected to the series like the autobio, or something to do with Jim Carrey? The only clue we have is this rather ambiguous blurb from Harper Collins: <<Are you standing up? Well, you'd better be, because you're about to give a standing ovation!!! Come behind the scenes of the Greatest Film Ever Made with me -- Count Olaf -- the movie's unspeakable dashing writer, director, producer, art director, cameraman, stuntman, set designer, and star! You'll get: Rare behind-the-scene photos of me, looking extremely handsom! An absolutely spectacular fire! The last moments of several useless extras! Top-secret costume designs that could make even orphans look good! A robotic monkey dressed as a baby! One of the largest manmade bodies of water ever constructed, with the exception of reservoirs and other artificial lakes! Your favorite moments from the film, with candid remarks by me, moviemaking genius! Other Hollywood hijinx! If you don't buy this book, you'll regret it. (That's not a joke.) So join Count Olaf -- that's me! -- on this journey through the magical movieland of my mind! >>

;D That sounds so cool! Depending on how good the movie is, I may or may not get it... Meaning, if I like the movie, even a bit, I'll trick myself into loving it, and buy the book. If not, I'll keep trying to like it.

I'm gonna hate the movie. I just know it. But who cares? I'll still buy every piece of merchandise and every book that's related to the series.

I think I'll buy this book too, if only to find out what it really is. The movie looks pretty good, by which I mean it has great-looking sets and costumes. But it could still be a great disappointment, what with Jim Carrey and his antics.
